I used to suffer from terrible sick headaches about once a month. (female related) I have been told that some women, with water retintion, also have water retention on the brain which causes all the pressure, hence the migrane. I've been told that a mild diuretic helps in that situation. I asked the doctor about it, and he didn't want me to use them (don't know why). Anyway, I know longer suffer from the headaches after surgery (prolapsed uterus came out).

When I had the headaches, one thing that helped me was....TOMATOE SOUP!! Why? I haven't a clue. I always felt better after having eaten tomatoe soup. That and a nap.
