How to Kill a Migraine

Posted by amy in News

You know when you are reaching for your sunglasses inside, the music down the street in someone’s headphones is ridiculously loud and you feel nauseous as hell, that you have a migraine coming on. This is where I found myself earlier this afternoon and when I reached for my migraine pills, I didn’t have any. Well shit. So this is what I did to at least get the migraine downgraded to a headache.

Eat a healthy snack.

Have a cup of hot caffeinated tea.

Take a couple of ibuprofens.

Take a nap in the darkest, quietest corner in the house.

Whine about my head hurting.

Take a HOT HOT shower in the dark.

Massage head – sinus, temples, etc.

After all this and about 3 hours, I felt a little bit better. This sadly seemed like a huge victory but it has me wondering what everyone else does to fight a migraine or really, really, ridiculously bad headache.
