Were in a right mess arn't we!!!

Did you enjoy you relaxing bath, I must admit I had one and it was wonderful, just a shame the pain comes flooding back when I'm trying to get out of the bath, ah well.... How was the little itches, hope it wasnt bad xxx Hugs

hi I suffer with terrible pain/ headaches as yourself, with the migrains I put a very cold flannel over my forhead and i also massage my eyebrows, you probably think eh?! if you gently pinch along the length of each eye brow ,or get someone to do this for you, you will be really pleasantly surprised at the relief it brings.

Hey I've got a virus, we all seem to be going through the mill at the moment and my head is banging, even when I move it hurts. I am just taking usual meds, amptirptylyne, tramadol & paracetomal

But as really tender on left temple, using an ice cold flannel.(Gives a little bit of a release) Also just laying in a dark room, sometimes is the only thing that eases the pain.

I am sure they are many headache relievers on the market, I think my mate had a product that you rub onto temples, think I will take a trip to chemist and explore. Let you know how I get on.

Take Care

I've heard of your meds and been told there the best for fm + migraines, sod's law I'm not allowed them as I suffer from Epilepsy too,

But I think I'll take u up on your idea of going to the chemist myself, I'll get my hubby to take me their, when the kids r back at school,

I'd certainly like to find something different from pills, I'm sick of taking them,

So thanks for that and Good luck

i suffer really badly with cluster migraine the gp perscribed me with imigran50 (sumatriptan) these i found really help but i put a hot water botttle at the base of my skull it sometimes helps but like you im going through the mill at the mmin with cfs and fibro is kicking in every muscle and fiber from the balls of my feet to the top of my head is being twisted into positions that shouldnt exsist (hypothettically )that is

i really hope you get some help for the migraine there isnt anything worse in my opinion but try talking to your gp and tell him about your migraine its important that he is aware of this hun
