Migraines while cycling...help please!

matt'sbride · April 2011

What are you remedies for migraines while cycling? I am now miserable and I can't do anything about it (that I know of anyways). I have an appt tomorrow AM so if I still have it, I'll be asking for something to be called in and I'll stay home from work.

Until then, what in the world can I do to make my head feel better? I had my one soda today, but can I have more just for today? I'm hoping the caffeine will help. Where's the line on exactly how much caffeine I can have? Especially if it's just for this one day?

Ugh, please help. TIA

Caffeine usually helps. As for how much you can have, I know that varies from Dr. To Dr. My Dr. Wants me to have little to none and I'm following that. I do think it's fine especially if you have a migraine

. I don't think a little caffeine to help it will effect your cycle. GL! Hope it goes away soon.

I'm sorry. I get brutal headaches when cycling too. I haven't found anything to help except an ice pack on my forehead. For me, I get them when my estrogen rapidly increases or decreases. So, they usually only last a couple of days. Then my hormones level out again and I feel better. Hopefully, you will be the same and you will feel better soon. ((Hugs))

I get them, too. If it's while I'm stimming I take my Mede. I just won't make it otherwise. If I'm in the 2ww I take a Tylenol, use a cold compress, drink a cup of coffee and use migrastick, which if an aromatherapy treatment. I hope you feel better soon.
