I've had migraines all my adult life. hubby can see them in my face before I feel them. I've learned to listen & medicate before the pain. The coralate w/hormones, reading, poor eating, stress, etc. I know people who eat well, exercise, no cafine, & still have them. I use excedrin; works pretty well, not always. I eat, tho, unlike most people; seems to help me usually.

Hemiplegic migraine (with aura)...vision loss, numbness on one side, speech loss, confusion, brain just doesn't work correctly. All stroke symptoms.  Then the pain comes and for me lasts for at least 2 days. It's caused from my inability to make a protein that causes proper nerve conduction in the brain. We are genetically screwed up and there is no cure as of yet :-(

@mariofan4523 Thankfully I've never had to to the ER but looking back at the times I wasn't able to abort a migraine right away and it lasted for days I probably should have. I do keep a cheap generic bottle of Tylenol and tea, coffee, or even a can of Pepsi with caffeine in it on hand in house.. I have also keep a couple of rapid release Tylenols and tiny bottle of 5-hour energy drink in my purse. Once the headach (head PAIN) starts I need to stop it before it gets full blown

[mariofan4523]

@ReviewCam No, your comment is correct. The latest study regarding the many benefits of caffeine is eight ounces of coffee in conjunction with aceteminophen (Tylenol) seems to be a very effective temporary relief for the pain of migraines. Also effective is two or three ibuprofen with coffee, although if you have a history of ulcers, ibuprofen should be avoided, as it's very hard on the stomach. I've had such severe migraines in the past that necessitated a visit to the ER for treament.

I've lived with migraines for about 10 years, and there's NO greater pain. I used to get them about once a month, and now less frequently. In my case, they almost always occur in the same spot in the forehead, as opposed to "cluster" type headaches, which tends to affect the whole head. I also think there's a genetic component, as I remember as a child my father would get migraines usully at the end of a work week, and he suffered in silence, as back then the treatments were limited.

i cannot take ibuprophen... fail spelling maybe..

[PsilocybinDream]

i get migraine auras but they arent associated with a headache at all.

@cowkid57 I use to take Excedrin and developed severe stomach problems from taking it. I also developed rebound headaches and found myself poping them almost everyday. I switched to advil and later Alive and had the same problem. I also found they were not as effective. I now take Imitrex and it works great.
