Can I have a private post gem.
What do people use to help relieve migraines? I get one about every month/6 weeks, hormone related I think. I’m already on Amitriptyline, it effects my right side, an my eye (kinda like cluster), my eye streams an seems to close slightly. Hypersensitive to light an sound too. I drink plenty, paracetamol, codine if I can, i can’t take ibuprofen, what does anyone find helps?

Vicks Vapour Rub or a heat pack/hot water bottle, tried the cold pack, but I found the heat helped me heaps more.
Pink migraleve tablets from the chemist x
Daily propranolol was prescribed for me by GP to reduce the amount i was having which def helped, and then sumatriptan when i actually took one. They work great for me. Doesnt stop them completely but def an improvement from what i was suffering
Chronic daily migraines for 15 Years and several meds ,the best triptan is the sulmitriptan nasal spray and I highly recommend a cold cap and sleep . They suck. Hope the pain eases for you soon ❤️
I find a damp cold face cloth over forehead eyes and temples helps relieve it some.
Speak to a doctor but if you can take aspirin they’re very good for migraines, the dose can seem big but it’s safe and works well. 300mg – 900mg. I’ve always put a cold flannel on the back of my neck also. Hope this helps.
Ive tried most medications and all types of drs and tests
What helps me to relieve the pain is a cold pack and a heat pack one on forhead and ine on back of neck and alternate
Reheat and get another cold pack as needed but i think the cold and heat work together in some way to relieve the pressure
I get at least one a week, left eye for me and then sight goes ☹️
Unfortunately it’s back to the doctor to be assessed for different meds. I’ve had migraines for 30yrs, have steadily got worse the older I got. It’s trial and error until you find the one that works unfortunately. Every migraine sufferer is so different, I’ve been hospitalised by mine as they thought it was a stroke or a bleed.
Try getting a daith piercing on the side you get migraines. Doesn’t work for everyone but, if it does work, it really works. I was getting a migraine every week and after the daith piercing, maybe one every 3 months and not as bad. It’s been 8 years and made a huge difference
