Subject: RE: BS: Migraine sufferers, advice please?
The 3 things that do work:

At the very first inkling of a migraine, take an unbearably hot shower and 3 aspirins. It will interrupt the vascular pattern of shrinking and swelling of cerebral blood vessels and bypass the headache. (do not put this off for even 30 minutes or it will not work)

If your body readily reacts to left handed synthetic narcotics like Vicodin it will control a migraine even in midstream. (some people have no receptors for these mirror image narcotic molecules)

Should you live long enough they will dissipate in your 40's and fifties. While the pain will not be present, the cycle of vasular constriction and other abnormalities associated with migriane will still be present. Its not really a good thing to be of diminished capacity and not be fully aware of it!




(Something good to know)
Should you suffer from migraines your blood vessels are quite used to swelling and shrinking. You will be able to consciously control them through self imposed deep relaxation to the point you can lower your diastolic pressure by 10 points and your systolic by 20.
Being attuned to this is an individual matter of self awareness.
