- Try To Stay Clear Of The Steroids

[Guest guest]

I made the terrible mistake of letting them give me a

steroid injection a couple months ago & I suffered for

over a month after that. It's not worth the gamble.

, problems affecting the brain and things with

our head are very scary. When I started experiencing

migraines,(clusters) it scared me because my

great-grandmother

had a brain tumor removed and then it later grew back.

No one has ever found brain tumors in my brain, but

it's a good reason to get an mri or ctscan every now

and then to be on the safe side.

Now,my most recent neurologist stated that the

migraines can be one of the symptoms of ms because the

brain is also a muscle and capable of being affected

with spasms, which cause the bloodflow irregularities

that contribute migraines. She said, anywhere you have

a muscle, ms can cause spasticity and that would

include your brain.

I also consider a possible future aneurysm from all of

the migrains and I hope to keep that from happening.

My remedy to many of my pains and neck spasms is a

wonderful Japanese invention " Salon Pas " , little

adhesive medicine pads. By osmosis, aspirin is going

directly where it needs to. If I put them on my neck,

I know the aspirin will make it up to my brain & help

thin down blood. Salon Pas may not be for anyone who

is really trying to be purist, but they work great for

me. They are mentholated. When I have the pain similar

to what you describe, I stick the Salon Pas on the

muscle that extends up my neck to the area between my

ear and where my jaw begins. I also apply equally

along the spine as needed, depending on what area is

affected.

I also consider that the Salon Pas may have some

similar affects as the beesting therapy when the

patches are pulled off. I would suggest to anyone to

test this theory at least once. They are not costly

where I reside, hopefully also a good bargain for you

all.

Regarding the beesting therapy, I also understand that

other alternatives that are said to work similarly are

vibration therapy and being hit with stinging nettle.

I am going to try the latter soon when I can find the

means. Has anyone else tried this?
