I use mint aromatherapy for my migraines when I can't get to my meds. Ice on the forehead, cool, dark, and quiet. If you can tolerate, try some caffeine, that's what's in excederine migraine.

    I've been taking Imitrex (sumatriptan) for migraines for years and my surgeon said I can continue taking it. You need a prescription but if you get migraines regularly it's worth asking for. In the meantime, wendilin is right -- get some caffeine.

    Crappy Tylenol.

    Imitrex, pressure points on my temples/back of head, essential oils (peppermint) and aromatherapy help, or the crappy Tylenol. The other thing that has helped tremendously is a beta blocker (metoprolol) for migraine prevention (I have to watch my BP because it's normally low normal so if I don't drink enough fluids I can get dizzy). The beta blocker for prevention has been the best thing ever. I've been on it 10+ years and went from a migraine 2-3 times per month to maybe one every other month. I hope you start feeling better soon.
