Funny how puking = instant migraine relief.

[LoZoccolo]

I was all set for a miserable evening nursing a headache, and then I puked once and it was like instantly gone.

I seriously don't want to gross anyone out; I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. It's happened like four times in my life.

1. what does that have to do with Oasis?

[Dookus]

2. Oasis cured his headache!

3. I can come up with an answer

But I'll just be kind.

4. Yeah, that's the way migraines work

First the hallucinations, then the headache, then the barfing, then you sleep it off.

I'm so grateful I take Norvasc now and don't have to face migraines anymore.

5. used to work for me quite often...

I feel for you, I really do. Migraines are miserable.

I don't get them anymore, due to blood pressure medication. Not that I'd wish elevated BP on anyone to cure a migraine, but it was a great side effect for me.

Take care. :hi:

6. Yes. I will puke on purpose if I know I am getting one of those headaches

Has to do with electrolyte imbalances, I think.

7. For me it was sometimes temporary relief

I would feel awful, then yack, then I could sleep some until I got to feeling awful again.

Sometimes the medicine works where I don't get pukey, or only puke once. It all depends.

8. I've had them for years, and often vomiting does help

but I have also reached the point of uncontrollable vomiting- thats when its time for the ER.

9. it helps for a few minutes, it takes my mind off the pain

until i'm done cleaning myself up. I need a dark room with no sound and light until it passes.

10. Same here. Dark room, quiet, and a brief nap if possible...

Even then, for the rest of the day I feel pretty rocky. The day after, though, I feel A-OK. :shrug:

11. the chinese believe some headaches are actually tummyaches

in disguise (tummyache causes headache). Maybe that's true in your case. I know it's true in mine.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. Yes, that is my experience, too

Nausea is one of the defining features of a migraine.

[Bouncy Ball]

13. Awww

I have no idea what you are talking about, but I got that you puked and I HATE puking, so I feel sorry for you, except you said it got rid of your headache, so I don't....????

Anyway, glad you are feeling better!!!

:hug:

15. For you, maybe

When I get them -- lucky me! -- intense nausea and vomitting sequentially are part of the experience, not the end.

They used to last for days.

Imitrex is the only thing that works for me. Before that came out, I used compazine to control the nausea and vomiting.
