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!

    Aimovig was a godsend for me too, taking me from a couple of migraines a week down to once a month if I was unlucky. I’ve since swapped to emgality, due to insurance coverage, and now they’ve stopped pretty much entirely. I don’t know if it’s a difference between the medications, or a change in my migraine pattern. Have you tried any of the other injectable meds?

      Nah, Aimovig is the first for me. I literally just requested to up the dose like an hour ago, so assuming that goes through hopefully that will completely knock it out from there. If not, I’ve heard good things about Emgality and another one I’m drawing a blank on the name for, so I can always see about revisiting those if needed.

      Good deal that the Emgality is working for you!
