I get migraine headaches a lot, last week my migraine that lasted 4 days. Four days of feeling like your skull is cracking open. I've been to the doc and i've even had cat scans, nothing is wrong i just get bad migraine headaches but the doc won't perscribe me meds even though perscription strength meds do exist and I believe I should qualify for them.

Do any of you lainons suffer from migraine headaches?
Does anyone know of a good remedy for easing the pain?
As of now a dose of salt and pepper + strong coffee and being in a dark room full of incense smoke helps a ton but it's not always enough. I've had some luck with binural beats designed for pain relief but alas I sometimes get headaches at work and these solutions are not available until I get home.

Currently posting with a migraine, rip proof reading.

Find a different doctor. I went to a neurologist specifically for my migraines and he prescribed a daily medication that worked. I still got migraines but they weren't as severe.

My migraines weren't as bad as yours (they didn't last nearly as long), so generally I just alternated 4x200mg ibuprofen tablets (with a little food) and 2x500mg acetaminophen every 4 hours, then got away from as much light and sound as possible until I either fell asleep or it subsided.

For other lainons or OP if they're feeling better: do you get auras? Are your migraines on one side of the head or everywhere? (I didn't get auras, and mine were bilateral.)

I usually start with a huge blindspot that eventually turns into a hideous flashing aura that starts in my right eye, and keeps moving left through my left eye until it disappears.

I don't really get headaches or light sensitivity, just intense nausea and the feeling that I'm going to faint that doesn't go away until I sleep.

My headaches start one one side of my head and slowly grow into larger pools of pain once turned migraine and will usually be on both sides of my skull. One thing I have noticed is that applying a cold cloth to my migraine area greatly reduces the pain but this is not the case for every migraine.

-Get an allergy test. Standard IgE, as well as IgG and IgA. US Biotek is decent. (Some controversy exists about the applicability of IgG and IgA reactivity testing, but long story short, it solved a lot of my problems. If nothing else, it's a good heuristic.)
-Make sure nothing is wrong with your jaw, teeth alignment, or facial nerves.
-If your diet is a bit on the subpar side, you'd know it. Refine it. Rule out typical triggers. Also, watch out for tomatoes and eggplant.

The above got rid of my migraines almost entirely. I still have things that come episodically and resemble silent migraines, but they're quite rare. It also worked for my father who'd had migraines much worse than me for most of his life, though given the shared environment and genetic makeup it's not too surprising a solution had that overlap.

Good luck. I'm sorry to say, but there are no good migraine solutions that I know of... SSRI / SSNRI / NRI use is common, but taking a mind altering medication constantly is hardly ideal. Triptans are terrible as well, at least in my experience. I only took them twice, and each time it made me feel more sick and did nothing for what I knew was to come. Though some people do have great luck with it.

Hope you can fix it without medication. It can be possible.
