Question: Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent Migraines!?
My fiance suffers with occasional migraines that are very dibilitating!. He doesn't take any medication for it because they don't happen that often!. I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to help prevent them!. A couple of my friends have the same problem and it is severe for each of them when it happens!. I don't know much about what causes migraines, or how to treat them, so I was hoping someone here might have some suggestions!. Thx So Much!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to get a lot of migraines but once I gave up caffeine they dropped right off to only a couple a year!. It might be dietary, your boyfriend should give up caffeine and sugar and see if it helps him!. I find that also stress and bright lights are triggers for me!. He needs to analyse what's happening when he gets them!. As shown by the variety of answers here what works for one person doesn't work for another, it's such an individual thing!. He doesn't need to take medication for it all the time, but the doctor can prescribe things to take when he does get them!. I've used a nasal spray called Immigran (also available in tablet, but nasal delivery works faster)!. You use it as soon as you feel the migraine coming on and it kills it off!. Instead of being out of action for hours I'm ok within half an hour!. Migraines are awful, people who have never had one should be thankful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i feel his pain!. i also suffer from debilitating migraines!. there is no way to prevent them from happening but as soon as he feels the onset of one, he should immediately take pain killers!. The thing that works best for me is to take 2 Excedrin migraine liquid gels!. they are suppose to start working within 15 minutes of taking them!. They are available over the counter!. It's not recommended to take more than 2 in a 24 hour period!. It also helps to drink some sort of caffeine like Pepsi!. Then to lay down and take a nap!.!.!.!.!.stay away from light and sound!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It depends on what triggers his migraines!. If it happens during certain activities he can take a pain reliever before he does them!. Even if they are infrequent, it is important for him to see his doctor!. He can get a prescription for a low number of pills but I can tell you from personal experience that they help a lot!. There are some that can have an effect in 20 minutes or less (I LOVE these ones!!)!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I went to a chiropractor about my headaches and she has been amazing!. There was a problem in my neck causing the headaches and she was able to fix it!. After being very much against it initially, now I would recommend anybody with headaches or migraines to get checked out by a chiropractor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't think as of now we know why people have them!. There are many treatments for migraines!. The newest being Botox!. One treatment last for 4-6 months!. Sort of expensive but worth it!. They are shots given by your doctor!. You may like to look into to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I can give you a website to have him look at that is just for people who have migraines!. He totally has my sympathy because I've had migraines since age 11, and to put it bluntly they suck!. Here is the migraine link: http://www!.migraines!.org

There is no way to prevent them without medication, but if he takes an anti inflammatory, like aspirin, drinks a lot of water, and has a lot of caffeine it should help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm not a pills fan myself, so I usually take a nap!. By the time I wake up, it's all gone!. If it isn't, then lay an ice pack across your head and relax and unwind for a bit!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Marijuana is an affective step for cures and preventative care, but obviously has other affects that may be unwanted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
