    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I've started having migraine headaches about 4 years ago. They last 3 to 7 days. I can't go to work majority of the time. Stay in a dark quiet room. One thing that does work at times is put your feet in the bathtub under running hot water with lil cold in it as much as you can stand on and off. It makes the blood flow in your body to your head. Don't use straight hot/hot that would be too much. It works! I've even taken 3 baths to get rid of the worst migraines.

      Treatments

      Caffeine Somewhat Helpful
      Helps at times when I do drink something with caffeine.
      Excedrin Somewhat Helpful
      Once ina while this might work.
      Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
      Tried this too. It works somewhat.
      Tylenol Not Working
