My fiancé gets bad migraines often. Does any one know any ways to treat or get rid of them? What are some none-medicine approaches? Can any foods, activities, or resting positions help? Give me as much info as you can, thank you very much!

My husband gets them too. What he does is lies flat down in a dark room sometimes with his sunglasses on eyes closed and just takes deep breaths to relax and in about 20 minutes he is all better. Caffeine and bright light squiggly lines in a book or picture are some of his triggers. There are other foods that my trigger them but I am not sure what hey are. You may want to check www.webmd.com for more info on migraines and food triggers.

Many people have actually found that they are dehydrated. So, next time you get a migraine, drink 17 oz of water (not too cold) within 10 minutes. Many have been suprized with such a simple thing. Perhaps you will too.

I got rid of my ver bad migraines after I had my wisdom teeth extracted. I do not know whether it will work for her.
To lay still in a dark room with complete silence it helped a bit.

Drink lots of cool water. Heat stroke is a cause of maigraine.
Lie flat on the ground to equilibrise blood pressure differences that result in the brain having too much pressure or too little blood.
2 parecetamol 4 times daily. Anarex works better though because it helps to relax ur muscles.
Don't belittle maigraine. I know of a person who got wheeled into A&E with an exploded brain tumour. Needless to say, the tumour was previously undetected and he died on arrival.

besides the standards (which u will find when researching this on internet) i have found that breathing techniques are very helpful. Anna Coy has a breathing program or probably any breathing practice such as kundalini yoga breath of fire etc.
it helps me a lot. exercise is also one way some people have found to control migraines--often overlooked by those seeking medication.

A doctor told my daughter to take a couple of Bufferin and a Dr. Pepper for the caffiene.

chocolate, coffee, cheese and sugary things in general cause them. just get them to avoid those things whenever they can. stress can cause them too. oh, and long days at computer screens. if they happen in work get your partner to take a couple of minutes every hour to take a rest from the screen. (this is a legal requirement these days as far as i know.)

avoid Chocolate. I know this sounds odd, but my sister gets migranes, and her doc told her that. There is something in chocolate that can trigger migranes, especially if it is something you eat fairly often. Stress can also make them worse, so do relaxing exercizes.

I have to lie down and put pillows over my head to keep the light out...and then sleep for the day...if they are really bad for her, then she should go to a doctor
