I drink 12oz. of ice water and wear an ice halo. I can only take pain meds 2x a week. If it’s a med day I take Maxalt. I go in my blackened room and look at the Allay lamp for 30-45 minutes.

In many cases I use the combination of Tylenol and morning coffee first. If two hours later that does not work, I will turn to emergency medication Ubrelvy

I usually will try an Excedrin for Migraine and 20 oz of water along with an ice pack.
