Help!

Fortunately this doesn't happen often, but every now and again I get a migraine.  Sinus headaches all the time - I know how to deal with them.  But migraines... nothing seems to work & all I can do is retire to a dark, quiet room & pray to fall asleep.  I've tried all sorts of medicine - none of it works for me so I don't take anything now, except an icepack to the head. 

So... any recommendations for poses to relieve migraine pain?  (Keeping in mind that I'm a relative beginner - I can't do headstands or anything like that!)  I looked for some on yogajournal.com, and they have poses for "headache"... but migraine is just so much more than a mere headache!

Grazie,

Yep, that pretty much describes it.   Actually I can't stand to look at the computer any longer - my vision is all fuzzy & the pain is too much, so I'll have to check back later... I'm off to a very dark room & the dog had better not bark, that's all I've got to say!  (Actually he's usually very keen to know when I'm in pain or upset and "takes care" of me - often he brings me his toys - isn't that adorable?!)

Alright, I'm off - back later!

Namaste!
