turn off the computer, and try putting one on the base of your neck too. Michele.

If you need to be sick then do it, i suffer from these types of migraines on a regular basis, and this is what I do.

I try to sleep, If I feel like I need to be sick then I am, no noise at all, a pitch black room if possible helps. I also take panadol.

I really hope you feel better soon.

ultimately go see a chiropractor they do wonders for migrains! If that's not an option massage the back of your neck then wrap a bag of frozen veg in a towel and put it on the back of your neck. That works too (not very well but it does help)

Where abouts in your head is your migraine, I get mine behind one of my eyes.

i know its possible for migrains to be triggered by heat...because i've been there..i came home from karate practice a few hours ago, and we were working really hard tonight..i was wondering..is it possible for the body being overheated to be a trigger, instead of just heat?

deleted_user 04/23/2008

big hugs hon. I wish I could help you. Turn off the computer and try heat on your head. sometimes headaches respond to different temps.

behind the eyes, yeah. ugh =/

Punkee 04/23/2008

not behind one of them..its behind both, and up in my forhead behind my eyebrows as well.

Sweetie get off the computer that is the worst thing for it. I always feel better after I throw up so don't fight it. I know that sounds gross but it is true hope u feel better soon

deleted_user 04/23/2008

It could be the heat, I had a really bad one, a couple of weeks ago and I put it down to the heat as it was out hottest day here. I agree with the others turn the computer off because the light from it wont be helping and try and get some sleep

That sound like a really bad sinus head ache. call your doc. M

Have you spoken to a neurologist about different medications you can take to abort a migraine? It might be worth the effort tomorrow to find one. Good luck! I take Topamax. I don't like it, but it works OK.

Punkee 04/23/2008

it could very well be a mixture of heat and a sinus headache. i've had a cold all weekend. but yea. ok. thanks everyone. youre right, the computers probably not helping.
bed-
night.

Like I said ICE the back of your neck.
