Seeking relief from throbbing migraine headaches?You’re not alone !
Migraine headaches usually are described as intense, throbbing or pounding pain that involves one temple. (Sometimes the pain is located in the forehead, around the eye, or at the back of the head). Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, facial pallor, cold hands, cold feet, and sensitivity to light and sound commonly accompany migraine headaches.
Just some stats : Migraine afflicts 28 million Americans, with females suffering more frequently (17%) than males (6%). Missed work and lost productivity from migraine are getting more frequent. Nevertheless, migraine still remains largely underdiagnosed and undertreated. Less than half of individuals with migraine are diagnosed by their doctors.
“Dim lights, silent rooms, watching the weather, medications, watching food triggers are just some of the ways people cope with migraines.

Great ideas to try.
So far a hot shower and sleep has been the only thing that has helped my migraines. I will definitely give your ideas a try.
We often treat migraine as a normal headache where we can take a simple paracetamol to relieve the pain. Migraine is very painful, sometimes, we may feel that we need to crack our head so that we will know what’s really happening inside. I am glad I don’t experience yet heavy migraine, just a headache and my common treatment is to drink water then take a rest.
