It hasn't prevented the migraines, just helped them go away when they are really bad and meds won't help. I really feel mine are related to a crappy sleep schedule, sugar and hormones. What does your chiropractor do exactly that seems to help?<br /><br />I'm not a huge diet soda drinker but I do have a few every week. I'll try cutting it out entirely and see if it helps anything.Risahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14382708341009834895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160638492811401580.post-43006599227588389242009-04-23T10:49:00.000-05:002009-04-23T10:49:00.000-05:00I not only have migraine but I practice in headach...I not only have migraine but I practice in headache medicine so I really sympathize.<br /><br />The best alternatives for headache during pregnancy are rest, and tylenol or tyleno with codiene. I manage pregnant migrainuers and rarely we do put them on daily medication IF mom is throwing up everyday and in severe pain.<br /><br />If your headaches are still disabling..try exercise 2x per week and vitamin therapy..magnesium, B2 and feverfew. Caution though..can't take these if pregnant.<br /><br />Good luck!Mary Kayhttp://www.headache-adviser.com/headachesandpregnancy.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160638492811401580.post-45711948022770220382009-04-22T18:24:00.000-05:002009-04-22T18:24:00.000-05:00I get migraines all the time...infact right after ...I get migraines all the time...infact right after our wedding I had 15 in one month! They have me on a preventive called Evlin (not sure if that is spelled right). It has helped, and the OBGYN said its save when I carry a child.

I suffered from migranes from about 16 years old. I really don't know what started it. The only solution I had was Imitrex and I absolutely hated how it made me feel. I tried lots of things (less caffiene, no chocolate to get rid of them). Then about 2 years ago I decided to get lasik eye surgery, totally unrealted to the migranes. Ever since then I have been migrane free. I don't know if that is why but I am keeping my fingers crossed I never get a migrane again.Nicolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160638492811401580.post-71155334577351586272009-04-22T16:10:00.000-05:002009-04-22T16:10:00.000-05:00I have horrible migraines!!

I'm so sorry you have to deal with them.<br /><br />I didn't start getting migraines until I was 17, after years of my mother's headaches. I never, ever understood the debilitating pain she suffered until then. <br /><br />I never understood my triggers and only managed the pain through Imitrex and Butabitol, darkness, coolness and time.<br /><br />About 2 years ago I decided to cut out Diet Coke because it was a cost and I needed to drink more water. Wouldn't you know . . . I haven't had a migraine in at least 1 1/2 years. <br /><br />Mind you my caffeine intact stayed the same as I basically just switched to coffee . . . but those toxins and artificial sweetners in Diet Coke no longer entered my body. I'm convinced this is the change that helped me.<br /><br />It doesn't sound like this will help you at all, but I'm sharing because I was a complete skeptic when it came to the "dangers" of Nutrasweet. For any diet pop drinking migraine sufferers, I urge you to cut it out for a couple of months and see if it has any effect!leah @maritalblesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034498538466498351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160638492811401580.post-78397110247657792352009-04-22T11:48:00.000-05:002009-04-22T11:48:00.000-05:00My mom suffers from Chronic migraines and as a res...My mom suffers from Chronic migraines and as a result, I do as well, but not nearly like she does. When I was still on the pill, the dr's thought that estrogen was causing them, so they put me on a progesterone only birth control pill. That helped immensely, until I went off the pill and I became pregnant. I have had my share of migraines with pregnancy, and surprisingly, my OB prescribed Tylenol with Codeine. I don't have to take it very often but it is nice to have on hand for when a migraine strikes!

I actually saw a chiro. on a regular basis while I was pregnant to keep aligned (my hips were bothering me terribly). At icpa4kids.com (or org?) you can find a chiropractor who's certified to care for pregnant women.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178823880796013002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160638492811401580.post-72612445759773092242009-04-22T10:14:00.000-05:002009-04-22T10:14:00.000-05:00I get headaches very frequently.... I've never...I get headaches very frequently.... I've never been diagnosed with migraines, but I know I get them from time to time. The Chiro helped a lot, but it gets expensive. I started going to this massage therapist on occasion and it really started to get rid of some of the headaches. I get a lot less headaches now. I have a lot of tension in my neck & shoulders because of the nature of my job, so I feel so amazing when I leave the massage therapists office! She does a great job concentrating mainly on my neck, back and shoulders but then hits the other parts for a short time as well.... Anyway, its relaxing, refreshing and works wonders for my headaches! Good luck! :-)Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854536519219675346noreply@blogger.com
