What’s the migraine med you took? And do you have any other wacky migraine cures I can try that my doctors aren’t unhinged enough to suggest

sumatriptan! I talked about it a little more here. but no, unfortunately I have no weird hacks. although, one thing I've been meaning to bring up more is rebound headaches. you probably already know this, so this is more for general awareness-raising, but anyone taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen 15 days or more per month (or 10+ days per month for excedrin) is considered to be at risk for developing medication overuse headaches, also called rebound headaches. rebound headaches are secondary headaches caused by taking pain relievers (and some prescription migraine abortives) too often. once you're in the cycle, it can take months to break out of it. it also makes those medications less effective at relieving pain and can cause you to have more migraines in the first place. oh, and rotating between different OTC meds doesn't make a difference; it's the total number of days per month that matters.in my case, while getting on a beta blocker as a preventative definitely also helped, I strongly suspect part of why I was able to go from headaches every other day in january/february to just a handful of migraine days per month now was that I learned what rebound headaches were, started keeping track of how often I was taking over-the-counter pain relievers, and made a conscious effort to limit them.the first couple of weeks sucked, but I got through it. I can distinguish rebound headaches from migraines by feel; rebounds are a more dull pain that doesn't throb when I try to move, and I found they tended to hit me in the afternoon or evening. so for the migraines, I got a bunch of heating packs, canceled plans, used my PTO, cried and complained a lot, and when I absolutely couldn't avoid it, took the OTC stuff anyway. for the rebound headaches, I drank small amounts of caffeine, cried and complained a lot, and tried to exercise, because even though that's the last thing I want to do when I'm in pain, I figured if the endorphins or whatever are a natural anesthetic for menstrual cramps, it would probably work for this, too. I have no research to back it up, but working out in particular really did seem to help me. I really, really wish they would put a rebound headache warning on OTC pain reliever labels. mine just says not to take it for more than 10 days:since my headaches were more like every other day or every couple of days, I was never taking acetaminophen for 10 straight days. and it says to ask a doctor, but doesn't tell you why, so I figured that was more of a "your problems are probably way above our paygrade and we don't want to get sued" thing rather than a "hey, FYI, taking this too often can trap you in a vicious cycle of pain you'll have to claw your way out of, so really try to limit your use of it, especially if you take it for multiple different kinds of pain throughout the month" warning. at the very least, if I'd known this was a risk, I would've probably gone to the doctor and gotten the migraine diagnosis and preventative meds much sooner

  • 2jack-2jandle said: I have a weird migrane trick which is BEFORE it hits (right before) chug a water, a dr pepper, and a couple advils. Learned it from a buddy. Apparently missing stuff in those things causes migranes or somethin. Idk if it works for chronic migrane sufferers but it sure kicks mine in the teeth
