The Migraine Blues

[corva_nera]

Anyone out there know of any good migraines remedies? My husband suffers from severe migraines that are growing more severe and more frequent by the month. He has tried everything from seeing a neurologist to taking prescription drugs, from getting acupuncture to doing yoga, from quitting caffeine to taking vitamins. If you have a good migraine

I have someone on my friends list who has had severe headaches for years. Exercise has helped him, as has medicinal use of marijuana, although his team of doctors has been unable to determine exactly what it is that causes the headaches. He's been out of work for years on disability (he's Canadian), although he has recently been able to go back to school.

Chronic, severe headaches or migraines are apparently fairly common and stubborn to treat. Diet changes of varying kinds, exercise, natural/homeopathic remedies, eastern medicine, etc. could all help.

So, I'm sorry I don't really have a good migraine remedy story, just to stick with it and hopefully he will find something that works for him! Maybe he's allergic or overly sensitive to something really common, like a food additive or preservative, a household cleaning product, or hygiene product?

Good luck and I wish your husband the best.

Thanks for the well wishes! I've recently started thinking that medicinal marijuana might help as I've known people who used it to relieve the pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. We have not ruled out allergies yet; with his luck, he is probably allergic to his favorite edible, sugar!

He recently found information that posited migraines were the result of too much kundalini. Like me, he is a 1° so maybe meditation/workings will help.

Thanks again!

I tend to have migraines a good bit and the best thing i have found so far is when you start to feel it coming take two Advil Migraine Liqui-Gel caps. So far it has worked for the large majority for me and I would recommend them to anyone. The biggest thing with them is to make sure you take them the moment you feel it coming though.
