Hey, aren’t migraines just the worst? I heard somewhere that sometimes caffeine helps, or maybe it’s an essential oil thing? Not sure, but I hope you find something that helps!
Migraine treatment can indeed vary significantly from one person to another, but generally, the approach is to prevent them from happening with medications like anticonvulsants or antihistamines, or to manage the immediate pain with NSAIDs or triptans. Biofeedback therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy have been shown to be effective for some, teaching them to manage the triggers and stress that might induce a migraine.
From what I’ve read and experienced personally, keeping track of what triggers your migraine is crucial. You might find that certain foods or environmental factors spark an episode. There’s also a lot of discussion around magnesium supplements being potentially helpful, though I think that’s more on a case-by-case basis.
Totally understand what you’re going through! I’ve suffered from migraines for years. Honestly, the best thing I’ve found is keeping a regular schedule and trying to avoid my triggers like bad smells and lights. When they do hit, I lie down in a dark, quiet room. It doesn’t fix it, but it’s the best I can do.
I can totally relate to needing something that works for headaches. For me, what usually does the trick is getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated. Sometimes, I use a cold compress on my forehead, and it seems to help a bit. Just simple stuff but it does help!
