Tips for dealing with migraine pain

[lizbud]

I thought I made a thread a few years ago, but I couldn't find it. Anyone have any tips to share about how to deal with migraines?

I've been to a neurologist and the migraine medicine he gave me (Sumatriptan) actually makes them worse. Sometimes if I take enough Alieve early enough (I have a prescription strength) it stops them, but it seems like if that doesn't work, nothing helps.

How do you ease your pain when medication doesn't stop the migraine? Any and all tips welcome!

I have migraines too & they can be horrid. It does take time for the med
to build up in your system before it's really effective. How long have you
been taking your medication?
