migraine suffererers:

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 mentioned that i've recently begun feeling a little anxiety and i'm not sure if they are related (the migraines i get once every few months). He suggested doing some coke.

but, that's illegal. and expensive. and doesn't seem like it would work.

i'm thinking smoking some herb might help.

does anyone else suffer from infrequent migraines and if so, what do you take/do when they happen?

sounds all stress related. I would look at something that may have happened during this time period, linking to stress, causing anxiety which in turn cases migraines

^ ^ ^ ^ Is this the source of the stress?

i wouldnt suggest coke, due to possible hypertension issues. Some people get them from withdrawls of substances. But theres alot of scripts out there that work. even some anti-emetics have been working wonders

I press hard with my forefinger and thumb an accupressure point in the webbing between the thumb and forfinger of the other hand. if you are pressing in the right spot, it should feel like a dull ache in your hand. It works when I get headaches, but mine are not so bad as migraines.

i did a lot of coke in college- i wouldn't do it now at all.

the prescription drugs- are they the kind you take every day, or only when a migraine is coming on? because I have around 20 minutes warning (yeah, like the contortionists handbook. exactly like that). the warning is a strobelight starts going off in my eye.

It's one hell of an anisthetic.... I think it would work, for reall... but leads to other issues...

yep,, thers ones that you only take when u feel it coming on. Some are pretty pricey, but sounds like you only get them once and awhile. Imitrex is a popular one. Your warning signs--they donthave color to them. do they?

i get normal headaches once in a while, and can deal with them with tylenol.
the migraines are hard. i thought my eye was going to bust and blood would come pouring out of my ear.
I can't even carry on a conversation.

oh, and clockwork- my life is pretty close to stress free. or as stress free as one can get with kids, but they are really awesome kids.
