My Must-Have Items for Chronic Migraines

As someone who has dealt with chronic migraines since I was a child, I have learned what items are useful when dealing with an attack.

Now, when I am in the middle of a migraine attack, there are a few items I immediately reach for.

First, when I am having a migraine, the one symptom that is always present is nausea. Luckily, my neurologist prescribed Zofran, which is a lifesaver. When I need a little extra help with nausea, I grab the Pink Stork Nausea Sweets. I personally like the Ginger Raspberry flavor!!

One supplement my neurologist recommended to help prevent migraines Is Riboflavin and Magnesium. I currently use Ourui One Gummies, which I personally believe helps with migraine prevention.

Now, I am on multiple prescription medications for my chronic migraines, but I feel like it is so important to have some over-the-counter options in case you run out of meds before you can refill them!

If I am waiting for my Zofran prescription to be refilled or if I feel like the nausea is just starting and I have some time before it gets worse, I tend to grab Dramamine Nausea. This takes longer to kick in than Zofran, but I like knowing I have another option that works.

The one thing that usually helps/gives some relief is an ice pack. I use the TheraICE Headache Hat, which stays in place without having to hold/adjust it!

When my migraine becomes extremely painful, and I am waiting for my meds to kick in, I tend to use the HeadaTerm 2 Migraine Device, which has different levels of stimulation. This device can be used as a migraine preventative measure or to help manage an attack!
