Re: migraines.......
I get them. I never go to the doctor for them. It usually takes me a whole day to recover from it. Thank God I usually get them on the weekends. Last week I had one on Friday at work and was miserable. It was so bad that I couldn't concentrate and missed my train stop and then had to take 3 'naps' before bed and finally on Satruday morning it was gone. I 'overdose' I am using the term loosely on over the counter stuff. Usually tylenol Extra strength because that what is normally around. I take 2 then wait 1/2 hr and then take 1 more and keep up this cycle every 3 hours or so. I usually have to take a long nap for it to go away and even when I wake up my head still feels achy. It's weird but I feel your pain!

UGH, it ***** doesn't it....... blah! I should try tylenol. My doctor wanted to give me demerol for it but I said no. Guess I should have taken her up on that offer...... I tried having a shower today and the water hitting my head was horrible.....

Do you vomit as well with your migraines? Is that a normal part of it?

Re: migraines.......
I get them really really bad!!! I've been seeing a neurologist for about 15 years now! I currently take Relpax- and I swear it is a MIRACLE drug!!! I've been on at least 9 different meds since I started seeing the Dr., and this one finally works!!! If it continues I'd see a doctor!!! They're H*LL!!

Re: migraines.......
Oh Yeah....Migraines all by themselves will knock the SH*T outta you!! I know I'm always tired after one...but Relpax really works for me and doesn't make me more tired!

Re: migraines.......
I get them. I have been suffering from one all week -- its not full blown so I can function but barely.
I don't go to the doctor for them. I take a lot of Motrin, go into a pitch black room (I cover the blinds and curtains, put towels under the door and a pillow over my head and just try and sleep them off.
Caffenine and peanut help a little believe it or not.
Feel better.
ETA: Yes vomitting can be part of it.

Re: migraines.......
I suffer from migraines, I actually had a bad one 2 mondays ago. I get nausea...It was awful.But this time I never got sick. My friend, who is an EMT came over and my blood pressure was all out of wack...i thought something was going to burst in my head. And to top it all off, my DH was on call and stuck in the city! I called my mom and she came to the rescue!!! I am very light sensitive it needs to be completely dark. I have this heating pad called the bed buddy and its filled with corn and all sorts of smelly stuff, but when you heat it up, it gets moist and I will place it under my neck and then if I need to, put it over my eyes and forehead.
I agree that caffine helps, I take excedrin migraine - it is wonderful - its like a mixture of a tylenol an advil and caffine.
I know how you feel, almost like a Zombie! I feel your pain!

Re: migraines.......
BE CAREFUL with Overdosing with tylenol, it has aspirin in it and I have been told that a really high dose can kill you...IM sure this means half the bottle but I dont know
