Have you consulted your doctor about this? That sounds pretty serious.

 

I heard that botox is a great cure for persistent migraine and it has been proven effective.

Maxalt is a good medication if you take it right when the headache is starting and not after it is full blown. I'm on atenolol as a beta blocker for my migraines. While it doesn't take them compltely away, it has helped reduced the number of headaches I get.

 

What kind of meds are you on right now?

I think you should find out the root cause of your migraines. All sorts of things can cause them, like how you lay down when you sleep, allergies, food allergies, stress, caffiene withdrawal, eating to much sugar all the time, sitting in front of a tv too long, needing a new glasses prescription.........could be Anything!

 

I used to get terrible daily migraines for 8 months because there was a cyst on my tonsil. I took 4-5 extra strengths every day! Then I had zinc pills and carrot juice (which tamed my tonsilitis and the cyst vanished) no more headaches...

 

Maybe go to the doctor and ask for some suggestions as to what might be causing them.

Also...vision problems and throwing up is very strange. You should go to the doctors. They are only there to help and get you back on track. So you should really go =]

sometimes also a cup of very strong black coffee with lots of sugar can help...old trick from my mom and it has helped me on occasion...but you do need to go see a doctor!

I agree with ToF. I find the best thing for migraines is to try and prevent them, because once they hit you are pretty screwed. Ie, I know my triggers are direct heat or sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

These are very common migraine symptoms. I get them all the time. The vision symptoms, is called the "aura". Only some migraine suffers get aura I believe those with classic migraine.( there are many different types) My son throws up every single migraine he has, this is very common in child suffers. For myself I get very nauseous during a migraine but I do not always throw up.

 

Like people have said you have to find your triggers and avoid them. Some people have a reason for migraines and if you remove the reason sometimes you never get another one. Other people like me they are genetic. My mother has them, I have them, my son has them. So I am never going to NOT get them. I do try to avoid the triggers though. Some of mine are: food sensitivities,weather,certain smells, too little sleep, too much sleep, too much emotion, touching my head, loud noises in my left ear.

 

There are also many different types of migraines and different types of medications and different types of natural remedies and home remedies. Everything works differently for different people. So you really have to experiment in what works for you.
