I hope you feel better soon.

Hi and welcome to this awesome group! Using a cold washcloth over my eyes, a warm compress on my neck, along with an ice pack I lay down in a very dark bedroom and I set a timer for 2 hours. I rest and try not to do much moving as that would disrupt the flow of the stuff I use. As far as medication goes, no OTC works for me and Ibuprofen has caused 2nd degree kidney damage and Tylenol has led to 2nd degree kidney damage. This community is a wonderful resource made up of superheroes in their quests for pain relief!

A suggestion: if ice actually is painful too, use menthol gels instead. Many burn treatments have menthol, even Selsun Blue Medicated shampoo does. Menthol is a vasodialator. Many migraines begin with constrictions.

For me I need a heating pad. My best friend uses something cold (ice pack, a bag of frozen peas works great).. I take 2 excederin. I wouldn’t survive life without it. Of course stronger when that’s not enough.

Welcome, to the team.😃
