Help! Bad migrane
I have had a headache all afternoon which has now turned into a migraine. I'm dying over here.
Usually the only thing that helps is Excedrine or Advil, but I know those are no-nos. Is there anything I can take?
Tylenol never helps for me, but if I can take it I'll give it a shot!
Thank you

I've gotten a couple so far but I won't take anything. I do an ice pack and sleep. Feel better, I know how awful it is!

Re: Help! Bad migrane
I have been getting really really bad headaches this pregnancy, one of them turned into a migraine. The only thing that works for me is soda because of the caffeine, apparently it helps with the brain swelling. I heard that coffee works too. In fact, I have a bad headache now and just sent DH to CVS to go get me a Dr. Pepper. Works every time for a couple of hours then I need to drink another cup. I know soda isn't the best for you but it makes me feel better than taking drugs and it's not like I'm chugging it. A glass here or there is okay.

Re: Help! Bad migrane
I had one on Sunday. Two tylenol and plenty of fluid plus a nap did the trick. It took about 24 hrs but i finally got rid of it. The pain subsided alost immediately after taking the tylenol. Hth
Eta my fluids consisted of powerade since the migraine made me too nauseous for coffee.

Re: Help! Bad migrane
I get one every two weeks....I head to 7 Eleven and get a big gulp of coke. It either subsides it a bit or if I catch it early enough it goes away! I find that fountain sodas work better for me then bottled/can...dont knwo why?? Worth a shot for the $1!
