My mom is always suffering from the pain caused by her migraine. Are there any ways to at least relief the pain besides tablets? She always drinks them but they don’t always work. Any idea would help.

    You could tell her to not go to work and go to sleep and dont bother her.

    The best cure I’ve found for a migraine is this: Take one Excedrin (the kind for migraines), and drink a can of Coca-Cola. It felt like my head popped, and all of the pain was gone. Every other time I’ve had a migraine, I’ve landed in the ER.

    Don’t confuse headaches with migraines. If your mother has been diagnosed by a doctor with migraine, then pain medications have also been discussed. If hers isn’t working, she needs to report this to her doctor. If she hasn’t been diagnosed (self-diagnosing doesn’t count), then she needs to have her headaches evaluated.

    There are many different treatments for migraine. The most important thing to realize is that migraine is a disease and can actually be fatal. Your mom should talk to her doctor and get a referal to a nuerologist. They can come up with a treatment plan and go from there.

    Always remember, any migraine that lasts over 72 hours is considered an emergency and you can have a stroke, so if her migraine lasts longer than that she HAS to go to the ER.

    Good luck and best wishes for your mom.

    Also it is great that you are concerned and asking for help for her, many family members of people who suffer from migraines do not understand.
