Migraines, OUCH!

Whenever I get migraines, I am miserable and very irritable. I don’t want any loud noise, movement or anything around me. I want to be under the covers staying completely still. I especially hate when they last for a week straight (off and on). I’m going to share some tips that help me in hopes they help you when of these puppies comes around.

First of all, stay hydrated and fed! That is the number one reason/s why migraines occur.
Second, I love Excedrin for Migraines. Those puppies are so effective in eliminating migraines effictively and fast. I’ve never, and I repeat NEVER found a medicine to be as effective AND fast as Excedrin. In fact, I bought a HUGE bottle just the other day for $13.99 to last me awhile.

Next, if possible, go to a quiet and dimly lit room. If the migraine is occuring mainly on your right side, lay on your left. You don’t want to lay on the affected side as the blood will rush there and make your migraine worse and you’ll feel the increase in throbbing immediately. Not good.

Migraines are often accompanied by nausea. Along with your excedrin, drink plenty of water and eat something carby. This will help reduce the nausea and put the medicine to work even faster.

A cold compress can help as well. In fifteen minutes, the Excedrin should kick in enough that you can sit up straight and think normally again. Good luck. I hate those things!
