Seeing The Healing Happen

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 Aura Stage.

Aura Phase
Stage two hits not long before the actual headache settles in, this phase is called migraine aura and begins to show up twenty to sixty minutes before the intense migraine headache symptoms begin. Symptoms that come with the migraine aura stage typically affect vision and produce the following symptoms:

• Flashing Lights
• Blank Spots
• Zigzag lines
• Vertigo
• Black spots in eyes
• Temporary Blindness

CSD or Cortical Spreading Depression is also a key symptom and is even suspected to be a key contributor to the start of a migraine to begin with. It starts at the back of the head and travels slowly to the front causing the nerves to be depressed in their response to impulses. It is important that friends, family and employers are notified during this stage that over the next few days you may be somewhat out of sorts as you cope with your migraine headache. Finding a dark quiet place to rest is important during this stage so that the migraine attack does not intensify.

Only Way To Heal
Headaches of this magnitude as in a migraine can be very difficult to overcome. Migraine headaches are very painful and make functioning nearly impossible. They are one of fewer life-living illnesses without a cure and the symptoms can be severe. You could experience temporary blindness or even vertigo in the Aura stage of the migraine process. The stage is obscure yet for those who do experience it; it can be one of the most painful and physically cumbersome stages of the condition. There are a few steps one can take to reduce the chances of developing a migraine such as:

• Avoid Migraine Triggers
• Preventative Medication

A Formula Most Effective
The Migraine Support Formula is one of the best, most effective and safest migraine treatments available to the public today. It is comprised of a precise combination of all-natural vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements that when they work together, they help minimize the length and intensity of the migraine attacks. The natural ingredients found in the Migraine support Formula are: Water-soluble riboflavin, Magnesium Citrate, Feverfew, Ginger, Coenzyme Q10, Ginko Biloba, White Willow Bark, Valerian, Butterbur, 5 – Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), Vitamin B3 (Niacin) and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine). Here are a few of the ingredient’s breakdowns:

• Ginger – One reason why Triptans and Ergots have been so successful in relieving migraine pain is their innate ability to attach to serotonin receptors helping aid in reducing the triggers that cause migraine pain. This might be helpful in relieving temporary migraine pain, it is not a cure, nor is it 100% safe. Ginger on the other hand is 100% natural, safe and has the ability to attach to human serotonin receptors to help reduce migraine triggers that cause migraine pain. Ginger has also proven to help alleviate symptoms such as nausea and when combined with feverfew they are an effective tool against fighting off migraine symptoms.

• Coenzyme Q10 – Coenzyme Q10 also referred to as CoQ10 is a vitamin like substance that helps generates energy in the body in the form of ATP. This Vitamin is one of the greatest anti-oxidants your body has and when you stop oxidizing, you stop sickness, aging and obviously migraines.

• Ginko Biloba – Ginko Biloba is a powerful antioxidant made popular by its ability to help improve blood circulation in both the body and the brain. Ginko Biloba is possibly one of most well-known herbal remedies and can be used in the treatment of migraine headaches. The reason that Ginko Biloba makes for such a great treatment options is its ability to hinder platelet aggregation.
