how to get rid of migraines?

[fire1977]

I too am a migraine sufferer. I used to vomit so much when I had them I had to go the hospital 5 times my senior year in school. Here is my advice....
Like everyone said, caffiene and hydration are a biggie. I'd keep a record of foods that you eat and when you get your migraines. I think you will find something that may trigger them. One to watch out for is dried fruit, like raisons etc. some of the stuff they use to dry it has been known to cause migraines.

Second, I hate to get personal here but birth control pills can cause or worsen migraines. That was one the ones that made it worse for me.

Excedrin and other over the counter drugs are fine, but if you over use them too often you may damage your stomach.

I took everything imaginable, amedrine imotrex, maxalt, eventually I was on Percosets and vicoden. They made me so sick I decided to stop taking them.

I've managed to recognize my triggers so now I take a natural herbal supplement (which some people think helps) called feverfew. you have to take it everyday for a couple of months to get the benefits, but it has been suggested that it has the properties of a vasoconstrictor. This with a few advil migraine, which don't upset my stomach usually subdues or eliminates it.

As far as the computer screen goes, you can get screens for the front of a computer that will lessen the glare.

And that concludes my pseudo health lessons for today.
