Oh, Ruchie, sweetie, not migraines TOO??!! That's really not fair. Okay, non-med suggestions:

-ICE PACK!! For me on the back of the neck works best.

-Lie down in a dark room. Do NOT try to go on about your day, it will make it WORSE.

-Can you take Aleve (Naproxen)? It really helps, especially if you take it the INSTANT you think you're getting a migraine. I take it with one Imodium tablet so it doesn't give me D.

-CoEnzyme Q10 is a natural supplement like feverfew that studies have shown to be VERY effective. It's a little more expensive but WORTH IT!!

-Also magnesium and one of the B vitamins (I can't remember which -- fibro fog!!)

Hope this helps, sweetie. Feel better soon. And remember, they go in cycles, so they get worse for a while and then get better for a while and no one knows why. So hang in there, this cycle will turn around eventually.

Oh, what about a trigger diary!! Have you started trying to figure out your triggers??
