I am currently waiting for my first migrain in over 11 years.

Any tips. I have forgot them all

Er, tips to occupy yourself whilst waiting or tips to cope if you get another? :D

darkened room, or sunglasses and lots of sweet drinks works for me.

Anyway, seems to me that you must be doing all the right things if you haven't had one for 11 yrs?
For what it's worth: going to bed in a quiet, dark room if possible and a sweet biscuit of some description (if you're not feeling too nauseous with it).:D

Good drugs. Bring em on!

I've tried everything the health food shops has to offer:- chinese herbal medicines, homeopathic remedies etc. I broke down and went to my doctor. A cold compress on the forehead and eyes feels nice too.

Don't suffer much now but used to.
Things to help, pain killers, bed dark and v quite, food presented when u wake if u can eat, and back to bed.
Sorry i found this worked best for me and others around me at the time, and it does go quicker.

imigran has to be prescribed but its very very effective

A word of warning.

It appears there is a nice littl ebug going round. My migraine yesterday was just the start. From tea time (more like supper by the time we had) I was nausious. Extremely nausious. WEnt to bed at eight to try and sleep it off.

Woke up at 4 to be very very ill. Closely followed a few hours later with more ill. and then somemore.

My little boy had this on Monday and we just thought it one of those things. It ain't. It hurts ALOT. I have spent most of the morning holding onto various crystals in the hope that they might get sick instead of me. It helped a little.

Various Crystal's what? If you're talking about the Crystal from Dynasty there were a few of who would have liked hanging onto ... :blush:

Oh, I see those sort of crystals.
