Anyone got any tips for knocking a migraine when medicine doesn’t seem to be enough? - eviltoast

Hey there!

So I’ve had a migraine that has been going for a couple days now. Nothing entirely new, but it’s frustrating. Dark room, low noise, tried sleeping it off, taken multiple medications for it including my Ubrelvy which normally knocks it. It took the edge off, but now I’m going on day 3 with the migraine with no perceivable end in sight.

Anyone got any tips that normally helps them to knock their migraine that’s worth considering? Normally I don’t care too much as I’ve put up with them for years, but this one has me all nauseous which makes it that much more miserable.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Sorry for not seeing the responses on this sooner. I went back to bed afterward and mostly stayed in bed and holy crap the responses blew up. I also called my neurologist and told them about it much like some of the advise that others have mentioned, and they started me on a round of prednisone to help. Fingers crossed it gets rid of it. Seems to be helping, but only time will tell. If it doesn’t, I’ll see about giving some of these a try. Thank you so much!

    How has the Vyepti been helping out? Depending on how things go when we up the Aimovig, I might consider switching. Overall it’s been pretty great though, so I don’t want to switch away from it yet. No huge side effects and for the most part it’s been pretty effective.

      I’ve only had the one dose of it. Next one is due later this month but tbh it’s been great so far.

      No side effects so far which is nice as I have had varying side effects from all the meds I’ve taken so far.
