Build your migraine kit, and don't leave home without it. You want three migraine kits. One for home, your car, and your workplace.

So you have migraines/headaches. How many times have you been caught out, and not have one pain pill, and you feel a migraine coming on? Forgot them. Thing of it is, everyone is guilty of forgetting things. But for a migraine sufferer forgetting means pain.

No migraine relief from nausea, maybe vomiting, or just think, there may be a park you could pull in if you were driving, sit and put cold water on your head to help, but you don't even have an ice bag because you didn't make you a migraine kit.

I couldn't even think of all the times my wife would get caught out, and end up having a terrible migraine, and I would have to pull over to the side of the road because she was sick. You know all about it don't you? She never built her a migraine kit.

To solve this problem, and not have to go through this, we have put some thought into your migraines, and put together a migraine kit for you.

Built yourself a personalized migraine kit to be ready should you get a severe headache no matter where you are.

Number one is your treatment strategy.

Make a note as to what has helped you when you have gotten a headache. "My wife even has trouble thinking when she has a severe migraine". When your head is hurting something awful you may even forget some little something that you have done before that eased your pain down.

So write everything down so you will have it at your fingertips. Next, pick something that you can store these items in. Doesn't matter what it is.

First, and foremost put your migraine medicine in it.

And that includes prescribed medicines, or over the counter medicines. And don't forget your medication for nausea. If you don't have medicine for nausea, have your headache doctor write out a prescription.

The symptoms(nausea)of migraines are sometimes as bad as the pain. Make sure you don't keep your medicine in your migraine kit until your migraine medicine expires.

Next, have a bottle of water in your headache kit.

This is in case you become dehydrated (that also triggers migraines) , and also for taking your medicines.

Slip in a cold compress (ice bag)in your migraine kit, which could help your throbbing headache, and also a eye mask to shield your eyes from bright lights. Add your doctors business card just in case you have to call, and ask him something about your headache.

Add a small pillow, which could come in handy for resting.

Buy yourself an iPod or MP3, and have someone, if you can't do it, download some soothing music, if music helps you to relax, and put this in your migraine kit.

Also, make a list of positive ideas so you can talk down your level of stress, and other triggers that you have trouble controlling. Last but not least, print out, and review some relaxing techniques.

An example of this would be breathing slow, and deep, so your body, and mind will slow down. Muscle relaxation that focus on one group of muscles at a time, and also a mental visualization of where you would like to be.

Something you love to do, a place that you enjoy going to.

Also, try to recognized your migraine triggers, or headache triggers.
