Herbert's migraines are actually the demons in his head reacting adversely to the pathetic blather Herbert publishes.

You have to be one of the rudest, most annoying eff-wits that I have ever seen on these Forums.

Why don't you just ring 13 11 14 and get yourself sorted out.

Is that Neferti's free abuse line?

It didn't work for Neferti. It made her worse.

I presume you mean your migraine is back herb.. sorry to hear that sounds awful...I wish you well.

Thanks, codsey - it's par for the course. I slept for 3.5 hours and then woke up with the Grandmother of all headaches, which I still have. There are headaches, and then there are headaches. This one is almost as bad as a kidney stone.

The Paracetamol has done absolutely sweet bugger-all, and I'm about to take an Endone for some temporary relief.

You need to get a good quality pillow Herbert. I used to wake up most mornings with a terrible headache and backache until I bought a good quality latex pillow. It was about $100 at the time - some of them are more expensive, but the difference it made was incredible.

When your head and neck are aligned properly while you're asleep - you will stop getting headaches.

That sounds very plausible, Mantra. I have always liked rock-hard pillows, myself.

It's only this one time in ages that I've woken up with a splitting headache. Most of this Migraine problem is from taking Ramipril and Asprin every day for 3 years now. Blood thinners. It's why I have cicadas in my head, ringing out all the time.

But it's like living next to a railway track - after a few days you're not even aware of the noise anymore.

Thank you, Mantra.

If you've got a migraine, Hebie, the worst thing you could be doing is reading a screen. I'm surprised you can even make out the words.

When i get them, i lie down in a dark room. When I'm not vomiting that is.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mothra.

You've obviously got 'The Whole Nine Yards' type of migraine. My sincere condolences.

I believe blood vessels dilating in the brain presses against nerve endings which then causes the pain.

Cheers Herbie. I only get them once or twice a year but they are rugged when they strike.

My daughter gets them all the time though. Not as bad as me usually (she can still function through them mostly) but she suffers nonetheless... poor kid.

Glad you're feeling better

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Thanks Mothra. You're one of the best here despite those voices in your head telling you to vote Greens, or whatever.

Incidentally, I'm on a mission to find out what triggers these migraine attacks in other people so that I can experiment with these to see if they apply to me. That was the original intention of this thread before it all got carried away by the pixies.

I'm sorry for your suffering Herbert. I didn't know blood thinners were a cause of migraines. I like hard pillows too. These latex pillows are very firm, but I also use a thin hard pillow on top of it to give it a little more height.

I can't see how people become addicted to Endone - I found it very ineffective when I used it one time when I had a broken bone. I wouldn't know what pain medication to recommend as I have a fairly high tolerance to pain and rarely use medications.

I have heard that Amcal Strong Pain Relief Plus is excellent - it has 10 mg of codeine, but it's the doxylamine in it which gives the relief.

Anyway you've probably tried everything there is, but as a last resort you could always try a new pillow and see if that helps a little bit. I bought the Dunlop brand which was a little firmer looking than the others. It hasn't lost its shape in a couple of years.

Thanks, but Hell no - I would definitely not class myself as a sufferer of migraine - that would be totally unfair to those who really do go through hell with it.

It's just that on this one occasion a couple of days ago I went to bed from a bout of 'aura' type migraine that blinds you for about an hour - with not the slightest hint of a headache, but then woke up hours later with the most painful headache I have ever experienced in my entire life - worse than when I was laid in bed for a week after being smashed by a fast cricket ball.

It surprised me too. From no more than around two mild 'aura' type migraines a year - the blood thinners then saw me having as many as six in a run of six days, and then some quiet times.

I've bookmarked this for later checking on. One of the problems is that my GP of 20 years should never have been given a doctor's licence. He is simply not up to it in terms of IQ, aptitude, and intellect.

Thanks, Mantra, it's all helpful information that I can check out to see if there are remedies there.

Got to run for the bus for a dental appointment. Have just taken a massive 1000 gm of Amoxycillin to keep the dental germs off my artificial heart valve.
