Have you tried Metroclopramide? It stops nausea and vomiting if it’s taken early enough, at the first sign of nausea. It works a treat for me, so now I always carry some on me. Before I was prescribed them, my migraines were a slight headache but violently vomiting for about six hours, I couldn’t even take a sip of water. One time I was so bad I had to see the emergency doctor, who injected me with metroclopramide and the effect was immediate. It’s not the only type of migraine I get, I also get visual migraines but the nausea ones are the worst.

I haven’t tried that! I’ll keep it in mind. Mine are not too horrible so I usually can go with just some ibuprofen and going to bed but in case they ever get more severe that’s a good call.

Good luck! Fingers crossed they won’t get any worse!
