Subject: RE: BS: Migraine sufferers, advice please?
Ohhhhhhhhh...I feel for you...migraines are THE WORST.

I don't know specifically what sets them off in me but I do know that complete silence and darkness are my friend. I'd say try to sleep if you can....but I know I never can...the nausea just won't allow for it.

To fine relief, I do 2 things...and don't laugh because it does seem to relieve the pain.

#1. I concentrate on my toes. Why? Because they don't hurt.

#2. Stick your finger down your throat and puke. I know, I know...it's gross and disgusting...but honestly, once that is over I feel about 90% better and am able to sleep the rest of it away. I can only speak for myself, but whether I wait until Mother Nature takes her course or if I induce it myself...the pain remains. Why wait?

I'm not a medical professional and would suggest that you seek help there....these 2 things are what works for me...with any luck, maybe they will provide some relief for you too.

Be well.
