Migraines,cant sleep?

ever since i was little it took me forever to fall asleep
example:ill get into bed at 10:30 and i wont go to bed til 11-12
even though im very tired
or ill try to go to bed earlier and ill just lay there
i always have headaches,or really bad migraines

this runs in my family
migraines and not being able to sleep


am i having the same problem as my mom?
all my doctor reccomended was aleve and drinking lots of water


i do that anyway....

is there a specialist i can see about this?

Try to keep a cold gel pack in the freezer and apply this to the back of your neck/head when you get a migraine attack. This really helps me. If I am out when I get an attack I buy and ice lolly or ice cream as the cold helps to cool the hypothalmus and can alievate an attack. However you still need to take your meds ( I take Imitrex (sumatriptan) )and a good pain killer such as ibuprofen. NSAID's or anti-inflammatories work best as migraine is vascular but they do have some side affects so speak to your Dr to check they are okay for you.
Ask your Dr for Imitrex (sumatriptan) this drug is a god send for me but really only good if you have migraine with aura which I do.
Fever few also helps but you have to take it daily - the tincture drops are best. Again speak to your Dr about taking this.
Good Luck!

I am not sure how old you are, or your weight but I take Excedrin migraine (2 of them and if I can't get to them fast enough I have to take 3)- they are the only thing that works for me. I have tried chocolate, and caffeine which people say work but have not for me. I also apply pressure to the side of my temple where the pain is which helps relieve some pain- good luck!~
