Migraines and desperately searching for a cure
I have has Migraines/ Cluster headaches since I was 13 years old I am a 24 year old female...Exedrin migraine stopped working for me and now just gives me heartburn... I can take 6 of them and it just barely takes the edge offLortab... dosent work anymore nor does xanex even a mix of them barley makes me functional... They always start behind my right eye and progessively get worse thoughout the day untill the point of yes... I have begged for death that the pain becomes so intolerable... they cause me to vomit my eyes get red and I get feverish they move to my temples then to my ears and down my neck... it feels as if I got hit in the face with a brick... I get them sometimes every two or three days it will go on for a month this way then it clears up for one to three months then whammo they are back. I become photophobic and any heat just makes it worse... Ice compresses help aleviate the pain so does putting pressure on the crease where the eye socket ends just below the eyebrow on the upper eyelid... I have a high pain threshhold but the migraines bring me to my knees making me incapable of even simple tasks... I've serached many avenues praying for a cure... Please if anyone has any information let me know.Justice

Dear Justice, Please give me a little time to study. I too had migraines. I won't tell you how long. I was treated like an addict by doctors. I had them before anyone believed they were real. I often said I wouldn't wish them off on Hitler. I needed cold too. Any warmth would make me vomit.
Let me look and I will get back to you asap. Have you tried Imitrex? This is what finally helped me.
Let's see if there is any homeopathic remedy for you.

While we are at this, please tell me about if you have any allergies you know about.
What about wheat, or dairy? What do you enjoy as a drink? Water, soda, coffee, tea, something else? Do you drink diet stuff? Do you like Chinese food? Tell me about your likes and hates. Are you happy with marriage, if married. Any children? Etc. Talk to me at length.

I have been a fellow sufferer from Migraines up to about 30 years ago for which I was prescribed Cafergot which left me in a most unusual state of mind with hardly any effect on the problem headache.
I then changed over to Homeopathy and discovered that 4 balls Bryonia 30 taken as early as possible when I first felt it coming on usually aborted it. If there is no relief within half hour another dose is taken and this usually works.
I have given it to many patients and they have invariably discovered that it helped. I have also suggested that if they are the chronic type like you, they take it last thing at night even when they do not have the symptoms to ensure that they do not wake up with a migraine.
There is however an exception to the use of Bryonia for migraine if you get an attack when you are exposed to strong light, that is sunlight during the day and bright lights at night. The remedy is then Glonoine 30 to be used in the same dosage.
Please post your reaction to Bryonia if you decide to use it on this forum.

A true migraine where one has to lie down in a darkened room and wait it out is part of the hereditary tubercular condition.
In fact the proving of tuberculinum mentions
" - frequent sharp cutting pains passing the right eye through the head -"
If you are afraid of dogs , like thunderstorms and travel- also if there was any TB in previuous generations of your family - this may be an answer.

I Have been in a long term relationship for about 3 and a half years, I have one daughter who just turned 4 she is wonderful and my boyfriend is also a wonderful caring person who I enjoy spending time with.We play alot of games together, mostly PC games and X-box... Angel loves to watch and we also get her to play them as well... though her motor skills arent like ours yet shes getting there... I'm proud of her either way and she has fun with us and thats what matters most. I love Thai iced tea but drink alot of higly caffinated things like coffee and Mountain Dew (Not got for me Im sure) I highly avoid diet stuff, I'd rather drink water when faced with a Diet coke it just tastes so darn horrible to me. I love asian foods, Thai is my favorate expecailly when made with alot of hot chili spices... I love red meat, I crave it best stuff on earth, but I am an O so what do you expect... Dairy Im fine with but Sulfur makes me very ill, I can eat more than aa egg due to the yolks... Sulfates in anything kill me and sulfadrug is like posison to me, I'm allergic to olive trees in bloom and Penicillin. I hate rye bread and italian sausage the taste and smell of either is repulsive... I cannot drink alcohol at all, makes me worse than sick, I feel almost as if I had been beaten up for 12 hours the next day after I drink... my whole body aches, so I do not drink, good remedy. I detest eating pork as well onle because I know how bad the stuff is but every so often I cheat and eat some bacon and DAMN McDonalds for making the sausage buiscuts I love those things with ketchup and jelly on them is even better. I enjoy Turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce and mashed yams, Hate mircle whip, tastes like sweetened shoe polish but real mayo is great stuff. I Love Animals alot and thankfully I am not allergic to them although my daughter recently developed an allergy to shorthaired cats, I dont hate dogs or fear them I just prefer cats. Lightning I love, wish it happened more often, so beautiful. Traveling... yeah Do that ALOT, Ive moved 8 times since I was 17 alone. Im ready though to settle in one place I hope. Theres all the info I could spill for now... Boyfriend is nagging me so he can use the comp.... I'll be back on later Oh and yes imitrex did work, just so darn expensive.

Hi Justice, Try this remedy: LILIUM TIGRINUM 30C. You could take a dose, but unknown. Maybe it would be better to take "as needed."
This remedy works slowly, so do not dispair. If migraine is bad and doesn't begin to respond, take a dose every hour for 3 doses during the migraine. This is for the "whole" you, expect other good things to show.
I have found other times, other years that some people are allergic to something in the Thai Tea. Do not drink any for a month and then drink one to see. Don't do this around your period, do after.
Please let us know.
Blessings, Sabra

If tea is causing your migraines, examine the drug picture of following medicines:
1. Selenium
2. China
3. Thuja
Almost a year back I posted a comprehensive mail on Migraines. You will be able to find it in the Forunm Archives.

Well I found out what I have are called Cluster headaches, The doc I went to before said this and I wanted to get a second opinion due to they are rare in Women and only 0.04% of the population actually have them. So I got a second and a third opinion all agreed. My mom (bercause moms notice things even when their childeren are all grown up and moved away) mentioned to me "Notice that when the humitity is high you have cluster attacks more often" and my boyfriend mentioned this in passing tonight as well. I know its not tea, I've actually tested it before... Also I have problems with emotions and repressing my thoughts, feelings, wants,and desires is also a problem, I have more frequent attacks after I cry, I dont cry very often I have some fears and insecurities of being veiwed as a sissy being the champion of the underdog my whole life and everyone elses Rock of Gibraltar gave me no time to be able to break down myself... As for being Lady Justice... I also go by JusticeAngel everywhere else, I have alot of passion for helping other expecailly in situations where they have been truly wronged (before I help out I make sure I get both sides of the story and also a few outside opinions that are non biast and I think of how I would feel being both parties) I've been having a conflict though lately where I have withdrawn from people and have had some issues come up although I care immensely for others sometimes I am exteemly ambivolent towards all people as well... I truly belive all aspects of my life are involved in this matter... Physical, spiritual and emotionalI've been looking at Belladonna to help with the migrane/cluster headaches. But I'm open to all of your recomendations, I had a belladonna perscription once but it was in a small dose and from a pharmacy not an herbal supplier... I just want a cure... not a temporary solution thats why personally I am shying away from the Belladonna treatments. Its a solution for the short term, a crutch I'd have to hobble on forever, my dream is to be free of having to rely on any percription or herbal or patented yucky bad side effects include death stuff. Thank you all for helping I'm going to try these and let you all know. I appreciate the help and support...

Please read my post above where I recommended the use of 4 balls Bryonia 30 under the tongue to abort a Migraine. If you do not have any relief, you may repeat the dose after half an hour.
If you are subjected to cluster headaches, I suggest that you take a course of 2 balls Bry 30 under the tongue for about a week and you should find that the cluster headaches have left you for good.
Please remember that the remedy works best when taken as early as possible as soon as you have the first signs of the migraine or headache coming on.

Just three questions
1. How you deal with your anger, or what do you do when get angry? Do you thrown things....
2. How long it takes to repent after gettng angry?
2. About amusement, do you like amusement, like going to cinemas, shows etc..
By the way what is the effect of belladonna on you and who told you that Belladonna is a short term solution?

Clarke's book gives the duration of Belladonna as 1- 7 days .

Well I usually dont do much with my anger untill I've had it... I take it in untill I eventually have to go outside and break a glass... this is getting very stressful on my dishware. It takes a few hours then I'm ok unless I break the glass and then Im immediately ok. For amusement I love video games mostly fantasy and sci-fi ones, and table top RPGs are fun too... Belladonna had no effect on me when it was perscibed... at all, hasd to rely on the yucky excederin.

Well thats positive ! I often used to advise people to take a big stick to the bottom of the garden and beat hell out of the clothspole.
Sci fi has been my favorite since I was 14 and switched from fairy stories .
Did you ever come accross the one where the Aliens came to Earth and offered immortality to everyone. They all said Hooray -sign me up . There was only one snag , as it turned out --- you had to abandon all your cherished beliefs . No one took up the offer!! . Thew story was titled "THEY'D RATHER BE RIGHT " .
Still think Bacillinium is best --- unless you get hot feet in bed , are untidy and have a bowel motion shortly after waking --- in which case it would be Sulphur/Pulsatilla
Keep on breaking things - but buy them cheap and wholesale!.

Ayurvedic welcome here, we are here to help our fellow humans.
Buy glassware at a thrift store. Use a large container to break in, no clean up.
My young asthmatic used to get so angry when his brothers and neighborhood kids picked on him, I gave him a broom stick (minus the broom) and an empty gallon plastic jug. Told him to beat it all over the yard until he felt better. We would hear the thunk/thunk for awhile and then he would come in feeling better.

Hi, I suffer from cluster migraines - get one every two weeks. However, I started drinking cranberry juice mixed with apple juice on a daily basis and I haven't had a headache in 6 weeks. Has anyone else experienced something like this?
thanks

I am eight months pregnant now and suffer severely with cluster migraines, being pregnant I have been unable to take any medication and was getting up to four migraines a week.
I also stumbled on cranberry and apple juice and now drink a glass every morning with my supplements. I have not had a migraine in a month now and if I do feel a dull headache coming on I drink a glass of juice and it is gone within minutes.
I don't know how or why it works, but I am so grateful I found out about it! Now if only there was a juice for back ache! :)
