I have a migraine...

[BabyPiglet]

It's one of those 'over the eye' headaches that I have pretty often. It's been almost non-stop for the last two days and I've already taken my weight in ibuprofen. I've also taken this powder stuff that my boss told me always works for him, but it didn't help.

Most of the time it's just a dull pain and sort of...pulsing? But for about a couple hours at a time it will be this really really awful blinding kind of migraines. Where I just want to lay in a really dark room and just scream.

Anyway, I'm out of ideas to help my poor head. I'm was already dreading work tomorrow but now I kind of want to cry at the thought of it. Thinking about that really really bright store and all the noise and music.....

So I need help, you guys got any ideas. Any medicine you take that really helps? Anything you usually do that seems to ease the pain?

OMG i get migraines ones a week, I take Lyrica for that.
Just take a cold compreess over your forehead and massage your temples or over your eyes too, and keep taking ibuprofen

All I can tell you to do is sleep.
I get horrible migraines, I get nauseous (I don't end up getting sick though, thank god), and the only way for them to go away for me is to sleep. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it only makes it a bit better.
Mine only last one day, but nothing works. I have to take the tylenol or the Excedrin or whatever AS SOON as I get up or I will have a migraine. There are days where it doesn't matter how fast I take it, I get one.

And it's not fun. Because I'm hungry right? But the idea of eating makes me want to puke, and then I get a stomach ache from not eating, but then I eat and I feel fine WHILE eating, but after I just feel gross.

Ick that sucks!!
I hope you're over it by now!!

I had a TERRIBLE headache the other day (i don't want to say migraine, because I don't really think it a was as bad as a full blown migraine.) but i didn't do anything about it, I was just an idiot and tried to muscle through the pain. Not such a great idea.

I've also been having some weird stuff going on with my eyes, and my throat started KILLING me yesterday.
I went to the Dr. today and he said I have an eye infection and a sinus infection...

The good ol' 1-2 punch.

Ouch I have one of those right now! It sucks. Have some water, put an ice pack over your eyes and lay down!
Feel better!

I get migraines too. Have you taken Excedrine Migraine? It's the best stuff out there for migraines (IMO).

That Head On stuff actually does help too.

I hope you feel better soon!

ITA.
While my migraines never go away with medication, Excedrin does make the pain less...

I had what I thought was migraines, for about three months, everyday. But it turned out that I needed glasses. I would get them above my eyes, and it would hurt so bad I cried. But they still come every now and then cause I dont wear my glasses as much as I should, my fault. But just lay down, all lights off, and a warm compress over you eyes. Hope you feel better.
