migraines
nearly every day for the past two weeks i've had severe migraines. I'm used to getting pretty bad ones, but not for 2 weeks in a row. I know i have to go see a doctor about them, but until then anyone know why this could be happening? Does stress cause migraines? And what can i do to ease the pain a bit? because there's only so much aspirin i can get, and i'm in school so its not like i can just drop everything and go to sleep every time this happens.

you really should go to the doctor. migraines can be symptoms of other things. stress can cause migranes yes. bright light. loud noise. LOTS of things can cause them.. you should talk to your doctor.

you might need to take something stronger, like excedrine. ask a parent first though because its strong. also..stay away from caffiene. it does cause migranes. but.. if you usually go drink alot of caffine..and have recently stopped, you may be getting them because your brain is lacking that caffiene. i know how it feels to be in school and be in pain. get enough sleep, think about taking excedrine, and definitely go to the doctors and see if you can get a prescription.
good luck && feel better! ♥

I agree, see a doctor. They'll probably tell you it's just migraines (but it's best to check that there's no underlying cause)
In the meantime, try a different medication (not at the same time). With my migraines, if I take Tylenol I might as well have swallowed water. Does NOTHING. The only thing that works for me is Advil. So it might be the same thing for you.
Ice also helps. If you have flexible ice packs, like the ones you use on a sprained ankle and such, those work AMAZING. If you're in school, tru gently massaging your temples (slightly above your eyebrows, along the sides of your head) and shielding your eyes from light, if possible. Also drink water if your school allows it.
Best of luck :)

Migraines are really horrible to have to deal with especially if you experience 'cluster migraines', which put simply are several of them in a short space of time.
You are correct you do need to see your doctor about them as there are many causes, stress is one of them, and may need investigation.
I've included a website that gives you more information on what causes them and ideas on how to manage and relieve them.
