I used to have them, still do in-fact. My cures were: Lots of water (I know you can't, but I mean, try to get in 2 liters a day or more), Meditation (I wouldn't do this, I have been told it's not Islamic, but I do not know), Breathing Exercises (If you want more info, just pm me), and Exercise.

Drinking lots of Water is what I usally do. Maybe i should start to learn to breath.:><:

...I am talking about Breathing Exercises that you can do for a lot of sports, I know a few swimmers that do it, and a couple of boxers/mma'ers that do it too, because they have issues with Mouth guards covering their breathing and changing it.

Some things to do are:

1. Get a Mouth Guard, not a insured one, a 6-10$ one at a local store. Start practicing breathing in it, I do it for about 30 mins, I started out at 5 mins, and pushed it up 5 mins a week. I do it usually 2x a day.

2. Just separate breathing from deep breathes to short fast breathes, for like 10-20 mins.

3. Get a Wind Forcer, which is like, something that forces you to breath harder, it's like a balloon, this helped me some, of course gave me a headache after doing it for too long lol.

Them helped me, I can't guarantee they will help you.

To tell you the truth,my sister goes to doctors and from what I've observed is that all they do is increase the dose if your condition becomes worse.

Pshycologists do this a lot.

The dangerous part is that the doctors go by symptoms. They tend to be wrong sometimes by pronouncing the person with a wrong diagnosis.

But brothers and sisters you should be thankful to Allah that you go through this. For every pain you get rewarded.

In my case, I don't feel hungy at all which is not as beneficial.

3 – Fasting enables us to control our desires, because when a person is full his desires grow, but if he is hungry then his desire becomes weak. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O young men! Whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and protecting one’s chastity. Whoever cannot do that, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him.”

I'm happy the articles helped.

I got some of the worse migraines last winter for about a week and so, and then it came back after two months or so. I've never felt such pain in my entire life. I had migraines with auroras.

I didn't take any medications, I just prayed to Allah. The migraines stopped (all praises to Allah). May Allah heal those who are sick.

I was under a lot of stress, so try not to stress a lot.

I can not image enduring such pain very day. May Allah heal and easy the pain of the Muslims.

Ramadan Kareem

that is not true at all. Dosages are increased based on appropriateness, there is an entire science dedicated to Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
you may read about it here: http://www.boomer.org/c/p1/
It is not a random decision.. there are algorithmic rules, Given that many drugs in and of themselves cause the side effects and at higher dosages can be lethal!
I can't imagine any doctor simply increasing the dose because they felt like it, or because someone wasn't responding .. it is a decision based on sound judgment!
Pshycologists do this a lot.

Psychologists aren't medical doctors, thus they are not allowed to write prescriptions, how can they increase dosages when they aren't board licensed or qualified to dispense medications?

That is not true either.. Some diagnosis are made purely on clinical presentation, but 'symptoms' is a nondescript term for a host of diseases.. wrong diagnosis are sometimes made but to err is human.. it isn't due to the reasons you mention.. and there is a tenuous process to insure that errors aren't made or kept at a minimum!

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

I meant that, when your condition becomes worse the doctors just increase the dose of the medication, not just because they feel like it, but because the person tells them that they're worse. That's what my mothers doctor does. The reason I complain about this is because I feel like medicine is unhealthy and I wish that there were other solutions.

There are pshycologist who are M.D.,or am I mestaken?
When my sister goes to her pshycologist, If she is worse than from her last visit, she tells an other doctor who prescribes medicine to increase her dose.

Thanks

Medicine doesn't offer cures to many conditions, rather it improves the quality of life and severity of symptoms.. If a person had hypertension or diabetes etc, they have those for life.. there is no undoing them.. the only thing we can do in medicine is use pharmacological agents or surgery as a last resort.. you will find 'herbal' treatments even less effective, since all medications have to go through FDA approval and phases of clinical trials. Herbal or alternative medicine is exempt from that and as a result hundreds of thousands of people die yearly of abuse of these so called healthy over the counter medications, which neither alleviates their symptoms, provide cure for their condition nor does it provide safety from its own harmful side effects.. Everything we ingest is a xenobiotic that needs detoxification by the body!
Nonetheless, in Medicine there is autonomy and no one can force anyone to proper medical treatments if they refuse it.

A psychiatrist not a psychologist is an MD and can prescribe meds..

I don't know what medications your sister is on, but if she is in fact experiencing worst symptom then it is best to have the doctor explain the use of the medications as well its adverse profile. Many of the medications we take happen to work at the price of something else, but then again, it is a matter of benefits vs. risks..

Assalmu Alikum.

A psychologist cannot prescribe medicine. They can carry out interviews and perform certain tests.
