Answer 1

A migraine headache is caused by hormonal fluctuations which
cause blood vessels in the head and neck to contract and then
dilate. The first phase, or contraction phase, may last minutes,
hours, or days. During this phase, symptoms can be spots in
front of the eyes, difficulty concentrating, and cold fingertips
and hands. This is called an "aura". Many people recognize this
phase of their headaches; many others don't notice any symptoms
at this time. Some people who think they don't have an "aura"
can learn to recognize it.

When the blood vessels dilate, the headache pain starts.
Apparently the hormones over-react. Instead of just going from a
contracted state back to normal, the blood vessels dilate much
wider than normal, causing pain. Other things also happen about
the same time: swelling of the brain, release of certain
chemicals, and perhaps muscle tension. These things add to the pain.

The following are natural remedies:

1) Chiropractic trement
2) biofeedback
3) Aupuncture, aromatherapy, and myotherapy
4) multivitamin treatments.
5)food sensitivity, increassed blood sugar
6) nutritional supplements
7) herbs
8) sex hormones.



Most of the treatments in this FAQ are used to prevent migraines
from happening. This section describes things you can do when
you're in pain, to reduce the pain.

-- Have a bath or shower.
-- Lie down to rest in a dark room.
-- Avoid bright or flashing light.
-- Put something cold on the back of your neck, such as
a cold, wet cloth; or alternate hot and cold cloths
where the pain is.
-- Put a cold compress on your forehead and your feet in a
container of warm water.
-- Have a drink of water or natural juice, especially tomato juice.
-- Have some food, or a nutritious drink, if you
haven't eaten for a while.
-- Massage your own face, head, neck and shoulders, or get someone
else to do those and your back. Relax your muscles.
-- Press on two pressure points at the back of the neck. These
points are about two inches apart, just below the base of
the skull. Press for a minute or two. This releases
endorphins that help against pain.
-- Massage or press on the fleshy area between thumb and
forefinger.
-- Gently lean the head to left or right to stretch the neck muscles.
Massage and relax any tense muscles.
-- Avoid sources of stress. Cancel activities so there's less
to worry about.
-- Avoid exercise during a headache if it makes throbbing pain
in the head and neck worse. On
the other hand, generally exercise improves health, and
it may help you relax during a headache.
-- Take some niacin (a form of vitamin B3). Taking enough
niacin to cause a flush (blood rushing to the skin) can
provide relief from headache pain, but this much niacin
can also have side effects (flush, nausea, heartburn,
liver damage, etc.) Niacinamide doesn't have such bad
side effects, but isn't as much use against migraines, either.
Smaller, safer amounts of niacin are also helpful.
Niacin can trigger a migraine, though.
-- Take some vitamin C, vitamin B6, choline, tryptophan and niacin
and/or magnesium.


.Common migraine triggers include:

Hormonal changes. Although the exact relationship between hormones and headaches isn't clear, fluctuations in estrogen seem to trigger headaches in many women with known migraines. Women with a history of migraines often report headaches immediately before or during their periods, and this corresponds to a major drop in estrogen. Others have an increased tendency to develop migraines during pregnancy or menopause. Hormonal medications, such as contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy, also may worsen migraines.


Foods. Certain foods appear to trigger headaches in some people. Common offenders include alcohol, especially beer and red wine; nuts, aged cheeses; chocolate; fermented, pickled or marinated foods; aspartame; overuse of caffeine; monosodium glutamate — a key ingredient in some Asian foods; certain seasonings; and many canned and processed foods. Skipping meals or fasting also can trigger migraines.

Stress. A hard week at work followed by relaxation may cause weekend migraines.

Sensory Stimuli- bright blights and sunglare can produce head pains. So can unusual smells -including pleasant smells such as flowers and perfumes. and unpleasant odors such as paint thinner and secondhand smoke.

Changes in wake-sleep pattern- either not enough sleep or too much sleep may trigger migraines in some individuals.

physical Activity- intense exercise even sex can trigger migraines.

A change in the environment-- a change of weather, season, altitude levels; barometric pressure or time zone can promote migraine.

Medications some meds have headaches as side effects.

High blood pressure can also cause headaches. so will hypoglycemia or hunger

Answer 5

excedrine migrane works for me. for serious migranes i find the best thing is earplugs face mask and sleep until its gone. also drink a good amount of water. dehydration causes veins in your head to shrink and throb and hurt your head.

also you might want to get a CAT scan or an MRI on your head to make sure theres no medicial cause.

Answer 6

You made no mention of what the treatments were. Other than they were not effective.If you have not been to see a doctor of Chiropractic, you have missed the boat. Is one of their specialties.

Answer 7

As one who suffered for decades with them.....I wish I had a second opinion like that! (Except I don't have testicles? Maybe it was the skin tight jeans on my ovaries. LOL)
