Sometimes I get relief by pinching the area on my hand where the most skin is between the thumb and forefinger. I use the thumb and forefinger of the opposite hand and squeeze the nerve and apply a steady pressure. It is somewhat painful, but seems to relieve the pressure of the migraine not permanently, but relief none the less. During a migraine any relief is a blessing.

I noted .. oreo cookies (more than two), a specific gourmet chocolatier, and MSG were all triggers. Limiting my diet has reduced the number of headaches substantially.

If you can find triggers.. you may be able to find relief.
