Coffee seems to give me short term benefit but set me up for a harder fall when I do go down. I'm currently trying for small amounts of decaf coffee daily, along with the low dose aspirin, and I'm taking a single drop of oxidal most days. Ibuprofen seems more effective for me for sometimes stopping migraines in prodrome, or relieving them a littel when underway. My only effective drug once under way is sumatriptan.Derek said:post 108626tara said:post 108624 When I had a pounding heart in teh night a couple of years ago, I think it was associated with hyperventilation. Have you tried slow breathing exercises before sleep? Or maybe a gentle walk after dinner (mouth shut)?
I've recently started taking about 120mg aspirin most days. I dissolve with a little baking soda in water, and add juice.
For the previous couple of years I was taking occasional aspirin at 500-1000 mg to see if they could avert migraines.
Aspirin/caffeine combinations seem to be highly effective for migraines. Did it work at all?
Tara,
When I lowered my calcium/magnesium and upped my sodium/potassium my migraines got way better/less frequent! Calcium almost always gave me migraines.
