A migraine?

And please don't say sex as I can't take that option right now.

Sadly there is no one panacea for curing a migraine

The cures can be as varied as the triggers

Generally, plenty of water, sleep and a mix of ibuprofen and paracetamol works for me

For others, avoiding light

You have my sympathies, they can be debilitating at times x

Cold pack or warm compress on the forehead, warm shower can help, also a caffienated drink.

"Brain freeze like eating a big spoon of cold ice cream.x"

I think brain freeze is a myth, not experienced it ever.

I'm on the back end of the migraine, nothing worked, spent all weekend in the dark, away from screens for most of it, taking meds etc and it just wouldn't go till a few hours ago where its started to clear slowly.

And I had a total freedom weekend. Not how I wanted to spend it!

Dark room and sleep.

If I have one coming I take a heavy dose of Gabapentin which heads it off nicely.

I hate the aftershock feeling where you have that stabbing pain in your head where even leaning over or coughing hurts.

I took pregablin but I swear it just got worse.

And I hate that too

There are no cures sadly and I don't know what brought your migraine on ....... BUT

generally lots of water, low light, sleep and painkillers.

I used to press the roof of my mouth with my upturned thumbs...... worked for me

cold compress on the base of the neck with feet and hands immersed in warm water.

I normally use the neurofen liquid tabs for my ones and go lie down

Apparently there’s an ear piercing you can have for migraines?

Hope you’re better soon though

Sleep is the only thing that works for me, but I have to have background noise to help take the focus off it

Put down your phone. Turn off the lights. Rehydrate with lots of cold water. If you have some menthol put it on your temples. Lay down. Take pain relief

I'd forgotten about the pressure point tricks! Can't think straight with a migraine though.

Maybe I should write them down and stick it on the medication box for next time. Thanks

My daughter has this, might go for it despite her saying it's painful to have done.

Stress is a major trigger for mine. Dark room, sleep, painkillers, relaxation techniques that work for you.

I’d say it’s just a headache because a full migraine you can’t consider going online you just sit in the dark. So hydration and rest

I'm on back end of it. Looking at a screen hurt the eye balls. But so did sitting in the dark. So I switched between the two Coz I got bored and wanted a distraction.
