About 2 hours ago I asked if I was going blind and I talked about my eyes and stuff. Well, I said I got a headache after that and it became worse. I layed down and I just woke up and the headache is just as bad. I still feel dizzy, and I feel like I'm going to throw up. Is this what migraines do? I took an Advil and it didnt help at all. Ugh! I feel horrible!
xXAnOn_ChiCkXx answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 11:15 pm: On what side is it hurting because if it is hurting on one side kind of like on your eye or to the side of it. Yes it also makes you throw up, alot. You definitley have migraine. I know it sucks but if you can't get it to go away with advil then you should go to the doctor and ask about imitrex because it has helped my mom alot with her migraines. You could also buy these cold patches that stick on your face and gets really cold it feels really good and helps a whole bunch.
I hope you feel better!
plz rate!

Daisy answered Monday April 25 2005, 5:51 am: I didn't read your first question but yes, your having a migraine. The best thing to do is lie down in a quiet room with the lights off and curtains closed. No music or tv on or anything. It might take a while for the advil to work but after that you should be ok. It's quite scary if you've never had a migraine before but it will get better I promise. [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]
Mackenzie answered Sunday April 24 2005, 11:16 pm: Sounds like a migRaine to me. I suffeR fRom MANY migRaines a week, so I've found a couple ways to ease the pRessuRe. Make shoRe youR haiR is flat on youR head... no up-do's and stuff; they pull youR haiR cuasing tugging on youR skin, which makes it woRse. Also, stay in a QUIET, DARK Room. If you have not yet noticed, migRaines aRe tRicky; theRe's sensitivity to noise, ASWELL AS sensitivity to silence. If you feel just as bad in the daRk as you did in the light, tRy putting on a soothing c.d. *veRy* low, low enough to wheRe you can baRely make out the woRds being said -- that helps me a TON! AnotheR thing, foR many people, they meditate. It pRobably seems silly, but I've tRied it befoRe. [with as many migRaines as I get I'm willing to tRy ANYTHING!] Just sit calmly and take small slow bReaths, while pictuRing a scRibbled on chalk boaRd. PRetend youR headache is the white chalk scRibbles, and pictuRe youRself eRasing away the headache. AfteR saying that, I Realize it DOES seem a tad bit odd and off the wall, but it's completely up to you whetheR the headache is bad enough foR you to ResoRt to that oR not, but give it a chance; no one has to know. ;D And the most IMPORTANT thing to do... apply ***stRong*** pRessuRe to the spot that is pounding, whetheR that be the temple, the side of youR head, the top of youR head, between youR eyes and so on. Apply pRessuRe and hold it down foR about 30 seconds. AfteR that, you will notice an immediate diffeRence. And as foR medicine, I've tRied eveRything!! I've noticed the best medication out theRe is extRa stRength Advil. Now Advil pRoduces a special migRaine Relief pill stRictly foR migRaines, and I've found that it usually does not help me, but sometimes does it just might. All in all, I'd Reccommend sticking to RegulaR extRa stRength Advil. I'm soRRie to heaR you'Re not feeling well, and I wish you luck! Hopefully I've helped heRe. Take caRe, fRom someone who knows EXACTLY what you'Re going thRough!!! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
