Answer 1

*OUCH* I can so relate to your suffering! I experienced migraine headaches weekly, sometimes more than once a week, for over 15 years. They were so bad I'd have to ice my head, turn off all the lights for total darkness, have complete silence, sometimes vomit, missed a lot of work days, made several trips to the ER. I haven't had one in about 6 years now.

Searching on-line I found the CURE for mine... magnesium. Magnesium has been touted for years as a cure for migraines! Don't expect a doctor to tell you though. Something so simple eliminated so much suffering. There are dozens and dozens of testimonials at the weblink I've included below.

I drink homemade magnesium bicarbonate water. Here is the recipe:

1 Liter Seltzer Water, chilled (NOT soda water)
2 Tbsp (6 tsp) Original Milk of Magnesia*
3 Gallons Culligan Water (there will be some left over)

*Be sure to get the MoM in which the "active ingredient" is Magnesium-hydroxide and nothing else, and the "inactive ingredient" is purified water and nothing else.

Chill the Seltzer water for an hour or two in the refrigerator. Open it, and when the fizzing settles down, spoon in 2 tablespoons (6 teaspoons) of Milk of Magnesia, put the cap back on, shake gently every few minutes and watch the cloudiness disappear as the Mg-hydroxide reacts with the CO2 and becomes Mg-bicarbonate.

After you've made the 1 liter concentrate, measure out 1/3 of it (333 ml) in a measuring cup. Pour it into a 1 gallon bottle and fill with Culligan (or regular) water. I mix this 1-gallon at a time.

If you don't like the water, take magnesium supplements purchased from a natural/whole food store. They cost a bit more, but the quality is far better than something you'd find on a pill-mill shelf at chain stores. It's definitely worth a try! It took about 10 days of me drinking the water before my migraines completely stopped, and I've never suffered with them again.

Answer 2

My doctor prescribed Relpax for me and that is working well. It's pretty expensive though so I hope you have good insurance. On the other hand I paid $125.00 for 9 pills until I met my deductible. Any price is worth it though to get rid of those headaches. They ruin an entire day or two or three sometimes. I've had headaches all my life (I'm 44) and this is the best thing I've found so far. Good-luck.

Answer 3

My wife always had headaches and even migraines. I say had, because we found a remedy... I recommend trying Limu Plus.

We both take it daily... my wife no longer gets headaches (re-markable!!!).

The cost for Limu Plus is inexpensive and effective!

For more information, I recommend visiting my website at:

I wish you a life changing health experience like my wife did... best of luck!

Go and buy a herb named feverfew. Grow it in a pot near your back door. Every day go and pick 2 leaves...wash them...and sandwich them between two slices of bread and eat them. It will take a few days to start working but it should help if you keep doing it. My son had terrible headaches but this worked for him. oh....the bread is to mask the taste a bit..you can just chew them...my son did..but they are a little bitter.

Answer 5

Go to a dr. and have him give you a prescription for medication like Imitrex or Maxalt. I've had migraines that no OTC medications could touch and Maxalt was a godsend....

Answer 6

always see a doctor if it concerns the head. a neurologist will be the perfect choice. go see him now. don't wait too long.
