Migraine Headaches Support Group

I work with children, (I am a teacher), so I can't escape.
That's why I keep a bottle of pills with me that make me feel good and happy, (vicodin, xanax, muscle relaxers, etc.)
But, now I am getting rebound headaches.

What can I do?
I admitted it to my Neurologist today. he's not happy, and wants me to wean myself.
But it's impossible to work with 8 year olds when you have a Migraine.......

I am in an office with floresent lights and lots of people constantly talking, so there is no where that I can escape to. It is a 20 min walk to my car outside in the heat so I'm sicker by the time I reach the car.

Angee, I used to be a teacher. Now I'm training to be a massage therapist. It's so much more quiet and calm and no bright lights. Good luck to you!

If I have one, I have no choice but to go to my bedroom in the dark with an icepack and sleeping pills. This is the only way I can stand it. I simply can't function when one hits

I hide in bed, my husband makes the bedroom as dark as he can for me, makes sure i have what i need, caffeine, excedrin, or what ever, and makes sure i eat something little with it, also ICE on my head and back of my neck. The wellness cool patches work well too but nothing as good as ice.

yup..i do the same as harmony.
those rebound headaches are a bit$#...its hard to clean out your system.

I am disabled so I crawl into bed. Everyone mentions ice but for me heat works best. I don't like the cold. I simply fill a water bottle about 2/3 and take the air out so it will contour my neck and just try to lay on it. I try to catch them before they get to the point that any touching or movement effects the pain. If that happens, I know it is too late for me.

When I was working, I would find a dark room and hide in there. Now it's off to bed with the covers over my head. If it's really bad, I put on the blinders and the ear plugs.
