Holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions bring joy and happiness to most people. I remember my wife’s last birthday; we had talked for weeks about it: what we would do, what we would eat, where we would go… So the day came and we set off for what should have been a great night, full of well-earned frivolity. Yet it turned tragically into a nightmare riddled with half-eaten meals, missed destinations and unmet expectations. I, the planner, the companion, the MC for the evening, got sick. But not just any sickness, I was plagued with a mind-debilitating, nausea-inducing, motor skill-constricting migraine headache. It was not fun for me or my wife, whose birth we were celebrating.
Migraine headaches are extremely difficult to prevent and even more difficult to remediate, once they have begun. There are two ways which will help you control your migraine attacks: knowing your triggers and adhering to workable migraine treatment options. For me, chocolate and abrupt weather changes i.e. barometric pressure changes are two migraine triggers which I have to monitor in order to avoid an attack. However, if I don’t avoid these plausible triggers, I could be looking at a lot of pain and no productivity which hurts everyone. Here are a few other triggers which might plague you: light, food, alcohol, smoking (smell), loud noises, humidity, dry air, light or even darkness.
Don’t Cry…It Doesn’t Help
Just like on my wife’s birthday which we will never forget, you can’t always avoid and run from possible migraine triggers; however, you can have a reliable migraine treatment plan to help you when things look bleak. So, don’t cry; just look for the migraine treatment that will work best for you. My favorite treatment is sleep which can also be trigger that is the lack of it. Shut the lights off, put a cold rag on my head and go to sleep. Yet others have to take more extreme method because of the overwhelming pain they experience. Methods such as the following have worked on such individuals:
- Acupuncture
- Massage Therapy
- Chiropractic Adjustment
- Prescription Medication
- Natural Supplements / Migraine Support Formula
