  • usually my migraine does not last more than a couple of hours max and induced vomiting helps somehow but today it lasted for so long that now i feel like i have a permanent throbbing pain on my right frontal lobe:( i will try ice packs next time

  • @devilndisguise666 - I understand, that's no fun. If the migraines are frequent or particularly painful there are treatments that may help. One kind of med you take with the migraine to help reduce the pain phase. Other kinds can be taken to reduce frequency. Best to get a doc experienced with migraine treatment.

  • Oh, and by the way, I find gel cold packs so help, but I need MORE!!!

  • I just found the CEFALY on line and in costso. could be very helpful!

    Thank you for your video! Very well done:) I have suffered for over nearly 40 years and am very hopeful for some life!

  • great videos. I have found that ice on my temple works the best at stopping the migraine. That seems to lend support to the vascular theory rather then chemical though

  • Great video, thank you!
