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.

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

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

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?

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

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.

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.
