Tips on Migraine Relief

[Nikose Tyris]

Tips for getting rid of those, since my mother and I suffer from those too:

- stop with chinese food. We've found that by dropping MSG from our diets, we get these headaches so much less frequently. Takes about a month for it to take hold.

- Morphine is your best fuckin' friend. Doctor's note only though, so it won't help you any!

- Induce vomiting, switch to drinking just water and a multivitamin to get you through the period of pain. Forcing yourself to be sick has helped my mother, did -nothing- for me.



ALL ADVICE IS ANECDOTAL AND SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE MISTAKEN FOR ACTUAL MEDICAL ADVICE. SEE A DOCTOR IF FOR ANY REASON YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO. DEBT > DEATH.

Research some acupressure. That's what I generally use for my pain issues, but I learned it through trial and error and can't really coach on it.

I don't get migraines, but I do get a lot of normal headaches. It may not actually be able to help you, but it's worth a shot.

I've noticed a few of those being of help; generally I try and stay away from MSG anyway. I don't really have too much caffeine anymore, though. one or two cups of coffee every few weeks at the most.

I noticed that as a last resort. It wasn't really tactical, though. More of an "I shouldn't have eaten that" moment. Damn hot wings.
As for the water and multivitamin, my habits pretty much took care of those. S'what I get for taking my handful of vitamin pills at dinner.
