How long was your longest migraine headache? What other symptoms did you have during it?
I am on Day 5 of a migraine? I did not know they could last this long? I even went to the hospital, they did a ct scan and said it was a migraine. Just worried?

You might be allergic to onions.
They have been known to cause
long “sick headaches,” also called
migraine.
You may be having recurrent migraines. My migraines are really wierd b/c I don’t get a real bad headache, just mild headache. The other symptoms is what bothers me so bad. I get this thing in front of my eyes like I’m looking through broken glass. It lasts for about 30 minutes, then I feel really tired and slightly nauseated. After all that, I get a mild headache. They can last for days or even weeks. Take some OTC Excedrin Migraine or Rx Imitrex or Frova. These Rx meds actually gave me a worse but “different’ headache. Rest in a dark room until it goes away. Hope you feel better soon.
5 days is pretty long for a ‘graine. I would keep pestering them at the GP/Hospital if you aren’t better in a day or two.
weirdly, i have only ever had the “aura” for a migraine never the full-blown thing. By aura, I mean blindness in half your eye, flashing/geometric patterns in front of your eyes, weird colour vision in part of your eye etc. however, my dad was a migraine sufferer and got the auras THEN the headaches/nausea/photophobia package. his longest was about 2 days, most of which was spent lying in a darkened room.
if you’re not already on anti-migraine drugs then you need to investigate these because 5 days is WAY too long to suffer. pain killers will help, but only if you take them right at the start of the migraine. alternatively, try taking the herb feverfew (chrysanthemum parthenium, also known as tanacetum parthenium). two leaves per day will prevent migraines; contains the drug parthenolide which is a great anti-migraine treatment.
I am new to migraines……just started to get them…..I get sickness , cannot keep anything down, and the only thing i do is sleep, blinds down and under that duvet ,even tablets dont help.
We have treated 15 & 20 yrs Migrains.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk with sugar at bed time preferably or meals, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves’ juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
