I was diagnosed last week but knew it for a while- I use heat pads and migraine patches, a hot & cold migraine cap & always have Ibuprofen, anadin and aspirin with me at all times! Also stay hydrated, I try to have at least 2 litres of water a day, and try to limit your daily activities and not overdo it! Xx

That's so weird because it's very Similar to what I already try to do. I'm 6ft 7in Tall and try to have 3 Litres a day. But means I'm always on the Toilet 🚽 lol 😂 x I have a Heat 🔥 Pad in my Bed 🛏 for my Spine which used to help a lot but not as much as it once did. My Morphine Patches and Co-codamol and Paracetamol do practically nothing!
