Migraine problem?

Question

when I was a kid I used to suffer acute maigraine that resulted in vomitings and totally painful immobility for atlest next 12 to 18 hours.... Now they reduced a lot. And recently I discovered that these bad head aches are lasting no more than 2 hours..and the very next monet I am feeling so fresh and euphoric. Is this a good sign or bad singn????.....

No medication worked for me. The only cure I would take shelter in is to imprison myself in a dark room with total silence...

Umm... I apologize if i sound rude... But I asked if the sudden relief from migrain within two hours... is that a good sign or bad sign??? I know the prefect solution for me to handle migrain.. That is to sleep in a dark soundless room for a few hours... I am not interested in any other cure or medication. Could you please tell me if its a good sign or bad sign... if I am getting rid of my migrain aches within two hours?????

Answer 1

You did not mention if you had any treatment or medication for the pain. Some migrains are there which goes off automatically on aging.
You are lucky enough for having a tremendous improvement instead of progression & persist-ency of migraine with your growing up.
Actually there's no medicinal cure to this painful disease. Your problem hopefully will totally be off when you are further grown up. But yet, you visit the site

Remember cure through natural treatment is always best & sustainable.
Good luck & have a nice time.

More than 28 million Americans — three times more women than men — suffer from migraine headaches, a type of headache that's often severe. Although any head pain can be miserable, a migraine headache is often disabling. In some cases, these painful headaches are preceded or accompanied by a sensory warning sign (aura), such as flashes of light, blind spots or tingling in your arm or leg. A migraine headache is also often accompanied by other signs and symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine pain can be excruciating and may incapacitate you for hours or even days.

Fortunately, management of migraine headache pain has improved dramatically in the last decade. If you've seen a doctor in the past and had no success, it's time to make another appointment. Although there's still no cure, medications can help reduce the frequency of migraine headaches and stop the pain once it has started. The right medicines combined with self-help remedies and changes in lifestyle may make a tremendous difference for you.

Migraines are a chronic disorder, but they're often undiagnosed and untreated. If you experience signs and symptoms of migraine, track and record your attacks and how you treated them. Then make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your migraines and decide on a treatment plan.

If you don't have a treatment plan when a migraine headache strikes, try over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen sodium (Aleve) or aspirin, or other self-care measures for a day or two. If you don't get relief, see your doctor. Don't give aspirin to children under 16 because of the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease.

Even if you have a history of headaches, see your doctor if the pattern changes or your headaches suddenly feel different. See your doctor immediately or go to the emergency room if you have any of the following signs and symptoms, which may indicate another, more serious medical problem such as a concussion:

* An abrupt, severe headache like a thunderclap
* A new severe headache that isn't just on one side of your head
* Headache with fever, stiff neck, rash, mental confusion, seizures, double vision, weakness, numbness or trouble speaking
* Headache after a recent sore throat or respiratory infection
* Headache after a head injury, especially if the headache gets worse
* A chronic headache that is worse after coughing, exertion, straining or a sudden movement
* New headache pain if you're older than 55

It's likely your headaches don't signal a serious medical condition. But in a small number of cases, headaches may be a symptom of a blood clot or brain tumor. They may also signal temporal arteritis — a rare, headache-related condition that usually affects people older than 55 and, if not treated, may lead to blindness or stroke.

Self-care measures can help ease the pain of a migraine headache. Try these headache helpers:

* Keep a diary. A diary can help you determine what triggers your migraines. Note when your headaches start, how long they last and what, if anything, provides relief. Be sure to record your response to any headache medications you take. Also pay special attention to foods you ate in the 24 hours preceding attacks, any unusual stress, and how you feel and what you're doing when headaches strike. If you're under stress, tell your doctor.
* Try muscle relaxation exercises. Progressive muscle relaxation, meditation and yoga don't require any equipment. You can learn them in classes or at home using books or tapes. Or spend at least a half-hour each day doing something you find relaxing — listening to music, gardening, taking a hot bath or reading.
* Get enough sleep, but don't oversleep. The average adult needs seven to nine hours of sleep a night.
* Rest and relax. If possible, rest in a dark, quiet room when you feel a headache coming on. Place an ice pack wrapped in a cloth on the back of your neck and apply gentle pressure to painful areas on your scalp.

That is very similar to how my migraines played out when I was younger. Vomitting and terrible pain for about 12 hours, but then the next day I would feel much better -- better than before the migraine.
As I've gotten older (now 35), I get migraines much less frequently, but when I do get them, the vomitting is worse (every 15 minutes for 8-12 hours). By then end of the ordeal, I am so worn out from the vomitting, it takes a couple of days to fully recover. No more euphoria.
So back to your question: it seems to me as if migraines change over time differently in different people. I've heard that people sometimes 'outgrow' their migraines. I've been hoping that would happen to me. No such luck yet, but maybe it is happening to you?

Try FEVERFEW!!! it's an herbal supplement that rescued me 10years ago...I was having them twice a month, & had just had a baby...couldn't crawl under the covers for a day or so to get rid of it anymore...so the hospital gave me Imitres...and promptly discovered I'm allergic to that....so talking to a friend, she told me about it & I started taking 1 capsule every day for the next 2 months...didn't have a single headache! Then it was almost 6 months before I got a vision disturbance (here it comes...) so I took another capsule & it went away, without ever exploding into a headache. Like I said, it's been over 10 years, & I've only had 1 migraine since then, when I was out of town without my supply of feverfew.

Answer 5

this may sound insane but I did some research on parasites........I recommend you see a doctor to make sure there are no cists on your brain. Sometimes parasites lose their way throught the body and end up in other parts. Alot of ailiments are caused by them ranging from migraines to seizures and are over looked by doctors. Don't freak out! the cyst if that is the problem is not difficult to clear up with the right medicines.
