Migraines because of COVID? - Helpful Tips and Tricks (In Comment Section) 👇👇👇

[@Wasjigcrmso35]

I'm on propanaol 30mg 2-3 day for migraines prevention. Zolotriptan 2.5 mg for actual start of migraine it takes 30mins to kick in. I'm also on Prochlorperazine 5mg for my dizziness. You do need to inform your doctor of any changes Covid would change your migraines I hope you get sorted soon 😊❤️

[@TheRawLife1]

I haven't heard of those medication, I will forsure look them up and talk to my doctors about this.

I deal with migraine everyday do to spine fluid putting on my brain (hydrocephalus). I have learned that lavender oil behind the ears can help. I also take gabapentin for pain that medicine definitely helps with pain. I would say also take naps, they definitely help. Journal when you get a migraine so when your doctor say how often you get it. You can tell the doctor. Sending my prayers your way.

Janiece I have had 3 brain surgeries, so I understand vestibular ,balance issues, and I have migraines, I get it.I understand invisible illnesses as well. Even though I currently and will use a cane or a walker going forward, for years, since birth, I have had a disability. No one could tell because the scars are hidden beneath my clothes. I was bullied as a child so I understand that too. If I ever met you in person I could look at you and say I understand some of what you are going through. Chronic pain warrior. It's just my life, my motto is and has been for awhile, I am upright and moving forward. My neurosurgeon prescribed Topimate for me I don't usually recommend medication to anyone else but ask your doctor if it might help you I don't know if it will or not but ask. I hope that you feel better soon and find a solution to your pain problems.

[@TheRawLife1]

I'm sorry you have gone through so much, I'm glad you sound like you have a handle on things

[@kristieangel5682]

I know this sounds crazy but Pepcid and Zofran works for mine. I get ocular migraines. I just chew a couple of Pepcid’s and pop a Zofran turn the lights out with a cold rag and it slowly eases off. I don’t know what it is about that cocktail and it may not work for you, but I just wanted to throw that at you. Feel better soon! praying for you.❤

[@BloodKemo]

All the rescue medications failed on me… they had more side effects than just sticking with the migraine… and then the injections I was prescribed made my hair fall out…. I have heard some people say increasing electrolytes and hydration is a major factor. I have pretty much given up on finding migraine relief… for me, personally sleep, salt and caffeine surprisingly have been the most proven things to aid my migraines. But I my system is very atypical.

[@TheRawLife1]

Wow, im sorry for the resuce meds did not really work! Keep trying to help fins thar solution.

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

I take 2000mg zero-filler acetaminophen and 800mg ibuprofen (both together) however many times it takes to get rid of the headache, plus the fact that I figured out what's actually causing mine in the first place (for me, it was a chronically subluxed shoulder that rebelled every time there was pressure on it and also caused extreme strain through my back, shoulder, and neck) and remedying that cause. I will note that I can count on 1 hand the number of times the headache part of the migraine (the most disabling part for me) has lasted into the next day - for me, a good night's sleep gets rid of the headache 99.9% of the time. Caffeine in any form only makes things worse for me, so that's not one of my options.

[@TheRawLife1]

That is a very high dose of Tylenol! Sleep is always good but with a clingy 2 year old I doubt I'll be able to sleep much lolc

[@kikimcyoloswaggy]

Mines 600g ibuprofen, 6mg prochlorperazine, topiramate as my preventative, nasal sumatriptan, McDonald’s fries (😅😂), caffeine and try and sleep it all off.

[@kittenpetals]

My mum gets an injection of emgality once every month, it’s a migraine preventative. It’s helped lessen the frequency of her migraines!

[@TheRawLife1]

I really need to go see a Neurologist to see what I can be put on. I need it forsure.

[@compgirl6882]

For prevention: 2000 mg magnesium and nadodal (blood pressure)

[@TheRawLife1]

I know magnesium is over the counter, but what about that other medication?

[@compgirl6882]

@@TheRawLife1 Nadadol is a prescription blood pressure med. I use it for both blood pressure and migraine prevention. I have also done Botox and Emgality

[@thewisepowerchair2369]

I hope your migraine passes soon, Janeice.

[@TheRawLife1]

Thank you 💚👍

[@kerribirdsall2311]

Ajovy as a monthly preventative injection and frovatriptan as an abortive. I was on Aimovig but it stopped working.

[@TheRawLife1]

I don't know what I'll need exactly but I'll soon goto a neurologist.

[@alivia1012]

Maxalt rest a lot of water and ice packs is my go to❤ feel better. We are all rooting for you.

[@TheRawLife1]

A nice ice pack is my best friend

[@jessicahoff0109]

I use a medical device called “alpha stim” along with a red strain of kratom. Only things that help. Also if theirs a max living chiropractor near you I highly reccomend going. Me and the kids go weekly, different than typical chiropractors for sure.

[@jessicahoff0109]

There’s*

[@TheRawLife1]

Thank you for sharing, I'll look that up for sure.

[@lalabyelulu4021]

I used to get the aura migraines a few times a year. I would lose vision, one side of my face went numb, very painful and scary and pain lasted all day. Ice packs, dark room, quietness,😊 caffeine helped but the only thing that cured it was cutting out sugar and carbs.

[@TheRawLife1]

Yeah Paul freaks out when I tell him that I'm losing vision and getting pain cause it's a scary thing to go through lol

[@ServiceDogRosie]

Hey Janiece, I also am in a similar boat with migraines from covid. I have had it twice prior and currently. I can't ditch the eye pain and pressure, migraine, ear pain and my head feels like a bowling ball. I have to go get more test kita.. I hope it soon gets better soon for the both of us... The only med that had helped is amovig and fieorcet with codiene. It's hard to find though. Sending you though and we'll wiahes

[@VulcanOnWheels]

I do hope you'll feel better soon, if not already.

[@louisemacdonald9345]

Thank you💖💖

Hang in there

[@annetteslife]

Good morning. For me I lay or sit in complete darkness with black coffee with no noise

[@TheRawLife1]

The darkness helps just with a 2 year old it's not possible some times

[@shannonbannanie4370]

I have a script for maxalt... Which sometimes works, if it catch it right in the beginning stages. Other times it's robaxacet and Advil that works. Add in a Gravol to that (not sure what the American equivalent is). Feel better soon.

[@TheRawLife1]

Great advice

[@paulabailey9791]

Thankfully I don't have migraines. I've heard that a combination of caffeine and medicine like Tylenol could help some people. Maybe strong tea?

[@TheRawLife1]

Good idea!

Rescue medications

[@lucindalevair9737]

Q10 and magnesium

[@TheRawLife1]

👍👍

[@susanlevine779]

There are a lot of new migraine medications. I think your neurologist could provide something for you so you don't have to suffer.

[@TheRawLife1]

Your definitely right

[@lucindalevair9737]

Marcaine injection in neck and scalp

[@TheRawLife1]

I'm assuming the injection you can get at a Neurologist?

[@klynch7912]

Excedrine and if that doesn’t work nurtec

[@TheRawLife1]

I’ve been told I couldn’t take excederin e because of the caffeine which effects my narcolepsy but I know it works well for others 👍
