Becky, when I first started Enbrel I would also get terrible

headaches. My solution is to take my shot just before bedtime. I have

been lucky enough to wake up in the morning with no headaches since I

started this.

Good luck!

I have migraines all the time. I take Excedrin -- it's the only thing that works

for me. If it doesn't seem to be working, I take it with a beer. Then it always

works. -- Jan O', Alaska.

Can someone tell me how much feverfew to take for a migraine? Does this take the place of an advil/nuprin?

Thanks,

I take 2 Peptizyde (all strong proteases) inbetween meals about

three times a day (mid-morning, mid afternoon, before bed), and I

take 1 Peptizyde with meals particularly if they have casein.

I cannot express how much better life is without chronic head pain.

Used to think I would just have to up-n-die and wait for the

afterlife for that.

Most of my migraines are related to phenols or artificials or yeast.

So if I am eating one of those, or a lot of sugar, I use No-Fenol

enzyme [and add GSE if appropriate] and my headache will either not

happen or be small enough to handle.

No...just pain. Casein is one thing for sure that triggers it.

I think it is, if the nausea is caused by something that the NF helps.

I know NF works well for me for many things which are directly

related to my nasty headaches, altho not all.

Migraines can be a symptom of magnesium deficiency. Have you tried a magnesium

supplement? It has helped my husband.

I would like to thank everyone for help with the migraines, I still have it but,

it's back further, sucker is still hanging in waiting.

I take 900mg of mag a day should I try more?

I haven't received my shipment of no-fenol yet, so we'll try that next time..

and I can't function anymore. It's my whole head, but especially the

neck area and behind the eyes....

For me, this is an EXACT description of my headaches when I eat meat

containing nitrates, or if I have a yeast issue. No-Fenol does not

help me with nitrates but it might help you. I use GSE for yeast.

Good luck.

to much water flushes all the b soluble vitmains and minerals out.

molybdenum and magnesium are good for migraines.

some of this dehydration advice is written for climates with very dry

air which tassie only gets occasionally. when the air is very dry

moisture just steams out of the lungs into the air.

at the end of last term after i had pneumonia i was very tired and got headaches

( i know this is not as bad as migraine) but i mixed water with a tiny bit of

fruit juice for flavour and powdered about half my daily supplements to take in

sips during the day. worked really well, and i am going to continue this. used

a litre of water a day for that.

the blackmores 'balanced b complex' is a very good b with good

ratios.

also lithium asparate appears to be a winner

watering your amalgams?

Barbara and group;

AWE it is so good to hear from you Barbara. You always jump in when

some one is suffering and try to console them. And your very good at

it too. I got an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow for that and

other things too.

My primary doctor has been trying to fix my migrains for almost a

year now. Maybe he should send me to a specialist, if they have

specialists for migrains. I wonder if a neruologist specialize in

migrains.

You know how bad a migraines is I see. I have tried a lot of

different methods to help them. Darken the room helps a lot. And

heat on my neck helps, taking pain meds as soon as they come on

helps. So I know pretty much what to do. If anyone else has any

ideas, please let me know.

They have been hurting me for about 7 months, everyday/ 24/7 unless I

take something to stop it. I havent read anywhere where they last

that long. Of course they stop on their own but that only last for

about 7 hours. I got up this moring migrain free and after about an

hour one begin to start. So I immideatly took a lortab.

It is not hurting now. That is unusual. Maybe the hot pad helped

also, and the dark room. I take my humira shot friday. I get them

every 2 weeks, but if I feel an infection or coming coming on I can't

take it. Everyone learns that when they get the prescription for

humira.

Thank you Barbara I love your post also. Yes hon, I know you love

everyone, that is a beautiful quality of people. It seems like

sometimes people who has a painful disease other painful diseases

want to creep in. RA and migrains are the worst for me. The osteo

and bursitis is bad but the ra and migraines hurt me the most.

The RA is controlled by the humira thank God. I have flares but that

is to be expected. Your a kind and sweet person Barbara and I love

you to hon. God bless and take care

I was on Inderal for years to prevent migraines, but I still got

plenty. I don't think it prevented any, but I was afraid that if I

stopped taking it, I would get even more.

I will be eternally grateful to the doctor who cured my migraines.

Yes one can get some dam bad migraines when hormones are off. E2 is a good one

for this problem and low Cortisol levels.
