text: what relieves a migraine? need to know what relieves a migraine turn off the lights in your bathroom and take a bath as hot as you can stand it. this works excelent for me. but sometimes if i dont stay in the tub long enough  my headache will come back. stay away from lights and tv. and do not sit in front of your computer. sitting in front of your computer will make the headache worse from making your eyes adjust to the small screen and the light from the monitor doesnt help either.
