Some of mine have lasted this long and longer.. I know you are miserable... If you have taken a triptan , then it's 24 hrs before you can do that again.. usually by now with me. I am throwing up.. I always call my Dr. when that starts.. usually have to get a rescue shot. I hope you feel better soon. God Bless You! Lori

sorry to hear you're not feeling well....

usually, when i get a severe migraine, i just take two Excedrin for Migraines and go to sleep...

i'll sleep for as long as i have to until the headache goes away....4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, and yes even 24 hours...

there really isn't much else to do when you feel THAT bad...so just sleep...

good luck...and I hope your pain goes away sooner rather than later...

Try:

>> A stick-on or (better yet) a moist heating pad to relax any clenched muscles in your neck and back

>> feverfew and ginger, both available OTC

>> caffeine

>> massage

>> a sledgehammer dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine)

Thank you for your ideaas. I am dealing with another migraine I had it all day , It started comming on while I was in church today and I was there from 12:35 pm to 4 :20 pm and I was trying to do my service and classes with a migraine. and it still no better. and now it is 12:28 am Monday morning. I tried calling my Neurologist this past week and no one called me back yet. So now I guess I suffer.

some of the migraines i have will last for several days, when the triptans don't work , i take prednisone 50 mg. for 3 days and that will relieve the pain in about 7 hrs after the 1st dose but i have to take it for 3 days or the pain returns.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
