Guest Susan S Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 We have a veteran on the Board who is down with severe migraines. He is in a dark quiet room with ice packs on his neck but still has the throbbing and pressure behind eyes...can't shake it...anyone here have any "home remedies" for migraine pain relief? Suggestions??? --Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I've been suffering with migraines for 30+ years and have been taking Zomig supplied by the VA,it works for me but everyone is different. den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennLea Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Sometimes Caffiene works for migraine sufferers. For me, if I'm out of my meds, I take 600-800 mg of ibuprophen or even 2 Eleve. I'm not suggesting he take anything that I take though - I'm just saying that I do this. Heat packs can help the discomfort. My advice would be to get him to the closest ER and they will help him. Waiting for his doctor's appointment seems wrong when he can get treated by an ER doc - even at a VA (they have immediate care clinic's for patients that need to be seen ASAP) that doesn't have an ER.
