I've had good results from taking baths. My migraines are a bit weird but a bath often helps me quickly.
Sounds simple but yeah same here
My chemistry teacher taught me a trick that knocks the pain back for a little bit - cold head and hot hands. Basically, cool my head down with ice wrapped in a small wet towel, while heating my hands up somehow. It's supposed to pull the blood away from your head which lessens the pain.
I could at the very least see it being relaxing, which would help reduce stress which in theory could help. Do you just run a bath and get in, or do you put any special bath stuff in it? I'm more of a shower person, myself, so as silly as this sounds I don't know how to prepare the "optimal" bath lol.
