Migraine headache

What is the best enema for a severe migraine? Coffee enemas help but is there a better enema recipe or a better way of taking an enema or series of enemas? Maybe a combination of coffee and something else or a different type altogether? Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Way back in the early 70s, I used to get migraine or cluster headaches like every other day. I used just warm water for enemas for them. It was the only thing that relieved them. Even drugs didn't make them go away. I had them for 2 yrs & they just disappeared after 2 yrs.

You want to use coffee for headaches? I would not see why this would work. Probably just a regular salt water is best for this, or maybe try chamomile tea.

I think the caffeine has an effect on headaches whether you drink it or squirt it up your ass. It does work but then again so does aspirin.

Enemas for headaches have been advocated for many decades. I certainly benefit from an enema for a variety of maladies. Perhaps there's a placebo effect and the science still hasn't verified the benefit of enemas for anything but a quick dispatch of constipation.

Coffee enemas are enjoyable for me. Holding a warm coffee enema for 15-20 minutes helps induce a state of relaxation, I don't experience any rush from the caffeine. Other common solutions are also enjoyable! If other efforts are ineffective, why not try an enema?

I had a girlfriend who had a migraine problem. I would give her two Excedrin to take and ten minutes later a warm coffee enema. Sometimes I would crush two aspirin and give it in a coffee enema which she would hold for twenty to thirty minutes. I would help her to get an orgasm while the enema was inside her which helped even more.

Almost all the heavy duty meds given for head ache contain caffeine. Especially those with some additives ie T3 a small codeine blast., acetaminophen too

In the clamour to slow fentanyl deaths the MAN has taken away many pain relievers, from people like me diagnosed treated pain syndromes

At least our health care systems allow morphine and the like to terminally ill patients

I absolutely cannot take any sort of enema for headache relief. I get so excited and aroused from the thought and feel of the enema and it increases the blood pressure in my head. That just doubles the pain. When every time your heart beats you wince and nearly double over in pain, it doesn’t make for a very enjoyable experience. That’s a bit more pain than I want for a day.

I introduced Imitrex to my area when it was released for migraine treatment. True migraines are a result of the blood vessels in the brain dilating to the point that intra-vascular fluid leaks out into the surrounding tissues, causing migraine pain. The best way to treat them is to introduce a substance that will make those vessels contract ; hence, Imitrex was released. It constricts ALL blood vessels in the human HEAD. Thus the warning that the patient may feel constriction the neck blood vessels.

Traditionally, migraine meds. contained ergotamine alkaloids that had some effect on head blood vessels. Also caffeine raises all blood pressure and has some effect on migraines.

During my training to sell Imitrex, I never heard of anyone using enemas as an effective method; whether with coffee, or anything else. I suspect the "placebo effect" is in effect here.

Many people will call ANY bad headache a "migraine". Not true! Tension headaches CAN be more painful than true migraines. To be a real migraine, there must be visual disturbances, like light sensitivities, color intensities, auras, etc. Nausea is often also present and some patients cannot tolerate ANY room light at all.

I don't suffer Migraine!

One of my best friends from college DOES.

If you have been diagnosed with Migraine, you probably have had other symptoms than just headache.

It is an autoimmune disorder.

There are now REAL treatments that treat the disease, not just the symptoms.

My friend is on one of those new treatments and has not had a flareup since she has been on it.

You need to have a long conversation with a doctor that goes way beyond headaches and stomach upset.

If your General practitioner won't take the time with you, ask for a referral to an Endocrinologist.

Don't assume any recurring bad headache is migraine.

My friend experiences severe migraines and one time had to go to the ER for relief. I felt sorry for her as she was subject to quick exam after undressing for a gown, and then received a shot in her bottom, which did seem to help, if one doesn't mind the exposure. There is something about waiting outside those cubicles and overhearing the nurses instruct patients on what to do that does make for some enjoyment. I am sure for the patient, its not that at all, but as the bystander, it was very rewarding.

I had a family member that suffered from severe migraines. The other symptoms that went with it were extreme sensitivity to light and noise and sometimes nausea. When it gets bad enough and you can't function, you would bare anything to get relief and make it go away. A shot in the bare bottom is worth the relief they told me.

I can understand the ER doing a "quick exam", just to CYA, but someone with a classic migraine exhibits classic symptoms which should be easy for any ER doctor to see after a few questions are answered. I am curious as to why the need to undress and put on an exam gown and also just what that "quick exam" consisted of.

I suffer with migraine headaches I take Imitrex for them. But when a migraine is coming on I get sensory auras that go along with it ie (the smell of something rotten) But when the headache starts I just want to bury my head under a pillow and just try and sleep it off. I don't get nausea all the time but when I do it makes everything 2 times worse. I don't know if other people have problems taking the Imitrex but some times this drug causes me to have jaw pain, that is why I wait until I can't stand the pain anymore and take the Imitrex. 😢

I occasionally get Ophthalmic migraines. They last about ten minutes and while I don't get a headache following it, I do feel like I need to rest a bit.

I have had 2 friends with migraines who went to the ER several times for Demerol injections, They both became addicted to Demerol. (Demerol is a synthetic opioid)

Kid, the side effects on Imitrex are listed as neck and jaw pain and a feeling of slight choking in the neck. This happens because the drug constricts ALL vessels in the head, not just the cranial vessels..

Thanks Jimmy T I thought I might be allergic to the Imitrex.
