Relpax and puking for me is the only thing that brings relief... Taking imitrex (nasal spray or pills) is no different than salt water and candy for me... But I have had some decrease in the number of migraines since I started taking magnesium supplements so I think that there is something to that too...</p> I’m like Barbara E’s daughter… Relpax and puking for me is the only thing that brings relief… Taking imitrex (nasal spray or pills) is no different than salt water and candy for me… But I have had some decrease in the number of migraines since I started taking magnesium supplements so I think that there is something to that too…

My right eye turns red, face swells, and feel like my eye is going to blow out of my head! Have had them since 2005 at least twice a month, and down for 4 days at a time. Every med known to man-best one 3 tylenol pm's and a half a glass of beer, or tizadine and ice!! (anything more makes it worse) Just recieved my 3rd epideral steroid shot through the front of my neck.. Haven't had a knock down on my back migraine going on 3 months. Keep your fingers crossed. I think the shots are working. </p> Oh yes! I can relate!! My right eye turns red, face swells, and feel like my eye is going to blow out of my head!

It was hideous and I threw up. (TMI? I'm never sure.) Chiropractor has helped me. Excedrin migraine works if I catch it early enough. Otherwise I take darvocet and lay in a dark room. Noise, light and smell all make me sick. Ugh. If it gets really bad off to the ER I go and they shoot me full of demoral. Luckily that hasn't happened for a long time, but back in high school it was a semi-regular occurrence. Sitting in the ER with horrible florescent light with a migraine is miserable. <br /><br />Klonopin is great- but it’s highly addictive so I stay away from it. But the few times the doc has had me take it (I have fibromyalgia and it’s one of the treatment options.) I felt amazing! Which is probably why it’s highly addictive!!!!</p><br /><br /><p>On a different note I hate it when people say- "Oh, I have a migraine." then continue what they are doing. Maybe mine are just horrible but if you are able to hold your head up- it's not a migraine. <br /><br /></p> I had my first migraine when I was 8 too. It was hideous and I threw up. (TMI?

On a different note I hate it when people say- “Oh, I have a migraine.” then continue what they are doing. Maybe mine are just horrible but if you are able to hold your head up- it’s not a migraine.

But also, why, as a longtime reader, do you care what the title says? I mean, by this point, you know what you’re in for, right?
