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.

Acupuncture ... traditional physician.

Don't rely too much on Western drugs.

complementary medicine sometimes not work..
lots of not tested properly.. quality control and stuff...

hmm.. but drugs can has adverse effect too.

OK... That is something new. Wonder how metal will react to honey. Hmm...

update: Can't find any info on the reaction between metal and honey. Anybody?

honey does help me when i am migraine
if there is no honey nearby ice cream works for me as well
not too much 1 to 2tablespoon of honey will be sufficient
or 1 scoop of ice cream

has it occur to you it's the sugar?

i am not sure
but every time i had migraine i will take honey or ice cream lo
eventually i will feel better in 10-20 mins after consumed

So fast? Works even faster than painkillers. For me, even painkillers will take at least 45 minutes to come into effect.

sugar is the body's first choice of energy source...
so of cos it's fast.

when you get admitted to hospital, they drip you with glucose also wurt...
that's what keeps you alive even when you're not eating.

i dun consume pain killers
even panadol
it can make me sleep 1 whole day even i take 1tablet

maybe thats why la
i am not sure either

so 2 tablespoons of honey in the morning and night on a plastic or wooden spoon eh? hope it helps . take it on daily basis or ..erm, when the attack is on?

100 Plus?? It works for me

best is practice everyday lo
dosent mean on wood , plastic or metal as long as u eat can already
normally i eat when there is attack
i am super bz no time to go prepare

eating so much of honey daily won't cause diabetes?

no one ask u to get artificial honey tat was make by sugar n honey extract
get 100% pure honey
100% of pure honey is okay if u eat 4 tablespoon per day
it wont cause u diabetes unlike breveges like coke and pepsi
honey is good for health
and most important is drink enough of water
sometime lack of water in ur body system will make u dun feel well as well

Listen to this guy. Prevention is better than cure.

But occasionally they will come to bother you. What I do is, when the I get the vision blur ( early sign of migrain is coming) I would take 1 pill of Ponstan, then I would take another pill after 30 min or when the pain started to kick in.

That was what I did when the attacks were unbearable few years back, now the pain not as nasty like it did(still annoying thou). Now, I only take 1 pill if I really needed it. Its really easy to get painkiller from clinics, just say you have migrain and have been taking it previously, pay the sum and go.

Next time I want to try honey and Ice cream as well.

Even if I know migraine is coming, I won't take Ponstan. I try not to resort to painkillers. Will try more "natural" ways in trying to cope with it, like ice bag, sleep, etc... Unless really cannot take it already, only will I pop in a Ponstant 500MG.

i rather take it by eating something more health conscious den take pain killer

yea...i puke a lot durin migraine attacks...painkillers won't work at all because i will puke it out after a few minutes... the only thing that can make me feel better is to sleep....there's no serious side effects after vomit le....i'm still ok...lol

just have enough sleep n drink lots of water....

This post has been edited by mumuz: Jun 8 2007, 08:48 PM

ic..... thanks.... btw, does honey do anmy good for u? thinkin wanna buy her some pure honey... but dsamn, too many kind of pure honey leh....

lowyat82, the thing is...if she is having migraine, n she is the vomity kind like me, nothing works...whatever goes in will comes out in minutes...lol....i've tried even teh halia (an indian aunty told me its effective...) but i still have to rush to the toilet 10 mins later...

improper sitting and sleeping posture will cause migraine too...
As for me i try to get my neck massaged and take painkiller then go sleep. Relieving the blood flow my massaging the vessels help

actually when the migraine hits you, nothing actually works...you just have to let it run it's course

the trick is prevention, or at least reduction of symtpoms - you know when it is gonna hit you - so quickly pop some effective painkillers or anti-migraine meds, then at least it won't be so bad

and if you know what triggers off the migraines, try and avoid it at all costs

wa.... then how????? y some people got migraine and some people dun???? then all her life also need to live wit migraine????

but i thnk she not always vomit, but after vomit, she sure feel lot lot better....

lowyat82: i'm not to sure y some ppl suffer from migraine n some don't...if i'm not mistaken, heredity is on of the factors...
i got it when i was very very young...i used to tell my mom my head hurts when i was like 6 but they would never believe me...haha...
anywayz, like what others say just try to prevent it cuz there's really no cure...some things trigger migraine, so she has to know herself....

Migraine is different from normal headaches. For people who don't suffer migraines, it's very difficult for them to understand the pain. So if the pain is too severed, it might be helpful to go the doctor for advice and better, for a scan. Will never know what's in the head.

i used to have migraine when i was small..till now even.but on lesser occasion now.normally i'll take chocolates...esp dark chocolates..cuz, dark chocolates will induce the release of dopamine,a kind of hormone to ease the pain.or i'll take ice-cream.havent tried the honey trick b4...does it really work?

so whats the major diff of migraine and giddiness / headache

in a short analogy i can say a minor headache normally will occur for about 30 minutes average, with a lower level of pain and felt all around ur head..

migraine instead, is a 3-4 hours of pain, felt in that 30 minutes time, all at once, at its own specific attack-areas...and sometimes u wish that u can prick a big hole in ur head to release out the pain or open up ur skull...

i can equally refer to the scene of Brandon Lee's "The Crow" in the ending fighting scene, where he grasp the bad guy's head and let that guy feel the 3 hours of pain, all at once....

maybe u could try pop in 2 panadols and eat something, then drink lots of water. it might be caused by dehydration. and ive learnt about some massages but i cant exactly explain it here where u can press on the pressure points behind ur head and ur back... u could try google it or ask some pros

but then...even sumtimes the massage dun really work.the pain just keep coming.sometimes i woul dhave migraine at the back of my neck..and wat i would do is keep on hitting it wif my fist...haha.

honey does works
i do take chocolate & ice cream
can say i take all sweet stuff

do more exercise.. because ur hormon not stabil.. hmm.. dulu i pun sering migrain.. then doc prefer i diet n exercise more.. mgrain ni sebab pemakanan n stress juga.. so.. u kena think what is the best for ur self...

try to use hair dryer on yr head
coz the heat will reduce yr migrane

this info i read from magazine

you may want to try out xango. PM me if u want more info..

Stop staring at the computer monitor so much

I used to suffer massive headaches (not sure whether they're migraines or not), turns out I just needed new glasses

Figure out what's causing the migraine attacks, stop it there. This isn't always possible as triggers such as stress are sometimes unavoidable in life. People who say, "don't take pain killers, they're bad for you" have probably never had a bad migraine attack.

There are preventive medications which reduce the severity and frequency of the attacks, they didn't work for me but I know many who have had good results from the meds.

hi guys ..
have enough rest + drinks a lot

hi guys,

i used 2 suffer from migraine 2 yrs ago, i cant stand very stressful environment or from cold to hot places or vice versa...this will cause me 2 feel a bit giddy then some head pain and then puke...

migraine is mainly related to stress and mind u not only work stress... anything that stresses up ur body...from work, noise, light, weather etc... d best way to get rid of migraine is by having a good blood flow especially around ur neck and brain area....

i've been taking a supplement that has has actually helped my migraine of 2yrs and now 'touch wood' i've never had a migraine attack since last july2006!

CHEERS!

Hi gal, I myself suffer from migraine for many years, doctors told me there's no cure. But recently I was told by my Yoga teacher that a breathing technique (a practice) can cure migraine, it's called Kapalabhati.

For more details, you can visit this site: http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/yoga-and-health...or-migraine.asp

And since I started Yoga, the occurance of migraine on me has cut down.

Hope that helps.

go for acupuncture. may help in their own way......

I use Osim u-crown,help to reduce little bit.

To help the person, need to know a few information:-
1. Can I know is that person male or Female?
2. Age?
3. Does the migrane happen at I side of the head or chage location at time?
4. Does the person take food like "timun", "Salted Vegetable", etc...

I used to hv migraine last time, when I was younger, but I got out of it. Now sometimes hv occasional headache, but nowhere near the pain last time..
I guess you will need to determine, each time when migraine arises, is there any cause? (eg: stress, under the sun too long etc). If so, try to avoid the cause. But then again, I doubt there's a universal cure. Hopefully your friend will just get out of it one day. Meanwhile, try to prevent doing things that will give cause headache, even minors one.

Does your friend consume coffee a lot? My migraine reduced a lot after i stop drinking coffee. Please not even a sip!!! I tested and triggered my migraine badly..

Do Tai-Chi

yoga do help me in migraine, maybe you can have a try.

Hmm how do we tell if its migrane or not? Lately i always having a headaches and pains right around my eyebrows area. Cant think, cant sleep, dunno what happens to me. Is this migrane? Even if i close my eyes it wont go away. This happens like everyday. When i wakes up in d morning i feel tired, and headache.. After took my shower then only it reduced a bit.

Sometimes toothache can cause this similar problem.. I never experience migraine everyday, the worst i had is only 3 days continuosly.

you can try Vasograin tablet (im trying it now)
my dad bought from India but here cost roughly rm16-20 (30 tablet).
but ok,you will feel drosy,but its effective.

Its India manufacturer but you can get it at Pharmancy or any reputable Clinics.

Some to prove : http://www.google.com.my/#hl=en&biw=1024&b...b0ea66d860d098c

Maybe you can consider to take nutrition supplement by Nutrilite.

My friend do have migraine too, then I advice her to take nutrition supplement, as our body need nutrition to works and repair/replace bad cells in our body.
After few months, she thanks me and said the migraine never come back to her.

I personally also take this nutrition supplement, and it give me back my health.
It is a good thing to share.

This nutrition supplement provide us all the nutrition needed by our body daily, and it has 75 years of history in researching health and nutrition.

For more information, you can google around and do a research about it.

Actually, migrane can be tackles, it takes quite a while.

1. Does this happen to a male or female?
2. Which part of the head does the migrane happen?
3. Does it move from 1 location to another?


I've recommend something to one of my female friend and after taking for quite sometime, her migrane become better.

migraine scuks big time..

thank god, i got it only during school time..
i still remember the pain..its like whole body got paralyzed
cant stop feeling like your head gonna explode

try practice healthy life by playing sports and eat healthy food..
works for me..

I suffered migraine attack and it has been three weeks now. The last time i suffered from migraine attack was in 2009/2010.

Doctor prescribe me with cafergot and ponstant. But for me cafergot works while ponstant i barely feel any difference in reducing the pain.

I would like to know which supplement do you take in helping out with migraine? Please recommend.

In addition i would like to seek for any traditional remedial for migraine. Or perhaps any herbal that could help stop this migraine?

try to do some yoga, meditation could helps oso.

I don't know how migraine feels like but as far as i remember my Clinical instructor used to say it needs warm compress,pain killers and rest.

Take something that is 100% natural because it has no side effects.

From the information I have gathered all these while on migrain be it from books, internet or medical practitioners, there is no cure for migraine.
What one can do is prevent it from happening, and if you have migraine attack, how to alleviate the pain so you can still function normally.

Important thing is to find the cause of your migraine attack. Not everyone is the same, but the most common cause will be stress.

I for one also suffer from migraine. I'm fortunate that I have pinpoint out the cause of my attack, lack of rest/sleep and stress.
Lack of rest/sleep can be settled easily, just have to manage my time better but stress is another issue.

Ever since I moved down to work in KL last year, I have suffered 3 attacks and with this 3, the pain is so intense I puke.
It never happen before when I get migraine attack.

Haih...

As for me i could tell that lack of excersise and over eating might be the cause. I love curry and all the spicy food. Not to mention i live in pearl of the orient and this is food paradise. Too difficult not to over eat. I dont feel any migraine for the last two days except for today i got the attack. And just last night i had supper of two burgers. And the next morning i suffer the attack.

Will give it a try. From internet i read about feverfew and riboflavin that is good to reduce migraine attack. But i dont know about the price and where to get it

To overcome migraine, visit www.goodmigrainetreatment.com.
Watch the testimonials part.

IMO migraine is just a symptom . Most probably your friend don't drink enough plain water and his body is in the state of dehydration . Cure : drink plenty of plain water everyday .

.

Drink more water, avoid caffeinated drinks, sleep early.

The most important is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I once bought an app that said can cure migraine by only using my handphone sound. Wtf was i thinking????

1. propanolol
2. amitriptilline
3. flunarizine

if only drinking water can cure migrain.

Try triptans eg sumatriptan. It's the only drug that is specifically for abortion of migraine. It's not a painkiller and it has minimal side effect.
I've been suffering from migraine for many years...painkillers hv no more effects on me but luckily discovered this new drug...eh it's not actually new coz there r already generic in the market. Ori brand like imigram cost around rm14 a tab!

anything with wrong dosage has side effects, hence there is no such things as no side effects.

Sumatriptan does not prevent migrain. What you need is prophylaxis against migrain.

1 propanolol
2. amitriptilline
3. flunarizine.

I will see zip zap lights and blind spot in the eyes 20min before the pain comes, if I take the above prophylaxis upon seeing the zipzap lights, do you reckon it will prevent the pain and abort the migraine ?

U are having aura, typical of migraine attacks. Yes u might benefit from either of the drugs.

Are there any commercial name for these drugs ? For instance Panadol for paracetamol.

There are many commercial name for the drugs, each different depending on the drug company releasing it. What matters is the name of the drug, not the brand.

sleep always feel much better than relying on medicine actually..

exercise more and take up yoga and meditation class? hmmm

http://www.baizigui.com.my/qiang-qi-ling-capsule.html

Hey all, I like to ask if any of you have experience in trying this product before ? does it help or any side effect?

me n my cousin have really bad migraine. caffeine from coffee seems to help. have u tried drinking 2 cups of coffee every day for 1 week? also some migraine medication has caffeine in it.

Yeap, I tried it does reduced. But I can't take much as I couldn't sleep for that night . So have to rely on medicine -.-

Exercise will help a migraine sufferer withstand and deal with the problem but don't cure the problem.

My migraine got better after seeing a chiropractor. Migraine can be caused by many things you just have to find out what it yours. Mine is due to spine issue.
