Migraines.....I HATE them! And I don't like the word "hate", but migraines are one thing that I loathe. I got an email from my sister this morning saying that she was sick again (migraine), couldn't keep anything down and was heading to bed. I'm sad to say that today we had more in common than our shared DNA. Today we both suffered from migraines.
I have been a migraine sufferer for more than 17 years now. 17 years!! I had come to the conclusion that my migraines were hormone related, for the most part. Occasionally, I have a migraine for a different reason.
My hubby laughs at me in the summertime. He says that he knows when I begin to overheat.... my entire body language changes and my face turns bright red. He says that slowly the devil begins to emerge. Yesterday, my Mom and I took a long walk before the day heated up too much (it was only in the 80s during our walk!!). I have overheated before and the result- a migraine. In the past, I thought the migraine was caused by dehydration. Yesterday, I drank plenty and still got sick. My new realization- overheating=migraine!! YAY for me considering we are in the midst of temps reaching the mid 90s! It looks like my love of summer (insert much sarcasm here) continues! I am officially a hermit.
Any ideas how to treat or get rid of migraines all together, please let me know!! My sister and I will be forever grateful.
In Him,
E

I am on a daily prescription medicine to help prevent chronicmigraines. Occasionally one will break through though and what helps me is Fever Few. I get it at GNC. My doctor also said to take 800 mg of magnesium a day.
I hate migraines too by the way.:)

Keep that AC on! They are so miserable...I dealt with them for about 10 years. Mine were hormone related as well and a Consistent sleeping pattern made a huge difference for me.
hey..wow we have way tooo much in common : ) i also have chronic migraines..hormone induced as well as light, stress and white foods-white pot., white rice, weird I know..I take meds. for it also..hate taking them but loath migraines more than meds..praying you find help for yours..will be blog stalking to see if any ideas come up that I might try : )
I'm with ya... My migrianes are triggered by heat, sugar and stress. They are NO FUN... and well, living in the south calls for summers full of them... : ( I'm to the point now that I'm about to call my doctor for something to take for them... as I have been dealing with them for 25 years now.
hey, i had migraines too, but found out that going to the chiropractor has completely cured me of them!!! i go once every 6 weeks and i haven't had one in probably 5 years or more!!! and it makes everything else, body related, feel better too!! it's worth a shot, cause most headaches, including migraines, are nerve related and that's what the chiro fixes...nerve issues!!!! hope this helps!!
I also suffer from migraines, and i don't know anyone who loves them! I switched to the birth control shot and have only had 1 migraine in the last year.
