Well—I have a migraine today :sigh: One I have attempted to get rid of ALL day long! And before I went to lay back down, I wanted to share with you some of the headwraps I use during migraines.
Let’s get to some pics!
I also use my triptans like Frova (takes longer to work but also lasts longer) and Relpax is my go to since it works quickly and takes my migraines away pretty much entirely.
Remember: Triptans are abortives so you want to take them at the first sign of migraine, preferably before pain even begins! The best way to learn what your migraine triggers and prodromes are, is to create a headache diary and write down all headache symptoms (even those that aren’t painful such as sensitivity to light & sound; also mood changes before a migraine are common like feeling down and even large bursts of energy–you may feel extra creative or productive! Some migraine sufferers, like myself, get auras before and during a migraine–note: you may get auras without having any headache pain and although odd it’s much better than pain–these include smelling things that aren’t there (I’ve smelled bacon, popcorn, metallic things, so it varies) hearing bells, ears ringing (I get this all the time) seeing flashing lights & many more).
It’s important to take your triptan when you have an aura because you never know if you’ll just have auras or the full blown migraine.
Hopefully this has been of some help, and that you’re all celebrating this month migraine-free!
