Migraine Pain Relief....Let's Find It..

Migraine pain relief. That's a hard one to answer. Finding what's triggering a migraine is the fastest way to have migraine relief. And in migraines that's the $64,000.00 question.

Migraine sufferers just want to get rid of the pain, and a trip to the doctor may do that. Most doctors will prescribe pain killers, and even preventive medicine to cope. That may just do the trick.

What if that doesn't help?

Here's where you take control. Start reading, anything, and everything you can, to find more info about migraines. Of course we have the info in here, but most Internet surfers only catch three or four pages in any site, then move on. You want info you can turn the pages on. Also, if you're not a chronic daily headache sufferer, write down what you do each day, what you eat, all of your activities. A diary will help, we have a printable one at the bottom of this page.

Your doctor may have one he'll give you. Put a hundred percent on finding what may be your migraine source. Doctors prescribe the medicine, but beyond that, don't expect miracles from their info.

A few ways for migraine pain relief could be from herbs for migraines, others may have to use drugs for migraine pain relief, and even home remedies may work for others.

If we were to list all of the triggers, or causes that could give you a migraine, you would read until you got bored or went to sleep.

And migraine relief would come in different ways for many, according to what triggered it. First we have to ask, do you have any idea what makes your head hurt, or triggers an attack?

Monthly migraine attacks for women, eating or drinking something that triggers an attack for men, and women , sound, bright lights, and even alcohol can trigger a migraine attack, the list is enlist. First, before we give some ways to help migraine pain, it's so much better to try to narrow down what triggers an attack than to have to treat the migraine pain after one starts.

Or better yet, peck away at your migraines by engaging in everything that is migraine healthy instead of something that is a well known migraine trigger. I dig that. Our home page has a small piece about a woman (that e-mailed) that knew drinking triggered her migraines, then went out, and did what? You guessed it.

For instance, would you be more likely to trigger a migraine if you listen to quite, soft music, or to loud music? How about a drink of red wine or a glass of water? Stressed out, or fully relaxed? See where I'm going? Treat your headaches like you would a baby, take extra care of them, and think about what you can do for that head.

There may be no total cure for migraines but there are many things you can do to stop your migraines before they start, or at least stop your migraine pain. We'll start with a migraine in progress to help you find relief.

We know that many migraine sufferers have severe attacks that render them incapable of doing anything. When you get a migraine like this, in order to have migraine pain relief you will probably have to have something such as a Triptan.

Most know about this drug, but it will surprised you as to how many just suffer, they either haven't heard of triptans or self treat their painful migraines with a couple of Tylenol.

Some migraine sufferers have migraines several times a week, and for others only a few a year.

For you guys that have severe migraines, and don't take Imitrex, ask your doctor to prescribe them for you when you just have to have pain relief. If you have severe or frequent migraines, most likely you're going to a doctor. And he/she will know what to prescribe for your pain.

But go sparely on the pain relief. Many migraine sufferers end up with worst migraines after they take to much pain medicine, than if they hadn't taken any at all. Rebound headaches aren't pretty and nice, they're just nasty, and painful.


If you feel a migraine starting, try an Advil, or an Advil Migraine, and drink a soda, or a cup of coffee. This has been known to abort a migraine.

Caution on taking to much analgesic medication. Taking pain medicine to often will make your head worst. You just can't take pain medicine everyday, or you'll run the risk of chronic daily headaches.

Try natural migraine pain relief through nonmedical procedures!!!!!

Try stress reduction, exercise regularly, and eliminate food triggers. Also drink lots of water, and eat small frequent meals so you won't have a drop in blood sugar. Don't eat a big meal, and then go all day before you eat again.

Migraine pain relief with the true and tested herbs, and vitamins!!

It's been known that headaches and migraines have been helped for hundreds of years with feverfew, and butterbur. Also Riboflavin or(B2), niacin, and even the mineral magnesium plays an important role in the management of migraine relief.

If used for several months can bring significant headache pain relief for many migraine sufferers. If you haven't tried any of the herbs, vitamins, and minerals, give them a chance, all are doctor recommended.

The Physicians Health Study in the United States, and the British Male Doctors research in the United Kingdom showed that small amounts of aspirin (every other day)could lower the risk of migraine attacks by twenty to thirty percent. A baby aspirin a day could do the trick. Now this is used as a preventive, not as a treatment. The reason behind this is that small doses of aspirin may effect serotonin. Serotonin plays an important role in the evolution of migraines.

Some home remedies for migraine pain relief!!

Have you heard of the Ice pillow? It's a horseshoe shaped collar containing a gel pack. If you wrap it around your head at the first start of a migraine, it's claimed to be quite effective. Also buckwheat pillows have been found to help headaches stemming from the neck.

Also, Ginger has been found to be useful in the treatment of migraine pain relief, (sickness) without any of the side effects that occur with standard treatments.


Our summery on migraine pain relief is!!!

Instead of abusing your head, baby it. Learn all of the triggers that can give you migraines first of all. Eliminate anything that you have control over.

And don't slip up on this like the woman on our home page did.

She knew what her trigger was, but gave in and had to be taken to the ER with a terrible migraine.

Sit, and read a couple of migraine books. You can buy two for twenty bucks or so, and learn so much from them. Many of the authors are migraine sufferers themselves.

Looking ahead to two or three months down the road you may have migraine relief if you invest in vitamins, and herbs that we discussed above.

I'm sure that many migraine sufferers only believe that pain pills, and prescription drugs are the only way to head off migraine pain. If it works then great, but if it doesn't, than the steps to migraine pain relief may be left up to you.

Good luck with your migraine relief.
