I use a microwave ice pack and put it where it hurts (just not directly on the eyes) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593979 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:47:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2593979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea for in the future you could also ask about aspirin which my OB ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593976 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:47:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2593976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: sorry. Yes sudafed. I don't know you can take with Benadryl though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593974 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:41:57 +0000 IRunForFun 2593974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Do you mean sudafed? Is that safe for pregnancy? </p> <p>@maddyz: Interesting! If I ever get another I'll have to ask. Luckily I don't have any other kiddos to take care of right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593972 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:39:19 +0000 maddyz 2593972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this is totally not the usual, and I wouldn't do it with out asking your doctor. But I got a few really bad migraines early in my pregnancy and my midwife said 1 ibuprofen was fine before 30 weeks. It saved me. I was solo parenting all weekend with a 14 month old and could not get off the sofa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593964 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:23:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2593964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck. Migraines stink. I found surfaced helped too with pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593963 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:22:40 +0000 pwnstar 2593963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Thanks! I have btdt a few times . . . and pizza is fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593961 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:22:04 +0000 IRunForFun 2593961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: No. 😕 We are not tea people. </p> <p>@pwnstar: @avivoca: Brilliant idea on ordering food, actually. I do need to eat something too and I'm def not cooking. Duh, thanks! </p> <p>@avivoca: I think tension is part of the problem. I just found some lavender oil to rub on my temples. </p> <p>@pwnstar: I will def take a Benadryl. </p> <p>@MrsSRS: Drinking a Gatorade now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593957 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:16:08 +0000 avivoca 2593957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you order food in and also have a Coke delivered? Also, sometimes yoga helps relieve the tension and gives me some relief. I do easy stuff like child's pose, warrior, anything that helps stretch my muscles. Then I lay down on the floor (corpse?). I tend to get them when I have muscle tension in my shoulders, so maybe try some self massage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593955 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:11:33 +0000 MrsSRS 2593955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When caffeine didn't work for me, sometimes gatorade did. I think the ordering delivery for a soda idea is brilliant @pwnstar: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593949 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:01:05 +0000 pwnstar 2593949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would order a pizza just so I could also have Coke delivered. I would take another Tylenol and a Benadryl or Unisom (with the Coke). I would put an ice pack on the back of my neck, and lay down again and try to concentrate on relaxing my entire body. I'm so sorry. Migraines suck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593948 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:00:41 +0000 Smurfette 2593948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diet Coke and Tylenol are working for me. Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593946 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 18:58:38 +0000 Mrsbells 2593946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: do you have any caffeinated tea? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/migraine-help#post-2593944 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 18:56:31 +0000 IRunForFun 2593944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just into the 2nd tri and having my first migraine of pregnancy. I had them periodically before pregnancy and usually did Excedrin and Motrin, coffee, etc. </p> <p>I've taken Tylenol and tried cold compresses on my forehead and behind my neck and I just woke up from a 2 hour nap but none of that helped. I could do a little caffeine but the thought of coffee makes me nauseous and we have no Coke. I don't think I can drive to get any and DH is working till 11. Any suggestions??? I will try anything that's safe!! </p>
