Migraines?

Anyone here have migraines? If so, are they a life long thing, or can they start anytime? I have had a crippling headache for 3 straight days. I haven't even left the house it hurts so bad. I tried drinking, but that hasn't helped, and I can't help but think this has got to be a migraine. It fucking hurts. Even the sound of the keys aggravates it.

First, go get yourself some Excedrin Migraine. That works wonders. Use a heating pad for your head. Keeps the lights low. I take dramamine for the nausea. That stuff works great and will help you sleep. Tell your doctor about it, he can prescribe you some Imatrex.
Also, keep some caffiene around as well. Sometimes they don't start until your teen years, maybe even later, but they will never go away. You can however learn what triggers them and control them from here on out.
Hope you feel better.

if you have access to LSD, dose up, mushrooms can also help to eliminate the headache, do low doses, about 2 dry grams, it knocks out cluster headaches as well as migraines.

willow bark works too but psilocybin and LSD will keep them away longer

LSD, psilocybin, and LSA have all proven effective in relieving cluster headaches and migraines, although they seem to not be as effective against migraines as they are against cluster headaches. A lower percentage of migraineurs report relief (although it is still a VERY high percentage who do) and the remission periods seem less lengthy for migraineurs than for clusterheads.
If you wish to stick with legal meds, the prescription meds which have the highest success rate for migraine are the "triptans" -- sumatriptan, zolmitriptan, naratriptan and several others whose names escape me at the moment.
Sumatriptan is sold as Imitrex in the US and is available in tablet form, nasal spray, and injection. The injectable version will stop a migraine dead in its tracks in around seven or eight minutes, but the injector is NOT cheap. About $45 each, I think. However, Glaxxo's patent on sumatriptan is almost due to expire, so generic sumatriptan should be available in the US soon. It's already available outside North merica.
