Anyone got any tips for knocking a migraine when medicine doesn’t seem to be enough? (lemmy.studio)

Hey there!

So I’ve had a migraine that has been going for a couple days now. Nothing entirely new, but it’s frustrating. Dark room, low noise, tried sleeping it off, taken multiple medications for it including my Ubrelvy which normally knocks it. It took the edge off, but now I’m going on day 3 with the migraine with no perceivable end in sight.

Anyone got any tips that normally helps them to knock their migraine that’s worth considering? Normally I don’t care too much as I’ve put up with them for years, but this one has me all nauseous which makes it that much more miserable.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Sorry for not seeing the responses on this sooner. I went back to bed afterward and mostly stayed in bed and holy crap the responses blew up. I also called my neurologist and told them about it much like some of the advise that others have mentioned, and they started me on a round of prednisone to help. Fingers crossed it gets rid of it. Seems to be helping, but only time will tell. If it doesn't, I'll see about giving some of these a try. Thank you so much!

Well I was talking more about a microdose. Taking a tiny fraction of the amount required to actually trip. You don't get high at all from it.

Either way, I hope you've recovered from your migraine!

Ha, and that tells you just how much I know about any of that. I'm of the way better now, thank you. For some reason I started smelling brown sugar, which is interesting.
