Hey there!

So I’ve had a migraine that has been going for a couple days now. Nothing entirely new, but it’s frustrating. Dark room, low noise, tried sleeping it off, taken multiple medications for it including my Ubrelvy which normally knocks it. It took the edge off, but now I’m going on day 3 with the migraine with no perceivable end in sight.

Anyone got any tips that normally helps them to knock their migraine that’s worth considering? Normally I don’t care too much as I’ve put up with them for years, but this one has me all nauseous which makes it that much more miserable.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Sorry for not seeing the responses on this sooner. I went back to bed afterward and mostly stayed in bed and holy crap the responses blew up. I also called my neurologist and told them about it much like some of the advise that others have mentioned, and they started me on a round of prednisone to help. Fingers crossed it gets rid of it. Seems to be helping, but only time will tell. If it doesn’t, I’ll see about giving some of these a try. Thank you so much!

      I second this. I only started smoking again a while back to stop migraines. Oddly enough, daily smoking has mostly prevented migraines from occurring.

        Thc and cbd don’t help me, but cbg does. The oil from Lazarus naturals is good.

          I may need to try that. I wonder if taking CBG daily would be a better preventative (and cheaper) than just buying certain strains.

            There used to be a guy on r/hempflowers who did that and said it cut his frequency in half. I recommended it to a coworker and she said the same. Mine are only ~2x/month, so i just use it when they come on. Helps and i don’t have the spacey weird feelings like when i take prescription meds

      Unfortunately between a bad experience I’ve had with it in the past and the legal issues of it where I live, I’ll hold off on that for now. Might revisit it if/when the legal part changes though. Appreciate the recommendation!
