Q: Migraines?! Tricks to relieve them?

Had a headache for more than 2 weeks straight! In my 9th week I had a severe migraine and again yesterday in my 11th week! Loss of vision, loss of communication and understanding (confusion), numbness in half of body... has anyone dealt with these this bad and found a trick that helped?? The doc's won't allow me anything more than Tylenol and I don't know how much more of these migraines I can take :(

Redrouge - they hit me most at pregnancy too! This is baby number 6 and because of these migraines, probably the last. Usually they bother me most during the last 3 months of pregnancy. With this pregnancy they started so early that I'm almost fearing the remaining 6 months or so..Hopefully the neurologist will help greatly! I just have to hold out until the 21st to see him..

Thank you both!! I will ask the neurologist about that medication... I definitely need something more than just Tylenol. Yeah, I do take the Tylenol every 4 hours (even though my doctor got loud with me because she says too much can cause the baby & I to become immune to it, but really they aren't giving me any other options. And the ER doc told me to drink a bottle of water an hour (which has been hard lol) but I do a bottle an hour when I can and when I don't it's about a bottle every 2 hours and I sneak in Pepsi from time to time hoping the caffeine will help ;-) They checked my blood pressure at the ER 2 days ago but I didn't catch it and they never said anything. Thank you both again bunches ^_^ For now, I do Tylenol every 4 hours, lots of water, some Pepsi, lots of rest when I can, sleep, and a cold cloth on my head. I just hate that I'm getting them so much :-( Hopefully the neurologist will go for that med or anything other than and stronger than and still as safe as Tyleno

I sometimes have found watching tv helps - but only when I can stand it thro' the migraine -

are u taking the tylenol every 4 hours - i know this is a silly question -but i have found that they work n me if i catch the migraine early..

Also everybody says u need to stay more hydrated - but I know this is tough if u feeling nauseated.
