as of the above, how to cure migraine? i don't know how it feels actually..asking on behalf of a friend of mine.

I seen somewhere before stating if you suffer from migraine theres no cure...only painkillers work

painkillers? wouldn't it cause side effects? really no cure at all?

painkillers not good for kidney.

dun think got cure.

so painkillers are out of the question... what other ways to "kill off the pain" ?

have more sex. releases tension. ask your friend to relax more....

...not really the answer i was hoping for... but i can accept the relax more part..

usually aspirin works, but only if you dont have pre-existing gastritis...
but there are side effects tho, just like every other medicine

try PANADOL (paracetomol) no side effect pain killer..
the best medication ever.. not even to your stomach..
but plezz not too much panadol or consume panadol with alcohol it might damage your liver.. (and the effect is fatal) u might die.. <-- if too much la..
1 or 2 tablets is okay..
but its best to know why you got the migrain n avoid it..
prevention is better than cure..

Avoid dairy products especially cheese when you feel the pain is coming. Oily food is a no no too. Aromathrerapy using Lavender essential oil helps. During pain, an ice bag will help ease it. Only resort to pain killers or medicines if the pain is really unbearable. I'm taking Ponstante either 250MG or 500MG. And yes, there is no cure for migraine. The only thing to do, is to prevent it from a healthy diet and quality rest time.

ok, aromatherapy is used during the pain time or anytime?

-pick a comfortable sleeping position,
-get a good neck support pillow,
-start to bath from leg and wet other areas upwards,
-take 2 tablespoon of honey in the morning,
-wash face often - not to clean it, but to cool the facial area,
-always prepare a small towel - wet lightly with water and dap lightly on the forehead when it attacks....

...i'll add more if i got some...

there is no cure for migraine, this only cure is if u can't stand the pain, go die.. :S no offense though, u can only minimize the pain and try not to stress alot..

my fren also always got migraine..... anyway to reduce it? she say she will feel better after vomit... is it got any side effect if vomit?

First of, there is no universal cure for migraines.

There are a lot of causes. You should find out the cause first and then use the appropriate remedy. Simply picking one after another out of the whole list is not such a good idea.

You can obviously alleviate the pain by taking pain killers and hope the migraine cease by the time the pain killers wear off. Otherwise consult a doctor. Taking pain killers continuously is not good.

thanks for the input!
btw, how does honey help in this case?

Hmm... Some report says honey does help one to sleep better. So maybe honey can calm you down? Not sure though.

but he said 2 tablespoons in the morning.... or should it be at night? before sleep?

Guess we need hunt2sp to clarify. I also don't know. I only know that when I got insomia or cannot sleep, honey works.
