Good Luck, Marilyn. Migraines also run in my family (my Dad's side). Once I started trying the herbs, and massage I started feeling better. Then I started watching my eating habits and stressors. They all help some but I couldn't deal with them all at once. Weather and hormones are about the only things I can't control that still affect them. I actually started looking at natural remedies for other issues when my DR was baffled and running out of things to try. Now I wish I had been brave enough to try it sooner.

Something to try though! I'm willing to try something/anything until = this gets taken care of! I'll look into it today. Thank you!

Marilyn, apparently migraines are related to the stomach somehow even if food is not the trigger. A friend of mine was having migraine type aura's and then stomach problems but no head pain and couldn't figure out what was going on. When she was finnaly able to get more help it turned out it was *painless* migraines. One of the drugs that is being used here to treat migraines and has worked for me was developed for stomach problems. They found out it relieved migraine pain when they would give it to calm nausea before giving the painkiller in emergency rooms. I never used the fenugreek alone but always with the thyme so it could be that the combination helps in ways that one would not. Caffeine triggers mine sometimes but usually it is hormonal (2 per month that tell me where in my cycle I am and many during the early months of pregnancy when I could not take the prescription meds). I have also found repeatedly that what works for one oesn't always work for another even in the same family. Hopefully you find something that works.

There was something in the news here recently -- I missed it -- but being someone who gets about 8 migraines a month lasting usually 3 days each I'd hoped to find the news link. My pattern typically is that I awaken with a Migraine, only occasionally do they begin when I'm awake. So I don't think mine are related to particular foods. Anyway, regarding the news:

There is "supposedly" a miracle "procedure" that cures the problem in a huge percentage of individuals. I can't find the feature hard as I tried. Also, a couple years back I heard something about a procedure in the mouth that "cured" migraines. Don't know if this is the same idea or not. Must research more. Did find this interesting tidbit from my local news source which I've pasted below:

"Migraine sufferers have common gene

"Two Italian scientists have discovered a gene linked to severe migraine, a finding they say could pave the way to banishing not only migraines, but everyday headaches as well. The scientists spent four years screening the genetic makeup of six generations of a migraine-prone family and found they all had a gene in common."

!!! if you eat the wrong things, the effects might set in later.

there could also be a tendency for the wrong chemicals to accumulate or things might accumulate the wrong way in the presence of certain other factors: so do not expect a cause-effect type of discovery.

have you seen the diet at

that is very probable, but you cannot just wait and do nothing until they find out.
