well since you're already a pothead, I don't think marijuana would get rid of youri migrained otherwise you just wouldnt be getting them to begin with.



i vote heroine.

i don't smoke very often- not too much lately at all until... the end of summer really (growing season)... i thought maybe the anxiety was because I stopped.

I know that pot was already suggested. My girlfriend gets baddd migraines. Had to go to the hospital a few times because of them. Smoking's the best way to go so she says.

that's cool, cause i didn't really think it was a good solution, i just wanted an excuse to smoke more.
but if it really works... then that's AWESOME!!!

I was talking to a gay, but cute friend of mine about a recent migraine i had that has left me with a bloodshot eye (if that's any indication as to what the pressure from inside my head is like).

I believe drilling a hole in your head would help relieve some of that intracranial pressure.

Most "migraines" are not migraines so the most important thing is to know the difference between the headache you get with a migraine vs other kinds of headaches. Then try and note what other symptoms you get during your migraine - one can have a migraine without headache.

I take a variety of triptans, what ever I can get my hands on via script or samples I can bum off my doctor as the insurance only covers 9 pills and I can blow through those in 2 weeks - I only take them when I get the headache I can deal with aura issues and nausea.

When other symptoms kick in like nausea, visual aura, tingling in my fingers I make 24oz of coffee and make ice coffee and sip that for a few hours - sometimes it will make the headache less or buy me time to get more drugs if I'm out.

For the actual pain - I stand under the shower as hot as I can stand it and let it run over my head and for a few minutes my scull is so numb I feel no pain. Down side is that by the time I'm out and dried off the pain is throbbing again. After the shower I'll get comfortable in bed with one ice pack at the nap of my neck and the other across whatever side the pain has chosen to lodge itself.

A large bowl of fresh white sticky rice will help the nausea.

I have tried every therapy, drug, diet and whatever freak show bullshit hocus pocus remedy out there and there is no cure (at least for me) - there is just relief between episodes.

Don't fuck around with migraines - if you get them or think your are or know you do get medical help - they're not just a headache.

wow, that sucks.
these are definately migraines, not headaches, but i only get them every few months. sometimes I go a year without getting one and as long as i have immediate access to tylenol or motrin, i can ward it off and be left with just a bad headache, nausea, and tiredness.
when i haven't had anything to take, i'm knocked out by it. wherever i am- i can barely move or think. I had to drive home once with one and I almost passed out.
