Yes, I know that there are serious sun flares right now, and I understand that those of us on earth can be affected by them, what can we do about serious headaches?
I stay hydrated daily then will take Tylenol as I need to.
I am on day 5 of migraine headaches. We have had several storms come through this week. Any ideas appreciated.
In many cases the barometric pressure will set off the migraines. I can't always prevent because we tend to get storms that will come in quick. What I tend to do most of the time is watch the skies.

Hi all
Am new to migraines. Am 42 years old and 3 months ago had first one. I thought I had heart attack. But things didn’t add up cause I didn’t had chest pain nor arm pain. Just slurred speech
Luckily I had morphine left over from kidney stone I had month before migraine attack. But morphine didn’t work. Had to take Advil and Tylenol too. Than I fall a sleep and when I woke up I was just tired but head was fine.
I went to fam doc for something else and at the end I mentioned headache and… read more

Some people have trouble with high histamine foods. Some people get headaches when they eat foods they have an intolerance to.
Please please let me know some names of medications that you have had some success with. I have tried a couple with not much success. I have found that botox works but I am unable to have health benefits at this time. When I did have benefits it was covered and life was not as painful 😓.
Sumatriptan (generic Imitrex) is cheap at Costco and works well for me as a rescue. Currently, gabapentin is helping me a lot for prevention.
I am to the point that I am having to take Imetrex daily just to function. I have tried to go without it but the most I can go is three days before I have to finally give in and take it. I am concerned as to what it may be doing to my heart. I take the "Reddy" brand through CVS which does not seem to work as well as the name brand. Also, each time I take an Imetrex I have to chase it with two Tylenol or Advil.
Hi Kristyl
Sorry to hear about your challenges getting triptans. In the short term yes you can get triptans shipped to you from overseas, but it is a grey area and you have to find a willing shipper… read more
I have a migraine headache starting first thing in the morning every day. Some days the headache is more severe and some days not too bad. Also, some days it resolves by noon and some days lasts all day. Overall, you can see it really interferes with my daily activities activities and just general sense of well being. Nobody wants to have a painful headache all day every day. I have found that I can reliably reduce the pain significantly by taking 2-200 mg Ibuprofen at 4:00 am and 2 high potency… read more
It takes a tool on your liver.. I usually take 2 650 Tylenol daily but it doesn't help on my bad days
I hope you feel better soon.
