How to get rid of migraines?
Sorry to hear your story - I've had migraines for years and know how debilitating they can be. Triggers can vary considerably from person to person - but things like chocolate, red wine, aged cheese, strong smells (cigarette smoke / perfume), loud noises, fermented foods and beverages (like beer), artifical sweetners (like nutrasweet), and over-use of pain medication (acetaminophen, opiates, etc) are common triggers. Five headaches in one month is a lot and is impacting the quality of your life. You may want to ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist who specalizes in the treatment of headaches. The neurologist will like perform several tests to diagnose your migraine and insure that something more serious isnt going on. They also will likely offer a 3 step treatment approach... first they will provide a prophylactic medication (something to prevent headaches in the first place), secondly they will often provide options for acute treatment (anti-migraine drugs and medication for nausea), and often they will provide a rescue medication (an opiate or other strong painkiller) - something to avoid the ER, that you can use if your primary treatment fails.

How do i get rid of my migraine?
The past 4 day's ive had this KILLER migraine. and it wont go away. last night i got 14 hours of sleep. that didn't help. I've taken Excedrin for them; 2 a day like the bottle says. but nothing is working. ive gone to the doctor's before for my headaches. and all they've done is given me more meds to take. usually a stronger ibprofine. yet that doesn't do anything. sense I've taken tylenol/ibprofine so much i think im becoming immune to them. Plus on top of that I've had a cold the past week...stuffed nose, nausea, dizziness. Today, i was so dizzy i couldn't walk. i had to sit on the ground with my back against the wall for 5 minutes. Sleep/Meds are cutting it anymore. please helpppp :(
Best way to get rid of a migraine?
To REALLY get rid of migraines without cost or drugs, seeing a therapist, accupuncture, or dosing on caffeine and laying down in the dark for hours with an icepack - the best remedy is to give yourself a form of accupressure (accupuncture without needles). A Shiatsu Migraine Treatment, which you can do yourself, or anyone can learn to do for you if you get simply paralyzed! It takes me about 5 minutes, and it's GONE. You can do it anywhere. You can learn how to do it easily - just search: Instant Migraine Treatment with Shiatsu and you get great resources. I learn best by "seeing", not reading, so try this: http://www.migraineandheadache.com Best wishes!
Which diet should I take to get rid of migraines?
This is such an easy answer, unfortunately, becaise I pretty much got the list from a good neurologist and did a test of exclusion on myself. After that I just memorized what I should stay away from.I can share my list, but everyone is a little different. Do some more research and also see a good neurologist.I stay away from red wines, more than a tablespoon of chocolate or spaghetti sauce, any alcohol other than very small amounts of vodka or scotch, spicy foods, tomato soup, tomato juice, (fresh tomatoes are ok), hard and aged cheeses, and more that are just by habit now. Also foods with nitrisomines, like bacon, sausage, pepperoni, corned beef (groan!), pastrami.I try never to miss a meal and I keep bedtimes about the same. Aerobic exercise is difficult for me. I do not make sweets the last thing I eat at night.This is trial and error. Good luck.

How do I get rid of my migraine quickly?
If you are sure that it's a migraine, this should help. However, if you have low blood pressure, just put an ice pack on your head. This is what you do: Put about 6 or 8 inches of water that is as hot as you can comfortably stand it, in the bathtub or something else you can fit your feet into. Sit on the side of the tub, feet in the water, with an ice pack on your head. Stay like this for 15 minutes or so and get up carefully (see below). Dry off your feet and put on a pair of socks. Lay down and continue to apply ice to your head or the back of your neck. Why it works: Migraines are caused by blood vessels that first contract, then dilate. That's when the pain starts. So the cold makes the vessels in your head constrict and the heat pulls a lot of blood to your feet. You have to be careful when you first stand up after your feet have been in the tub, as so much of your blood volume is in your legs, not in your head and you can faint. Even if you can't do the feet-in-the-water thing, put on socks and apply ice to your head or back of the neck. In addition to the above, you can take 2 tylenol and 2 ibuprophen with a cup of coffee.
