MIGRAINES
Defintiely suffered from migraines from about 8 or so years old.
Also remeMber often having headache tablet crushed in honey earlier than that.
AT YOUNGER AGE
Probably not drinking enough water was a factor for my earlier-in-life headaches
- before age 10 - that eventually became more like migraines -
also probably not helped by the softball bat incident.
TEEN YEARS
Certainly had a more often sore head
after the chair-to-the-back-of-the-head incident.
MID TWENTIES
Dropping the machine sideways on a hill didn’t help either.
OFTEN STARTED IN AND AROUND THE LEFT EYE
This is a common early sign for me.
Usually associated with eating too much dry food
- especially corn chip or wheat biscuits -
meaning the bowel contents end up a bit too dry/hard as well.
TIGHT BAND AROUND THE HEAD ALSO COMMON
Right around but especially sore/tender at the back/occiptal area.
TILTING HEAD BACK - CAUSE & PAIN INCREASER
Often becomes difficult to move the head as it causes more pain.
Having head tilted back can lead to migraine an/or make an existing one worse.
SENSITIVE TO LIGHT
Not so common for me in recent times but definitely a factor in the past -
darkened room much better.
OTHER RELIEVERS FOR ME
Taking Vit B as supplement or food
Sips of ice water held as long as possible in my mouth
- even aiming to ‘chill’ my teeth, especially the upper ones -
or at least the roof of my mouth.
Ice/Cold-pack onto closed eye lids - especially the left one.
Sometimes also on the forehead or where-ever my skull is sore.
Vomiting (least preferred option) - self-induced or natural.
Warm or cold water onto back of neck.
Warm bath with ice pack on head.
Homoepathic tissalts - especially Magnesium or ComboA.
©Self-Physi-Chiro© stretches
- especially for the shoulders/neck, BUT this can bring on
more pain in the short term for faster relief overall -
better results if done as preventative or very early in ‘onset’.
USUALLY CAN MITIGATE WITHIN 2-3 HOURS
With my range of techniques as listed immediately above,
I can usually be ‘operable’ again within 2 to 3 hours,
or at least halt the progression of the migraine
so the recovery is less taxing.
OCCASIONALLY MIGRAINES WIN
Even with my now-usual success, occasional the migraine wins
either by lasting longer and/or being more intense than ‘usual’
- or taking so much energy to ‘fight’ that I’m
pretty well exhausted for next 6 to 12 hours -
thankfully this is now the exception rather than the rule.
