Ugh, Migraines!

For the last two days, not today thank god, I have had a migraine plus what I like to call an “eye”graine. My whole right side of my face, from my eye to my ear, was hurting on Monday. On Tuesday it was my left side of my face. The pain feels like something is just digging into my brain and eyeballs trying to force it out of my head. It is just so unbearable that I try to just lay in bed and let it go away. I also tak migraine pain relievers, which didn’t help this time, but eventually they both did go away.

That brings me to today, migraine free and happy. Whenever I get a migraine it makes me think of the days cherish the days I don’t have one. I have a feeling that it was my contacts that have lead to these last few. My glasses broke about a month or two ago and since I have only been wearing my contacts. After Monday and Tuesday though I will be making me an eye doctor’s appointment and getting in ASAP.

Does anyone know any remedies for migraines when you get them? I am almost to the point where any kind of pain reliever doesn’t help. Is there a doctor prescribed medicine to prevent or lessen a migraine? I would be so happy to never have another one in my lifetime. I also pray my son never gets them.

    i suffer from the same horrendous pain and have had it checked by many doctors and ophthalmologists too. whenever i feel one coming on, i take two soluble disprin in a glass of water (not on an empty stomach though). it takes some time to work but it does help. also, stay away from bright light (especially from a point source). good luck
  • I have never been checked, but sometimes I think I should. The only thing that seems to help mine now is to "be sick" in the toilet and then rest. Bright light, loud noises and any movement just kills me.

    Thanks for the "good luck" and same to you.
