migraines

i am currently in the 3rd day of a migraine. i have had headaches my whole life, so this is not something new, but MAN do they get old! i have always said that i loved being pregnant...one reason being that i don't get headaches then?! anywho, i have done my usual regiment of excederin, then maxalt (my migraine medication), then onto vicodin when that doesn't help. it doesn't fix the headache, but i don't notice it as much. some other things that i usually know to try: sleep (just took a 3 hour nap with the boys!), eat...or change what i am eating, drinking more (water, that is), and caffiene. sometimes it just has to run its course. so, anyone out there with the same affliction? any other ideas on what might help? i have gone to the chiropracter in the past and that does improve it while i continue to go. i also do ice packs and occasionally heat strips if it seems to be muscular. i REALLY don't want to go onto daily medications for preventative care...i can't remember to do anything once a day! as i am writing this i just realized something bigger than my headache in the room...i don't think that i have ever prayed about it. huh, maybe that would be a good idea.
