How often do you get them?

What do you usually do about them?

Dear friends,

Start doing meditation/breathing exercises to get rid of these ailments. Half an hour in the morning/afternoon if possible/evening and you will see positive outcome within few days.

I say this from my experience.

For a migrain you have to find out what's causing it.
I used to get em a lot when I would over use my contacts.

To cure, as soon as you feel one coming take your migraine med
or any other pain killer (if another one works for you).

i've been experiencing tension + cluster headaches for past many years , i only use pain killers for that .......... as i'm insomniac as well so sometimes catching up some sleep also helps , or changing my routine like doing some exercise or going out for fun etc.

^ cluster headaches need tension relief.

the person who feels them need to be proactive in understanding what triggers the head aches.

sleep is necessary and no way around it. sleeping pills work only to a certain time and then the body gets sensitized to it.

some suggestions:

work out regularly
eat healthy
drink plenty of water
use a massager machine on neck and head
good light and cool temp and comfortable bedding - mattress and linen
and prayer

I get them 2-3 times a month during summer and what works is black coffee, iboprofen. I also put vicks vapor rub on my forehead and tie a cloth around it for particulary bad migranes and lie in a darkened room. That's what seems to help it and don't forget the black coffee works wondres for me.

my sisters get them....rest and good food is usually the cure along w. maybe tylenol i hate meds cuz thy destroy ur insides...they get them bad so drs prescribed serious med but i guess thats between u and ur doctor.

but i also heard that going to a chiropractor helps! i knew ppl that had them and went to a few sessions and they r gone...id recommend it and go to 2 or 3 and see if that helps?
