Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I hope you feel better. What migraine meds do you take? Donna Julie Braswell <abnjb wrote: I have them too. Funny I see this email today because I got a migraine today at work and did not have my medicine with me. I remembered a old trick and it worked. Rub Ben-Gay all over your neck, shoulders, temples, behind ears. It is great! Julie " To be good, be useful; To be useful always be making something good.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Imitrex but I try not to take it if possible. It makes me feel real bad. I ache, my face gets puffy and my throat swells. It still does not take away the pain. Julie I hope you feel better. What migraine meds do you take? Donna Julie Braswell <abnjb wrote: I have them too.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I take Imitrex and it works almost 100%. I used to take the shot but I think there are less side effects with the pills. I try everything alternative but sometimes I have to take this med. Sorry you have side effects from it. Donna Julie Braswell <abnjb wrote: Imitrex but I try not to take it if possible.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I also suffer from migraines, but I'm a stubborn no-med-taker (not even aspirin). This weekend, I had one for at least 48 hours. I'll have to remember to try the ice water foot bath next time. I've also heard that smelling a Granny Smith apple is good for headaches. -Erin , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower> wrote: > > I take Imitrex and it works almost 100%.

I got them weekly in college. I took feverfew herb for about a year and really kicked the cycle. I also figured out the caffeine was a huge trigger for me. I rarely get them now, and no longer take feverfew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Carrots as well, Erin.. as is carrot juice. They boost the level of seratonin (spelled wrong, I'm sure) in the brain... which is what Immitrix does, although< I " m sure Immitrex does it more! =) jenni On Jan 25, 2006, at 3:22 PM, cronzen wrote: > I also suffer from migraines, but I'm a stubborn no-med-taker > (not even aspirin).

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I've been taking feverfew for YEARS now. It definitely reduced the frequency and severity. Maybe that's why I can tough them out these days. -Erin , " Amy " <sandpiperhiker> wrote: > > > > I also suffer from migraines, but I'm a stubborn no-med-taker > > (not even aspirin).
