Yeah this happened to ME all the time..... the best things I can do is to take a pain killer, 3 Advil and then lay down in a dark room for some rest / sleep.... which ever comes first.

Mbo..what do you take for these migraines? I have been getting them since I was six years old..loosing eye sight as well..I am not 28..they are horrible..((hugs to you)) its amazing how many people don't really understand how dysfunctional one can become with a migraine..I have been going to doctors for years..been on every kind of medication known to man and nothing seemed to help..up until about a year ago..I was getting these migraines almost once a week..How often do you get them? My employers simply could not understand..they thought I had a simple headache..if you have a migraine you know better right? Anyways..my father in law is a doctor..and he finally stepped in and put me on a experimental drug that is now on the market for Migraines..it is actually a drug for epileptics..it is called Topamax..ever heard of it? well, since I have started taking it..although I still have an occasion migraine (it does not cure the migraines, it makes them happen less often) I now only have them every 6 months or so..they say if you have a migraine as often as twice a month this new drug is good for you..just a suggestion..again..(((Hugs to you))) I know how awful these things are..makes me sick to think about it and how bad you must feel right now..

I've been getting migraines a long time...since I was a kid. Always ended up in the ER several times a week when I was little because I couldn't swallow pills so they had to give me shots.
I'm lucky enough now that I can take Excedrin Migraine for mine. Actually I'm gonna go get some in a little bit because my migraine is killing me right now. I hope you feel better soon!

I used to go to the ER too..but I just got a shot that pretty much either numbed me completely to the world..made me loopy..or knocked me out..and then when it wore off I still had my migraine..so I just quit going..I figured it wasn't worth the money..I saw so many doctors in my day..from regular docs to Neurologists..I even went a saw a faith healer..nothing worked..I took those darn Imitrex shots for years..never worked..saw eye doctors..crap..they got worse over the years..this new drug has been wonders for me..and although it is for epileptics and I am not one..it is now being proven to help for Migraines too..that is why it is said to be experimental..but is now being given out to Migraine patients..I don't know..but maybe since you get them so often per month it might be worth at least talking to your doctor about..I have NO side effects from these pills..not one..although I have lost some weight..but not complaining there..lol..and I no longer can drink alcohol on it..but that is not known side effect..Doctor says that is weird about me..makes me sick to drink..anyways..other than that..I don't even know I take it..

Hi Liv,
Thanks for the info. I've had a migraine every day but once for 2 1/2 weeks. Nothing helps so far, but I will mention the Topomax to the nuero when I see him in 2 weeks. Mel, I hope you feel better! Hugs to both, Jan

Topamax is also used as a psych drug. I've taken it before. I had really bad reactions to it so I had to quit taking it...but if it helps someone's migraines...more power to them!
I got to the pharmacy today and got some Excedrin Migraine (generic brand of it anyways) and I feel much better. I hope yours starts to subside, too.
