How to know am having a normal Headache or Migraine? What is the different? How to cure it?
I always have problem in knowing whether I have a Migraine or just an ordinary Headache. Obviously, I always have a bad headache that can last for about 2 to 5 days. Ordinary drug such as Paracetamol (500mg x 2) is not really effective for me. It makes me taking another strong drug such as Ponstan (500mg) to reduce my headache. However, the painkiller could not last long, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I just think that my headache become worst in some way that sometimes Ponstan no more effective for me and force me to take another drug such as Sonap (275mg) which is usually used for Migraine. It is mean that am having a Migraine or we have some level of Headaches?

I hate spam answers like your other two answers. It does sound like a migraine. If you don’t have a caffeine sensitivity, go get some Excedrin Migraine, it works pretty good. Take it as directed and lie down in a dark quiet room. If you fall asleep that’s fine, if the headache doesn’t ease up after two hours take another dose and continue to lie down. If by tomorrow you are still having the headache seeing a doctor wouldn’t hurt, they can give you stronger migraine specific medication. The Excedrin always helps my husband who gets them really bad, he gets numbness along with pain. I get menstrual migraines that have to be treated with a prescription medication called Frova, it’s designed for those types of migraines. I hope you feel better, and I hope I could be of some help.

If you missed school, you missed school, regardless for what reason. So there isnt anything you can do so they dont count it against you.

If this is something that is happening frequently through out the year, I recommend homeschooling. Especially if you need to be in a quiet and dark place, like your home.

Sorry. 🙁

Can a chiropractor really help resolve migraine headaches?

Can a chiropractor really help resolve migraine headaches?
My wife has had migraine headaches for 30 years. Maxalt pills are what help her, but it only lessens the pain, and it makes her very woozy and with no energy. Would it be worth it to go see a chiropractor to see if they can find a pinched nerve or something? Thanks!

I have migraine problems and over the counter anti-inflammatories, such as advil don’t help me at all. I’ve gotten prescription meds that help, but the best thing is to smoke a bit of weed. It’s natural and won’t create stomach ulcers. Sleeping in a dark quiet environment always helps also. Calming, herbal teas can always help also.
