Any good ways to help get rid of migraines?
My husband gets migraines when his sleep schedule is messed up or he doesn’t eat meals at the right times. This is difficult as he has a third shift job and sometimes must switch his schedule around to do certain things during the day. The only way I know is to give him some excedrin and have him sleep for a while. This often gets in the way of things we have to do. Anyone know of any ways that would help his migraines so that we can still do what we need to instead of getting stuck at home? Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure 100%
but i think he needs to drink plenty of water, at least nap one time a day
or- talk to a doctor about this.
this probably wasn’t good help,
i’m just thinking of wayss to help you…
A great over the counter herbal drug (which we all have in our brain chemistry) is MELATONIN which resets our "clocks" such as flying from one time zone to another and shift workers, etc. You wake up feeling well relaxed and not hung over like sleep meds make you.
I suffer with migraines and see a Neurologist. He prescribes Fiorecet for me. However, the thing that makes migraines different from ordinary headaches is, with migraine, the cerebral veins vasodialate, expand, causing tremendous pain. With an ordinary headache, they constrict. My neurologist told me always use an ice pack on the area of the head that has the migraine. People have the misconception that the headaches actually takes place in the brain. It does not. It affects all the veins under the skull covering. That’s where all the veins are and it is so vascular there, it is the reason that a severe blow to head bleeds so much. So use ice packs and if he can get some migraine medications, then he should see his MD. There are a lot of medications out there for migraines, He just has to find the one that works for him. I’ve tried them all, well, my MD prescribed a lot of different ones and the only thing that works for me is Fiorecet. Immetrex is supposed to be really good, but it didn’t work for me. I know his pain. Good luck, I hope he feels better soon.
