Thread Name: BS: Feverfew - hangover cure or myth?
Subject: RE: BS: Feverfew - hangover cure or myth?
Quack prognosticates - a) a cluster migraine - b) alcohol as a trigger is not unknown. c) Prescribes Pzotifen, taken daily. d) Assures me there are no contra-indications with alcohol.
first thing I see when I open the bag? A label with the warning "May cause drowsiness, if so do not drive. Avoid alcohol."
Great! not a session within an hours walk!
Feverfew I have regarded as wrong on the grounds of double nausea. Pizotifen needs a second opinion
time was when dancing gave me more immunity but not now. Time was when if I braved day 2 of the festival I didn't have to worry the rest of the w/e. Ask me at Chippenham, we have two Bank Holidays.
Lucy Ann - I prefer a boring diet - so most likely triggers are out of it, except cold weather (always wear a hat), wet hair (use hair drier now), pigging a whole loaf of fresh homebake bread, and mushrooms fried in butter (??), and a shitty job (no more), not much help to others generally.
Thanks for the interest but I mostly blame the booze & if that is the worst it can throw at me I am a happy bunny most days. Will chase Bryonia along with Pizoartistofen.
