This situation has affected more than 10 million people in the UK. It can change the future, ultimately career and shrink the world. So when a hack appears, it can "heal" or at least resist migraines, and people will try it.

Although there is medication, it cannot be cured. Prescription medications can be very effective - but not always. For many people, there is no easy solution.

How some people find their pain: sit in a hot bath, put on an ice bag, drink a smoothie, and blow up the sides of their face with a hairdryer.

But now a new hacker suddenly spreads - McMain Meal. For hundreds of people who praise their virtues on Tiktok, a simple serving of whole fat cola and a portion of salted chips seem to be doing this.

If there is any science behind these hacks - what does they do to the body?

Nick Cook of Oxfordshire revolves around “a drug-filled wallet” in the event of a migraine attack. He said he would "try anything" to make the pain go away.

“When you live in this situation and you need a five-day week, you need to keep going and you will do everything you can.”

In the worst case, the pain around Nick's eye socket would feel like his eyeball was crushed. He said it was the caffeine and sugar in Coke that could help him.

“If I grab it as soon as possible, it sometimes works when my vision becomes blurred and I feel someone.”

He stressed that drinking cola would not replace his amitriptyline tablets – a daily painkiller that he tried to prevent migraines – but sometimes it did help him “to the end of the day.”

For Kayleigh Webster, he has suffered from chronic migraines throughout his life, which is the attack that the salt on the fries could slow down.

She said cautiously: “This can help you, but it’s certainly not a cure.

"Migra is a complex neurological disease - in fast food foods, a small amount of caffeine, salt and sugar don't cure it."

Kayleigh tried cocktails with different medicines, putting his feet in hot water, fleece at the back of the head, acupuncture, cupping - but they don't do much.

One of the few treatments given her relief was medical Botox - dozens of injections on the head, face and neck. It is not clear how Botox can be used for migraines, but it is believed to prevent powerful pain signals from being released from the nerves.

Migraines - days that can last - are very different from headaches, which are often short-lived and can be treated more easily with painkillers such as paylmethylmethanol (such as paylmethyl). Migraines can cause headaches, neck pain, numbness, blurred vision and even affect speech and movement.

Skulls dating back to 3,000 B.C. show that ancient Egyptians were even in trouble with migraines – but despite their long history, the exact cause of them remains unknown.

This is the pain receptors in the blood vessels and the nerve tissue around the brain that are fired - sending a false signal that indicates something is wrong. But we don't know why some people have an overly sensitive nervous system - why it doesn't respond to something.

Experts say there is not enough research on why only about one in seven people are affected, or actually helpful.

While there are elements of McMigraine meals that can help avoid attacks, these are not born “McDonald’s”, said Dr. Kay Kennis, a general practitioner specializing in migraine.

"The caffeine in cola can act as a nerve disruptor, it is a substance that affects nerve activity. For some people, this interference works in a positive way."

“People have some painkillers for caffeinated migraines – some respond well to it – but we don’t quite know why.”

But she warned against using caffeinated carbonated drinks, such as Coca-Cola, as a way to manage migraines regularly.

"Too much caffeine can also be a trigger - you may be in a worse situation in the long run," Dr. Kenneth said.

Other ingredients in fast food foods, such as salt on fries, may affect nerve activity, but the effects of sodium on migraines have not been tested yet.

She also warned that not only fast foods are often superprocessed and are not conducive to a healthy diet, but also often contain high levels of tyrosine, a natural compound commonly found in many foods that can cause severe migraines.

And, like many migraine hacks - depending on everyone, they can have the opposite effect.

For Eloise Underwood, there is no quick fix for social media.

Patients with chronic migraine have been looking for "magic cocktails" for seven years - she saw people recommending putting their feet in hot water (not recommended by experts and potentially dangerous); drinking hot coffee (caffeine may be the trigger); or various vibration devices have little effect.

"There are a lot of videos online that can take advantage of the despair of all of us," Eloise explained.

She left several jobs - usually due to lighting and noise in office environments that trigger migraines. She recently stopped working as an interior designer and has now launched a business-urgent wedding flowers from her home.

She wears circulating ear buds to reduce clarity of the sound around her and limit her social life.

“People think migraine is just a headache — it’s just one of those symptoms,” Elois said. “For me, migraine is a whole-body experience…

“Migraines make my life smaller.”

Professor Peter Goadsby, a neurologist at NIHR-KING Clinical Research Institute, said that after years of underfunding, the research began to produce positive results.

His latest research suggests that a drug called Gepant may prevent a group of pain receptors from being caused by a migraine attack, cutting the pain off before it begins.

“Any new treatment is a flash of hope,” Elois said. “They do say nothing works for everyone – but there is something that works for someone.”

Professor Goadsby explained that lifestyle changes can also make a difference. It might be boring, he said, but basically - "Be careful with your brain."

“You want to be regular and avoid highs and lows. If you can feel the warning signs – yawning, lethargy, mood changes, more urine, and even craving for salt and sugar – listen to your body.

"Listen to your body - don't listen to Tiktok, this is my advice."

Nick has been doing this all the time. He might reach for the weird coke and salty fries, but his whole life has shaped his own migraine.

"I don't drink, even if it's cloudy, I wear sunglasses," he said. "I'm not crazy. When my partner and I walk away, half of what we do is help us manage our migraines."

Nick notices the real difference between his life and his friend’s life a few weeks ago.

On a recent Bucks weekend, Nick noticed the difference between his and his friends’ lives.

"They're drinking all night," Nick said. "I bring my own pillows, apples, bananas, Weetabix and any snacks I need to keep going, because hunger can be a major trigger.

“I was in bed before midnight – but my partner knew me, it was OK because that’s how I had to live.”
