Headaches And Healings

The chronic migraine sufferer will go through 4 distinct stages of the migraine process and each stage is different for each sufferer bringing with it symptoms that change from person to person. Migraine headaches plague millions of Americans each year and it is no wonder that they rank at the top of the list of reason people use to miss work. The stages or phase, as I like to call them, are: Prodrome stage, Aura stage, Headache stage and the Postdrome stage. These stages are all present at every migraine yet not everyone experiences symptoms from every phase. The stage we will go over now is the Headache Stage.

Headache Phase
Stage three is the migraine headache stage. It is here where the migraine takes root and bares down to implement the worst of the headache symptoms on the migraine victim. It is during the migraine headache stage that intense head pain is had as well as the following symptoms:

• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Pounding In The Head
• Vomiting
• Unilateral pain felt above the eye or in the back of the head

Being able to focus is a tough commodity during a migraine onslaught. Comprehension and functionality is limited during this stage and the best form of treatment is silence finding a dark room and implementing your migraine treatment plan if one is in place.

Differentiate This For Me
How do you differentiate between a migraine and a headache? Though both a headache and a migraine have some similarities, there are a few distinct characteristics of a headache that makes it different from a migraine. Pay close attention to the next few points as they should explain in more detail what a headache versus a migraine looks like.

• A headache attacks quickly and with no warning where as a migraine we learned has preemptive warning signs.
• Migraines can last up to three days headaches a few hours.
• A headache though bothersome does not typically result in a loss of productivity and the inability to function.
• Headaches feel more like a pulsing feeling inside your head; migraines on the other hand tend to be felt only on one side of the head.
• Some level of irritability might occur with a headache but typically subsides after some over the counter medicine has been taken, sadly those suffering with a migraine do not bounce back as quickly.
• Feelings of nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound are all characters of a migraine and will not be present with a headache.
Most headaches are often short lived with no cause for anxiety; there are times when a headache causes severe tension in the facial muscles putting a strain on the neck, shoulders eyes these headaches are called tension headaches and can be treated with over the counter medication.

A Great Way To Heal
The Migraine Support Formula is the safest and most effective migraine treatments available to the end consumer today, yet it is the most obscure. The prescription industry is a billion dollar market in which some meds work and other keep you coming back especially is the condition is incurable. All you can basically do is minimize the symptoms and when physicians hypothesize or guess…mistakes can be made. The great thing about the Migraine Support Formula is its all-natural components which are from vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements. The following are six of the many components within this amazing formula:

• Vitamin B3 (Niacin) – Vitamin B3 is responsible for several reactions that a body experiences. B3 helps release energy from carbohydrates, fats and cholesterol while regulating blood sugar levels. B3 when used creates a flushing of the face and with the flushing of the face the migraine is flushed right out of the system. One study done on the benefits of Vitamin B3 in relieving migraines revealed that 81% of people suffering from migraines found relief when treating their migraine with B3.
• Valerian – Valerian is a root that has been uncovered as a form of muscle relaxer. The use of Valerian is helpful in reducing stress, anxiety and even insomnia.
• Butterbur – Butterbur is an herb that when used in a clinical study showed that within sixteen weeks of use the number of migraine attacks was reduced by half. Research from this study also concluded that the severity of migraine pain typically felt was drastically reduced.
