Life with Migraine

As a migraine victim myself, I can understand how you feel. Unfortunately, there is no cure for migraine. What you can do is to understand what triggers the migraine and try to take steps to prevent it happening for you. For e.g. for me it is the shrill loud noise or flashing lights. That is the reason why I try to avoid driving in the nights or go to music parties or stuff where the music is too loud and blaring!! Cheers! Ram

I totally agree with you. I also have migraine and it hurts like hell. It hurts the most during my Pre menstrual period. Oh how I wish there is a cure for it, so I won't be feeling it again. But I guess there is nothing. I just always try to take a rest with the curtains closed, lights off so it won't hurt that much.

My sister suffers from migraines. They can give her severe head pain and vomiting. It can take her one to three days to get over having one. I think she has them for hormonal reasons because it pregnancy she has not suffered from them. On a medical program they said the boy got migraine due to the diet he was eating. They gave him a totally different diet. His migraines didn't happen again. I believe stress can make a migraine worse. Maybe you could try to see if the diet works for you. Good luck.

Migraine attacks can be really very hard. There may be different ways to stop migraine attacks. One way which some people have been practising is "mindfulness meditation". Half-an-hour or an hour a day, regularly, at any time convenient, helps stopping migraine attacks. You might want to try that too.

OK. I have a suggestion you might try. Get on a very high protein diet. I have heard that while the body's energy comes from carbohydrates, the brain uses proteins. Feed your brain. Of course, use those glare blocking sunglasses and avoid any known triggers. Getting a full night's rest every night can only help.

Hi Neelia! Even i have bouts of migraine sometimes. I usually succumb to this when i had poor sleep. The migraine goes away when i rest and vommit.
