Comments on: Battling the Migraine http://groovymojo.com/articles/102 Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:42:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: skybird2 http://groovymojo.com/articles/102#comment-15 skybird2 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:41:53 +0000 http://groovymojo.com/articles/102#comment-15 Hey, nice blog. Just found you via that Magnatune - we are not evil - piece. (Too bad my corp here still thinks they're too evil and blocks the site). Anyway, Migraines. I don't get them much anymore now that I've found out my food allergies... err... I haven't had ONE migraine since. Hmmmm. Last one that I had I remember the lights (in Home Despot) became all weird... I knew that I was losing my sight. Eep! I knew that I had to get home - quick! Instead I grabbed a coffee, a couple of anacins, and headed for the quiet, dark, car. 15 minutes later I was good. As you no doubt know, you either catch it early, or endure the hell. BTW I've since learned that one [major] source of migraine is massive blood flow to the brain (dunno what causes this though). The caffeine - your friend - restricts the blood flow. You're best NOT using aspirin (which increases blood flow) methinks (although I am *not* a doctor). Use acemediphin (oh yeah, like I can spell that!) or codeine. Hey, nice blog.

Not fun... I normally pop 2 ADCO-DOLs or 2 Stilpains, stuff my head under a pillow in a very dark room and make certain the house stays as quiet as possible until it goes away... Usually eases off after I sleep for a few hours.
