migranes????

Question

how can you cure/prevent migranes?

what are some non chemical ways to prevent/cure em'?

Answer 1

keep a log of the foods you eat each time you get a migraine and see if there is a pattern. If so, try to avoid those foods. When I get a migraine, if I take Ibuprofen immediately along with caffeine, and then lay down for about 20 minutes in a dark quiet place, it will usually subside. If that doesn't work for you, consult your physician. There are new medications now that can help with migraines.

Answer 2

I hope this helps you.

Migraine Prevention

Of the 28 million Americans who suffer from frequent and severe migraine attacks—only 5% are treated with migraine prophylaxis (prevention medicine). You may benefit from migraine prevention therapy if you have two or more disabling migraines a month, frequently use pain relief medicine or are unable to take triptans or other migraine pain relief medicines. In fact, if recurring migraines seriously interfere with your daily life, then migraine prevention therapy could help.

Migraine prevention medicine
Different types of medicines are used for migraine prevention.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved five drugs for migraine prevention:

TOPAMAX ® (topiramate) Tablets
Methysergide
Propranolol
Timolol and
Divalproex sodium
As with any prescription medicine, it's important to carefully follow the instructions on the label as well as your healthcare professional's advice. Use these migraine prevention medicines only under the direction of a healthcare professional familiar with migraine prevention therapy.

Migraine prevention includes pain relief
Even though migraine prevention medicine helps stop migraine headaches before they occur, you could still have occasional migraine headaches. To ease the pain of these "breakthrough" migraine headaches, your healthcare professional may also prescribe a pain relief medicine.

Answer 3

A few months after I joined the YMCA, my chiropractor remarked to me, "You know, you haven't reported one of those headaches in a while." I looked at her and said, "You know, you're right."

So of course I had to have one shortly after that.

However, the increased activity level which seems to go along with gym membership (at least if you're trying to get your money's worth out of the gym membership) seems to help *me* with migraines.

Answer 4

watching your diet and stress levels, keeping a diary of occurrences to find out what might be triggering them and then getting medicine from your doctor

Answer 5

get a prescription migraine medicine from your doctor....duh

there are no non chemical ways...if there were, why would anyone take medicine?
