I am wearing sunglasses at my cubicle tonight. No, the sunshine isn’t shining in by any means; however, my eyes are extra sensitive as another potential migraine is coming on.
I hate it when they come upon me whhile I am at work; at least, when I am home, I can go lay down until the migrain has passed.
For those with migraines, how you handle it when it occurs at work??
So sorry to hear about the migraine! With my clients that suffer from them reducing stress is often a huge help! Hope you feel better soon!

Txbluebonnet,
I feel so sorry for you.Migraines are nasty,and painful..If you‘re at work,try drinking a cup of black coffee and take a couple of Tylenol...I used to suffer from them terribly until I started staying from the foods that brought them on..I hope you feel better later on..

I take relpax now, I did take imetrex. When I was working I would have to come home..If I don’t catch it at the beginning, I’m out for two or three days.
relpax, but u must take it when you feel it coming.
strangley enough excedrin migraine has worked for me as well. I take 3
Hi Tracy
Have you tried Maxalt before? It works too..
Susan
Imetrix, I have heard of before. I haven’t heard of Maxalt or Replax, but I haven’t had health insurance for about 8 years prior last June. I went to an opthalmologist last week and she said that she couldn’t prescribe anything. I’m thinking to myself, “What kind of an eye doctor is that?” I was so specific when scheduling my appointment.
I have been taking 6 advils (1200 mg) which isn’t really adviseable. :( I take those asap as it starts. If I am at home, I go to sleep. If I am at work, I get towels to with hot water and put over my eyes and forehead...and a cold coke can to place behind my head and wait about 15-30 min. I probably look over melodramatic to my coworkers and supervisor, but they just don’t know, do they.
Last night I had to resort to the sunglasses too because the lights are just too bright at work. Ughghgh..
Eventually it did go away; just so much to do to ensure that happens so I am not just absolutely useless. lol...
I have Mirgaleve they have different strengths so you take two pink at the start and then hit the blue .. they are great
My husband takes Fioricet w/codeine. He also try potassium and magnesium, he explained that those minerals makes the muscles relax easier.
Oh Txbluebonnet, I feel for you. I get migraines too. I rarely go anywhere without some tylenol with me. If I can take the tylenol as soon as I feel one starting, I can usually get thru work ok. Light doesn’t bother me so much. For me it’s noise that puts me over the edge.
Stress does make a difference. I find myself with far fewer migraines when my stress level is lower.
I also found years ago that choropractic treatment does wonders. If I keep my neck in proper alignment, I have fewer and less severe migraines.

Oh, I discovered the wonders of chiropractic care with migranes. Just one quick twist to the side and horrible mitgrane is gone instantly. Too bad the chiropractor that I normally go to appears to be on vacation.
