Oh, I hope that you're feeling loads better! Being sick sucks big time! = Like Sabrina, I just thought you were being quiet!
M-C
I am 95% better M-C...and migraine for me is a regular occurrence = although this one was a bummer. It was so bad that it has left scalp = sensitivity and an upset tum from too many pain-killers. Other than that = I am fine....LOL
Hope this goes through since my ISP is doing maintenance as of 2200hrs = :o) Marilyn
Oh, I'm so glad to hear that you are doing better. Hopefully the = remnants will go away soon too!

Oh my, I do feel for you. Those migraines are terrible and so debilitating. Massage therapy seems to help. When I was a practicing therapist, I had several clients who suffered from these and I would see them immediately when they felt one coming on. I would work with them until they got relief,no matter how long it took. Sending you good thoughts.

I second the massage for migraines. That was one of the first things that worked for me. (the first was an injection when I landed in emergency with a really bad one when they first started, but I didn't want to go that route all the time). I also found some herbs that helped. I believe they were fenugreek and thyme. I also had to stop taking *all* painkillers and recuring over the counter meds of any kind for a number of months because I was getting rebound headaches. The only meds I took in that time were my asthma meds as needed. I rather go the herbal route for most things anyway. Hope you don't get them often and find something that helps reduce them when they come.
I'm so glad you are feeling better. Take care.

After 40 years of migraine I think I have tried everything out there = Sabrina! Many things will help a little but I have found nothing that = resolves them...the best you can hope for is calming them to a dull ache = :o) My best remedy for the worst pain is cold compress using vinegar = for the forehead, with warm water bottle on the back of the neck, = sipping Tonic Water for the nausea.
I also try to stick to natural remedies Lorilee. Too many pain-killers = can result in rebound headaches and I have gone both the prescribed = route and over-the-counter meds....without success. Since I have = suffered all my life, as did my mother & grandmother, there isn't much I = haven't tried but I must look at the fenugreek and thyme you have = mentioned. I have used fenugreek as an appetite stimulant for the dogs = but haven't studied it at great length for anything else. Must look it = up in my books...thanks for the info!!!!
What triggers your migraines, Marilyn? Maybe if you could find the = trigger, that would help keep them away...for the most part. I know my = few migraines are always triggered by stress. Migraines run in my mom's = family. Both my mom & sister have them. Mom gets them from chocolate, = all chocolate, except white chocolate. My sister gets them from = caffeine, solid & liquid. It kind of kills a lot of their fun, but at = least the migraines pretty much stay away.
Hormone changes are what bring them on Deb...LOL Afraid I have no = control over them and can only hope that in another year or two the = migraines will almost disappear. My Mum still had migraine after = menopause but much less frequently. My maternal grandmother died when my = Mum was eleven, so can't tell if she would have experienced the same = situation. Although my Mum always used to talk about how badly she = suffered from migraine. Food doesn't affect them nor does tea, coffee, = chocolate or cheese. I rarely drink the coffee anyway as it affects my = kidney stones negatively! Sheesh...sounds like I am falling to bits = here...ROFL
