Headaches/Migraines
What have you already tried?
Magnesium supplements, but couldn't figure out if they were placebo or not. Tried more sleep but only seems to mask the symptom. I have learned that keto has helped some people in my family but have not tried. Is there anything you would recommend?
Eat sleep and drink water properly was the cure for me.
Eating properly as in eating like the sticky recommends?
stop being moronic and do what this anon said
checked w/trips too
how old are you? what are the triggers?
i used to get migraines pretty terrible, they'd be debilitating for about 12 hrs. they mostly went away post adolescence (i.e. i got them age 17 - 22) and now only get them occasionally. It's stress combined with a bunch of other minor triggers for me, you just have to learn to deal with them. you may as well try tryptans or whatever else your doc will prescribe you.
I had mine maybe as early as 14 until I was around 20 or 21. No one believed me at the time, they all thought I was trying to skip school. My GP only gave me ibuprofen which did not do shit so I was left alone with the pain that usually started from the moment I woke up (sometimes the pain waking me up early), and then basically the entire day with pain. At night it would get a little better and I'd go to bed praying I would wake up without pain. After 21 or so they completely disappeared. Not only the migraines, I never even got a regular headache anymore. I think the most drastic change was a change in diet (since I started cooking for myself, drank less soda and energy drinks) but maybe my stress levels were lower too.
20 in uni and usually to seem to get them after stress, reading, or straining at screens. After I wake up they are generally there but less so.
yeah keep pestering your GP - they'll give you shitty painkillers at first but can eventually try you on some other things that might do nothing
most likely you'll grow out of them though, and you just gotta learn how to deal with them when they happen. i found smashing ice cold water and going, ideally, somewhere cold (outdoors) and dark was about the only hope of aborting one, but for the most part its just a case of getting into a darkened room asap once they start
Don't know which ones you get, I get the ones on one side of the head behind the eye, I find that staying hydrated keeps them at bay somewhat (once they're triggered it's ogre though just lay in your bed and weep)
I run a mile at the onset of every workout and at the end I was sweating salt. I would get migraines about once a week, turns out my body was depleting too much sodium. I started drinking Gatorade in addition to water during the day and no more migraines.
Also limit the amount of sugar you consume, I used to drink coffee and eat a donut for breakfast and my body couldn't process that much sugar so quickly. I'd get migraines and have trouble sleeping and feel irritable all the time so I switched to cereal and no more migraines.
Where is the migraine localised?
Is it frontal, temporal (sides) or rear?
Eye stress/vasopressor substances such as nicotine used to give me bad migraines.
Go see an ophthalmologist, get an eye scan for vascular compromises and reduce substances that constrict your blood vessels bradder.
>confusing and complicating dehydration with some moronic over analysis
just drink water, eat regularly and somewhat healthy and sleep like normal person. You're dr would rather give you the most psychotic meds, triptans, than tell you to stop being a piece of shit to yourself
>t. had migraines since childhood and haven't had them for 5 years except for the few times im a piece of shit to myself
Generally frontal, but sometimes they vary and come from the back. Cheers everyone for your advice
Are you a big barbell shrugger?
They seem to disappear when I don't sit in front of a screen all day dehydrated. Eat well, sleep well, exercise and go out in the sun. That's the cure for me. If I do get them I use ice packs and if I get severe nausea metoclopramide. Ice packs work great. I don't take pain meds as they wreak havoc in your body, they harm your organs and kill your immune system. Avoid them.
had migraines for years, one doctor recommended kinesio taping, my migraine was gone in minutes, that's how i found out my shoulder, neck, jaw and right arm muscles were completely fricked, have been stretching them since then, never got a migraine agaiin
