How I Treat Chronic Migraines

I've had chronic migraines since I was in the 4th grade. Thanks moms #iykyk

When I was little the recipie to get them to go away was take Motrin and make myself throw up. Throwing up was the only way to truly get relief.

Fortunately they have improved with age. I will share the ways I avoid getting them in another post. But I still get them every month or so and it can absolutely ruin you day. Here's now I manage migraines when I do get them.

# 1 Hydrate & Take Tylenol

I'm now allergic to NSAIDs so medicines like Excedrin are out of the question for me. So when I feel a migraine coming on I down 2 glasses of water and tylenol

# 2 Quiet Dark Room & Head Wrap

Migraines make you hyper sensitive to light and sound. One thing I've found that helps is this yoga headwrap. It covers my ears and eyes to help damped sound and light, and provides gentle pressure that offers some immediate relief.

# 3 Yoga for Migraines

Once I'm starting to feel better, I do some yoga poses for migraine relief. I only do these once the pain starts to lift and I ususally keep the head wrap on.
