Can never work out what causes them, go months without and then boom, several in a week. As well as the head pain I sneeze and the gland under my jawline swells up. It's been like this for years.

The period following a migraine is almost as bad as the migraine, I'm exhausted and my limbs go weak and floppy. Really difficult to function at work. Just have to push on through it.

Tried all kinds, triptans work sometimes but not always.

Anyone had any lasting success?

Hi prefab. I have seen articles here on coping with migraines.
Psych Central - Search results for Migraine

I had a coworker that had migraines and I showed her the accupressure point on the hands so you can lightly massage it while you are laying down or sitting up. https://www.google.com/search?ix=aca...graines&ix=aca

The secret is to lightly massage in the webbing between your thumb and index finger until you find a sensitive point. Then focus your attention there for 5 - 10 minutes on each hand using light touch up the point of pleasure and pain, it feels good but it hurts a little. Pressing too hard is counter productive.

If unsure find the point between thumb and forefinger and just do very light massage.

Any questions PM me.

Thanks, I didn't know that about pressure points, I'll give it a go.
