I have gotten to the point when I start to see the first sign I do anything I can to get my thoughts in another direction even if I can't get off the couch. I don't always succeed but I never stop trying. Fresh air if only for a short time while sitting on my porch always seems to help. I also used to get horrible migraines and took a pill called Avert, not cheap but they worked literally in minutes for me. Hope you feel better!
Hi harleychic....Thanks for your thoughts, we need all the ideas we can get, huh? Sorry you've also suffered with migraines. Unfortunately I don't have health insurance any more, so I haven't been able to afford those ridiculously expensive meds for them (even with the discount I get from my pharmacy now, one of the ones I used to take....Maxalt....costs $348.00 for 9 pills!!) I do have RX's for a couple of the less expensive ones, but they're not really working much lately. Oh well....life goes on. Best wishes to you....
