Migraine/Cold..HELP!!

Any tips for migraines triggered by a cold? I've been suffering with migraines for over 15 years. They were controlled by preventative meds but stopped taking them shortly before I came pregnant. Now that I'm getting sick it seems to have triggered a really bad one. I did the Tylenol/caffeine, hot shower, cold pack combo but nothing is budging it. I'm thinking I should focus on my sinuses/cold next? Any suggestions? Please help!

    Have you tried a neti pot to flush everything out and take care of some of the pressure? Also, are you getting enough potassium and magnesium?

    I was thinking about getting the neti pot but wasn't sure about it! I'll give it a shot. I have no clue if I'm getting enough of those? Should I be taking more than my prenatal pills? My doctor hasn't informed me on anything else.

    Talk to you doc before taking more than you are already taking, but low potassium or magnesium can make migraines worse.

    I love my neti pot! Sometime what I will do is eat something spicy (if you can stomach it right now) to get things lossened up a bit in there, then use the pot to flush it all out. Huge relief!
