Weird migrane effects

OK, so i got a migrane earlier (still have it). the only cure i know is drink, i've tried others but lieing in bed is the only other one that has any effect. BORING.

alcohol is a vasodilator and so increases blood flor to the brain. it's worked in the past.

However, it takes a hell of a lot to work.

the weird thing is, even tho i've drunk a brewery tonight (OK, a 70 cl bottle of malibu), i am totally clear headed. not one drunk thing about me.

weird. can anyone explain this?

or, do you have any similar anicdotes to tell so i dont feel like such a sober freak?

nope sorry you're a sober freak!
kidding! i get migraines a few times a year and they are HELL but i havent found anything that helps with easing the pain alcohol could be a good idea 'cept i dont drink anymore lieing in the dark doesnt help as i dont have anything for my eyes to focus on but having the light on is a killer so im stuck with it either way. i suppose i could have the light on and wear sunglasses...

Normally my migranes start in the morning so i dont drink for them either, seems too much like alcoholism to drink in the morning.

So i have your problem too. I hate lying the the darkened room as well. the sunglasses work though. I look like a freak watching TV with dark glasses on but hey, it's my home!

Guess i'm just a freaky person

Me + Kitty are dirty alcoholics, we once had a massive party, and in the morning, at about 10am, we got up, cracked open a lager each and drank all day.

When Kelly's three year old sister once pointed to my beer and asked what it was, Kelly told her it was "Graham's Dirty Beer". Know when ever I see her, she doesnt call me Graham, she calls me Dirty Beer. Cheers Kelly....

I'll drink for a party, it's drinking alone in the morning thats the alcoholic thing.
