Many people in the United States suffer from migraines. A migraine is not just a regular headache. It is a throbbing pain commonly on one side of the head and more painful than a headache. Migraines can last up to hours or even days. Migraines can be triggered by light, strong odors, and sound as well as certain foods. Stress and anxiety are also common triggers of a migraine. Migraines also come with a variety of symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, and nausea. There is no cure for migraines but there are a variety of ways a person can treat their pain. One of the most common ways to relieve migraine pain is the use of pain relieving pills. There are two types of pills that are available to individuals: prescribed pills and over the counter pills. There are other ways to treat a migraine such as acupuncture, homeopathy, massage practice, and other natural alternatives.

There doesn't seem to be one thing across the board that works for all. I have tried all of the mention treatments plus experimental surgery. Sadly it is a hit and miss process that can last years.

I always get migranes and I never knew that I could get sick using pain relieving pills until I got an ulcer due to an overdose.
