Little tips add up
Sometimes just a few seconds of relief can make a big difference. Many of the tips you hear about don’t help everyone, or don’t help for long, but may help a little.
I just heard this tip from Terri from the USA. Here’s what she had to say:
Accidentally found a method that temporarily (at least) relieves some of the pain of my migraine (does not take away the headache) I apply pressure to the bottom of my nose…the piece of cartilage where the nose attaches to the face at the bottom. A steady upward pressure and the pain in my eye goes away…as long as I’m pressing…obviously not a practical long term solution…but just to feel some relief…a break from the pain…helps. Hope it helps someone else.
Actually, it does seem to work, at least a little. Thanks for the tip, Terri!

Don’t know how many people know about Sinus Buster– -it’s all natural hot pepper spray for your nose. Which I know sounds horrible. But once you get over the initial reaction to it, it really helps alleviate some pain. Especially if it’s pain above or around your eyes. You can use it as much as needed. It’s especially helpful when I wake up with a migraine. Hope this helps someone else, too!

I found this out by accident and then did a “trial and error” – I swear by it. It seems it is NOT the caffeine (it causes a migraine for me) but an “element” from the region of Indonesia. I drink a cup (not a mug) of hot Sumatra coffee from Starbucks taken with Advil Liqui-gels. You can use Tylenol, Motrin, or other medication, but I find this combination works the best. It really takes the edge off both the pain and the crippling aura. I also use Migraine Cooling Patches by WellPatch. I hope this really helps someone 🙂 *Note, I DO not work or endorse either company…it’s just what works for me!

I like to use those methol pain patches. I cut a slice to put across my forehead, and one for down the side of my head, and one on my neck. It only sticks where there is no hair. It’s not lovely for public use, but helps at home. This just takes the edge off the pain to make it more tolerable while I am waiting for other pain killers to help. Also found that a pain patch across my stomach helps decrease nausea. A heating pad on my stomach also helps with decreasing nausea.
