Migraine Sufferers: What are some of the crazy things you have tried to get rid of a migraine?

[Mike03]

I'll bet there are some good stories out there.

In general, Imitrex works for me, but when it doesn't I have:

Drank hot sauce (Pico Pica and Tobasco) straight from the bottle.

Eaten hot peppers.

Snorted ground cayenne pepper.

Eat entire red onions like you would eat an apple.

Done yoga--the full inversions--to try to make the blood rush to my head, then reverse the pose to make it drain out.

Lifted weights, which shunts the blood from the head and neck to the arms and legs.

Slept with my head hanging off the bed.

I've certainly banged my head against a wall, literally, but that's not very original, and I know most migraine sufferers do try that at some point.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some doozies. I'll add them if I remember them.
