3rd weekend in a row that I've wound up with debilitating migraine for 12hrs+.. looking for any and all remedies. I did start taking a magnesium supplement which seemed to help throughout the week (as I usually get at least 2-3 times a week). I'm talking I have to curl up in a dark room, head spinning, auras, etc. What has worked for you? I may wind up going back to doctor for imatrex but I live on excedrin and it has done diddly squat for days like these... thank you in advance!
Magnesium and staying very hydrated seems to work well for me. Coconut water and plenty of high ph water. You can also try Pedialyte and Liquid IV powder too. My sympathies and good luck!
Yes I'm gonna start trying those IV deals because I definitely have issues keeping up with water. Probably gonna get one of those big bottles with time of day on them to keep track better.
better half advised me to take some Midol. Took 2 and made a hell of a difference and I didn't have to lie in the fetal position for hours.
I never had them until after covid. The spike proteins cause it.
This is helping me.
Spike Detox Goes Mainstream: First-Ever Protocol Appears in U.S. Medical Journal
Here's the published protocol for getting better:
• Nattokinase: 2000 fibrin units (100 milligrams) orally twice a day without food
• Bromelain: 500 milligrams orally once a day without food
• Curcumin: 500 milligrams orally twice a day (nano, liposomal, or with piperine additive suggested)

Yes I think that's simply because of the added caffeine to it too but I may have to switch over from excedrin for a bit so my body can go back to it being helpfulQuote:

Also don’t store or leave bottled water in hot cars - the plastic will leach chemicals regardless. In addition, a good 3M Allergen Air Filter is a benefit. Ensure you least ventilate for fresh air once per week or two. Hopefully Cedar Trees aren’t near you. Don't forget .. the late model cars has 'Cabinet Air Filter' placed inline your vehical's vent system. This cabinet air filter is owner DIY replaceable too. An occasional Neil-Med Nasal Rinse helps flush out the Austin’s pollens too. A Craniosacral Therapy helps if you can find a true professional. Lastly, consult with Ms.JadeRose about her healthy, organic fresh juicing experiences. Of course, Coconut water is good. Tho it is a lot to share here, but is drug free. I look forward to seeing you someday. ��
I get cluster headaches which aren't migraines (they're somehow worse!) and I take a daily verapamil (prescription) but it has completely gotten rid of the headaches for me. Verapamil can also work on migraines I've read but I'd recommend finding a neurologist that knows more than the average doctor about headaches that would be more likely to prescribe it or something more out of the box like it. Verapamil can take a couple weeks to start working so make sure you have an abortive system in place like imitrex nasal spray or injection while it builds up in your system if you try it.
Good luck.
I have been told that having 69 with me will solve most migraine problems. JK.
Hope you're feeling better and able to attend the CK social this evening.
I would enjoy meeting you...
My dumbass mixed up the dates and was thinking it was Friday (no idea how or why but sometimes my days just roll together unless I'm looking at a calender about something specifically) but I do hope and plan on making it to the next one for sure! I've always avoided them because I'm born and raised here and the crowd was always significantly older than me when I used to go a couple times in Eccie days so I stand out like a sore thumb. I do wish they would bring the cash poker game parties back though! I did love being one of the 2 ladies who were actually playing at the table with the boys lol would thoroughly enjoy meeting you as well!Quote:

Unless, there is someone wanting to set something up. Suggest home with room for poker table, extra space for meeting and greeting, and most of all, understanding neighbors who don't get excited about a private house party once a month. It's a big ask and the special guy who had that capability moved from ATX. Z--we miss you.
Yup Ztonk right?! Couldn't remember the handle to save my life for a minute but yeah ever since they added the tournament houses I've heard the cash game scene has since disappeared mostly. I used to game girl at a few of them 10 years ago which is where I learned how to play and my massage skills. Those were definitely my favorite. More private and always lots of fun to be had afterwards :)Quote:

They say to AVOID:
Caffeine
Artificial sweeteners
Alcohol
Chocolate
Foods containing MSG
Cured meats
(Cured meats — including deli meats, ham, hot dogs, and sausages — all contain preservatives called nitrates, which preserve color and flavor. These foods can release nitric oxide into the blood, which is thought to dilate blood vessels in the brain.
There’s some evidenceTrusted Source that nitric oxide can cause or contribute to migraines)
Aged cheeses
(Common cheeses that are high in tyramine include:
feta
blue cheese
Parmesan)
Pickled and fermented foods
(Like aged cheeses, pickled and fermented foods can contain high amounts of tyramine. These foods include:
pickles
kimchi
kombucha (which can also have alcoholic content)
pickled okra
pickled jalapeños)
Frozen foods
Salty foods
They say:
massage therapy, could lower the frequency of migraine attacks....
biofeedback, teaches you how to check physical responses of stress, like muscle tension...
vitamin B2 (riboflavin), can help prevent migraine episodes....
& magnesium supplements...
I hope this helps and you find relief soon - xoxo Deja
Thank you girly!Quote:

Did you know there's like a special green light bulb that's supposed to help?! I thought it was neat!
Good list from Deja. Avoid caffeine as a matter of routine since it's a vasoconstrictor and can start the migraine cascade. But, ironically, caffeine can break an attack once it starts because it constricts the now dilated blood vessels in the brain. So watch coffee, chocolate, sodas, etc. I know, no fun :( You could also consider an herb that is OTC called feverfew to be taken every day if you don't want to rely on prescription meds. It does not abort an attack, just potentially reduces the severity and/or frequency of attacks. I've seen decent results in a lot of migraine sufferers. It works by keeping the blood vessels in the brain from going so wonky. Takes a few weeks to kick in. Good luck!
I am on meds to handle migraines, and the generics for imitrex are great and even after DECADES of using them mostly work if you catch migraines in time. One other medical remedy that has worked on/off for me for years is taking one each Excedrin and Advil migraine (they are 2 different meds so attack it 2 different ways)
Definitely going to try the ad I'll migraine because I've definitely built up a tolerance to excedrin at this point.Quote:

Is it true that standing up and soaking your feet in the hottest water you can handle will cure your migraine because the heat will draw the blood to your feet, easing the pressure on the blood-vessels in your head. They say "If the headache is extreme, try adding hot mustard powder, which can make the soak even more effective."
I take propranolol and it helps tremendously. Not sure if you could get a script but it's one of the only things that's worked for me
Beautiful
Look up the dizzy cook on IG
Life saving information available
Dr Behn is the go to neurologist in Texas
I take a once a month migraine injection Aimovig
I was diagnosed with vestibular migraines : October thru December are the most difficult months for me. Weather changes, barometric pressure changes, allergens, additional noise at local grocery and retail stores due to holidays.
Beautiful
Also think about the following ..
Have you changed shampoos, conditioners or body washes, or laundry soap ?
Have you added a fragrance to your car, home or work place : example wall plugs with fill in fragrance, candles ? ( filled with toxic chemicals ) some times it’s select scents of candles that cause migraines.
Have you changed cleaning chemicals ?
Have you started, stopped, changed birth control ?
Journal .. you will figure out your migraine trigger
Sending .. love, compassion, kindness and understanding ..
Caffeine is a vasodilator. It is found in OTC migraine medicatiom. Regular advil and red bull are great to push out headaches. Hydration only occurs when salt is present to pull the water into your organs, otherwise you are drinking water just to piss. Anything brined/pickled isbgoid because of the salt content. Also banans are full of potassium too. Making sure your blood sugar is regulated is important. Stay away from sugar and cured meat(salami, pepperoni, ham, etc).
Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, not vasodilator. That's why it helps with migraines from dilated blood vessels.Quote:

Thank you again for all the recommendations! They've certainly helped and I've been getting them less frequently now, some days are better than others. I've started drinking a glass a day of this water mixture that just has pink Himalayan sea salt mixed in (small amount to where its not noticeable.
Try being a little less crazy? Might provide you some mental relief. lmao
I thought I was on ignore sweetheart? Buy yawn, your trolling is just boring at this point hun. Hopefully you find some peace this year though and if you're just that obsessed with me and want to fuck it out we can try that too, but I call top ;)Quote:
