Migraine Help Plse

If you suffer from migraines please help!

Yesterday I felt like i'd had a migraine e.g. when I tipped my head forward it was really painful. However, I usually get blurry vision first and hadn't had that.

This morning I woke at 5 with a head so sore I coulnd't lift my head off the pillow. Took 2 nurofen plus and went back to sleep. Woke at 7 and was no better. Took 2 more nurofen plus at 9 and went back to bed for 3 hours. Still no better. Now, 12 hours on I'm still no better.

I've never had a migraine that doesn't respond to nurofen plus. I'm in so much pain I'm freaking out.

Anyone had one like this?

DH has the flu - headache, fever, sore throat and sore tummy. I've just got a sore head so presume mine is migraine not flu.

HI FionaS. I went through a period a few years ago where I suffered a lot of migraines. I used to take nurofen but eventually it had no effect. Sometimes paracetamol worked better, but sometimes not and I just had to suffer through it until it went away, usually a day or so. I would often loose my appetite and get the nausea and vomitting too, then feel a bit better after vomitting and a sleep. Do you feel nauseous as well? Maybe try paracetamol and lie down in a dark room with a cold flannel on your head.

Sorry forgot to mention also that after going to a Doc for my migraines I was put on a couple of pills which I was supposed to take when I could feel one coming on. Except sometimes I was a bit unsure if it was the start of a migraine or just a headache so was a bit reluctant to take these really strong pills if it was nothing more than a headache. I started seeing a chiropractor 2 years ago and I haven't had any more migraines since.

Yeah I saw one and he told me to go in next time I had one so he could check out what the root of them was but I don' t have the $$ at the mo.

Last time he treated me I had none for quite a while. He said they were hormonal and due to muscles in my neck.

Yeah I know they costs heaps and I almost fell over when I saw how much it was going to cost annually, but it does seem to work. My migraines were thought to be hormonal too, so when I got pregnant I thought they would come back with all the stuff going on with my body, but I continued seeing the chiropractor and didn't get a migraine.

I do agree with Bizzy though, turn off your computer now and go lie down. Hope you feel better soon.
