Migraines?

I've had fibro for nearly a year now, but just recently I've started getting really bad migraines. It starts behind your eyes and goes all the way down the back of your neck. Does anyone else with fibro get these? how do you make it go away?

I get migranes from Vicodin. as a matter of fact if I need to take a Vicodin for pain I take 3 motrin with it. I already know I am going to get a headache! It may just be me. Hugs, Keleee :)

I had a horrible migraine last night. Whenever I get migraines, they usually last 3-5 days, off & on. I'd had a smaller migraine Thursday. I take Maxalt for migraines, but I can only take it if I can afford to lay down & be sleepy. I usually try 3 ibuprofen at first, then depending on what's going on, I'll take a hydrocodone if I still need to function completely, or I take a maxalt. I went to bed last night with an ice pack & a maxalt. I'd already taken the ibuprofen, followed by hydrocodone, and still couldn't get rid of it. I still have a nagging headache today, but it's bearable still.

When I get a really bad migraine I usually try to put ice on the back of my head and close my eyes in a dark room, but if I need meds I usually take Imitrex and that always works for me.

YA, TENSION, OR MIGRAINE HEADACHES GO WITH ALL THE MUSCLES TENSING AND
SPASMS AND POOR CIRCULATION, OR ALLERGIC REACTIONS, TOO!!! AND WIND, COLD, AND DAMP ARE WHAT THE TRADITIONAL CHINESE DOCS SAY, CAUSE MOST ARTHRITIC OR PAIN SYMPTOMS. WIND-->TRAVELLING PAIN; COLD(--> WARM OR HOT TEMPERATURE CHANGES); DAMP--> HEAVY, NUMB, RUBBER, FEELING EVEN TOO COLD FOOD EG. ICE CREAM, HEADACHE, ETC. JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING FROM A LECTURER I HEARD RE: FM/ME.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
