I like to lay down in a cool and dark room. A cold rag over the eyes and temples. If you're into essential oils smelling mint and peppermint also tends to help. Maybe a cup of tea. I tend to stay away from any lights, especially artificial lights.
My personal combo is:
-take 2 excedrin or at least some Tylenol
-have some caffeine (soda/tea works better than coffee for some ppl) I usually get a mini can of Coke or some green tea
- take an alkaseltzer tablet (I like the regular or the alkaseltzer gold) and/or have an electrolyte drink on hand
- Eat some fats & protein (like a chz stick, eggs, protein shake, uhhh nuggets, anything you can tolerate if youāre nauseous. Tbh just try to get some food in you.)
-if sensory surroundings (bright lights, noises, smells, etc.) are making it worse, move to a different location if you can. If not, do your best to adapt (sunglasses will dim the room, earplugs cut out noises, masks block smells)
- then, ideally, sleep it off in a dark, quiet room (and maybe take a Benadryl to help sleep)
I do as many of these things as I can & then wait it out. Iām prescribed sumatriptanā¦but I try not to take it unless I really need it, since itās not great to take it super oftenā¦that said, I have a migraine this morning and I work today, so Iām taking EVERYTHING. Haha.
Google the Stanton Migraine Protocol. It is an extremely involved, complicated, and restrictive diet, and Iām too sick to follow it to a T, but the small things Iāve done have seemed to help. There is a group you can join on FB.
I go into a dark cool room. Sometimes I will take a hot bath with a ice pack on the back of my head. There are time I will use my diffuser with peppermint and lavender
