I woke this morning with migraine headache. To this point it's been a 4 aspirin day. Waiting for the pain to go away so I can get on with enjoying the good life.
I used to work for a neurologist who specialized in headaches. Ht told me that migraines are sometimes caused by a relaxed portion of a blood vessel in the brain. That relaxed area collects more blood than it ought to, and the weight of the blood causes the headache. He prescribed caffeine for migraines, because it constricts blood vessels. Hey, a doctors prescription for coffee is okay by me!
So sorry John. I have chronic migraines so I know the pain. I have RX meds but for over the counter try generic migraine formula products - contains aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine. The caffeine really does help. If you have them often see a doctor - there is help.
I used to get migraines when I was married then I left him and the headaches went away. All kidding aside they are not fun. Try a can of soda with the caffiene in it. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Kris, I don't do coffee so I'll have to find my caffeine elsewhere.
DeleteChocolate works for me !!!!
DeleteKris, now that sounds like the cure.

ReplyDeleteJo, I tried your first solution too and it worked for awhile, the can of soda did the trick yesterday.
