Taking an account of events that occurred in the past is the task of a historian or cleric yet each of us who are chronic victims of migraines should have a little historian in each of us. Keeping records of certain concerns, triggers or daily activities can better aid you in your migraine pain relief more than you would originally think. If you go to the beach and have an episode, write it down. If you enjoy a particular food and have an attack afterwards, write it down. These records will better help you and your primary care physician determine what is causing your migraine episodes and how to best handle the chronic condition with the use of a migraine treatment.
Taking Treatment To Drugs
Over-the-counter medicine has its place and works wonderfully at treating some common ailments, but when it comes to severe intense migraine headaches over the counter medicines do not come close to helping ease the pain. When medicines such as: Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, Aleve and Ibuprofen no longer has any positive effect on the intense migraine pain being felt the need for prescription medication might do the trick. It is important that migraines sufferers realize that medication prescribed for migraine relief is not a cure for migraine headaches themselves but are used for one of two purposes:
- Relieve Symptoms
- Prevent Attacks
A relief of migraine symptoms can be found by the use of one of the over the counter medicines we have already mentioned earlier in this book and was briefly touched on in the paragraph above. Keep in mind that no prescription medication can prevent a migraine 100% but there are those prescription medications available that can help reduce the number of migraine attacks experienced as well as lessen the level of pain felt by the migraine sufferer. A few of the medication that a doctor might prescribe to assist with lessening the occurrence of migraines would be:
- Anti-depressants
- Anti-Seizure Medication
- Blood Pressure Medication
- Triptans
Taking Treatment To Extremes
When most think of brain surgery, they think of removing part of your brain and as a result, you have less cognition and control; when it comes to migraine surgery, it’s a bit different. Migraine surgery has been a treatment option for those individuals who simply do not respond well to medication and feel that their quality of life is habitually hindered as a result of their migraine headaches. Deciding to undergo migraine surgery implies that a surgical cauterization of the superficial blood vessels in your scalp will need to be had in order to limit and possibly remove all signs of migraine pain forever. However, before the surgery could happen, a doctor must first determine with absolute certainty that it is indeed the superficial blood vessels causing the intense migraine pain before operating.
