Re: here/Migraine

[Guest guest]

, Glad to hear you are better! A trip to the Hospital due to

migraine or seizures related to migraine is bad news.

Weird though... i havent been online this week until now because i

had a migraine from Monday afternoon thru last night. I finally woke

up without one this morning. I've pretty much been a zombie all week

myself, so i can totally relate (to everything bu the seizure.

DH came down with one too Tuesday - he wasnt sure if it was real or

just sympathy.

I tried PP Monday and Tuesday, with no affect whatsoever, and i think

my was not chemical but physical (AKA i need an adjustment too!)

Anyway one thing i tried that did bring some comfort and relief

during the peak... In addition to icing my neck, i had DH put

some " Traumeel " on my neck and jaw where the majority of the pain was

coming from. My theory was the Traumeel is for inflamtion and pain,

and the migraine was from stress and the gel reduced the inflamation

in my neck and jaw and also had some soothing properties. It worked,

It reduced the intensity of the pain to where i could at least try to

rest. I would have used Arnica Gel, but we couldnt find it.

Anyway, baby yourself today, even though you feel better..migraines

are nasty and sneaky and have a way of creeping back in the first 24

to 36 hours.

flourescent lights in both of my work places (and our home kitchen as

well), could be stress. Or all three. My diet has been pretty good.

Raw, fruits/veggies/nuts, lots of water for the most part, fresh

juiced apple juice. No alcohol, cigarettes (I don't smoke anyway, but

also try to not be around when someone else is smoking), no sugar or

unsprouted grains, very little salt (only what is present in the food

I eat).

Well that might be totally true for because i had that problem

when we lived in San Diego as the mold problem could jump from one

day to the next depending on humidty etc and I beleive is in one

of those areas.

There have been drastic temp changes here, and we are in monsoon

season (YAEH!) but this is the desert and ANY preciptation we get is

quicky absorbed by Everything and then GONE! Mold while possible, is

unlikely.

I really think mine was skelital or physical rather than chemical

imbalance (which would include mold) My stress levels have been very

high due to work and finances and i have a tendacy to drit or grind

the teeth (TMJ) now that things are tapering off, and i spent the

last few days papmering/aromatherapy, etc. i am feeling a bit more

relaxed.

But again...awesome fact to point out, because i know that one to be

true.

line with us...rofl... sorry I couldn't help myself... i'm glad

you're feeling better...

> which brings up an interesting question... where you and

are.... has the weather been crazy... hot and cold, barometric

pressure changes... etc... sometimes (so I was told long ago) that

major changes in weather conditions day to day or so can sometimes

trigger a migraine especially in areas with high mold/allergen

counts... now I don't know how true this is... an old professor told

me this years ago... it just popped up in my brain with your post

after 's episode.
