Hello Friends,
For two weeks now I have been suffering from an acute migraine at the back of my head. I went into hospital for tests and a CAT scan which thankfully didn't show up anything sinister (and reassured me that I actually have a brain! LOL).
However, they couldn't do anything about the pain. They gave me 2 different types of painkiller, one of which worsened the problem and had me being sick all day. A friend on Tribe suggested Turmeric, which has lessened the pain, but hasn't got rid of it.
Any tips or suggestions would be helpful, as I can't take much more of this permanent migraine.
Thank you and blessings to you all, Michy

Re: I need Help!
Tue, July 15, 2008 - 8:14 AMherbs are a wondderfull and gentle ally...there are quite a few that can help with headaches and migraines, simply typing in migraine herbs in google will direct you to sites which can be helpful. I am not an herbalist so I do not know enough to tell you about different ones, but from my experience Valerian has been helpful with body aches and headaches. But if you have been experiencing this pain for two weeks I would suggest a chiropractor, sounds like somthing maybe pinched somewhere. I have had headaches that would not leave and with an adjustment from the chiropractor it was gone. Also I hear acupuncture will do wonders as well, though I have yet to have a session. Louise Hay has an affirmation for healing the dis-ease of migraines, "I relax into the flow of life and let life provide all that I need easily and comfortably.Life is for me. " Good luck with releasing your ache.
Many Blessings,

Tue, July 29, 2008 - 10:39 PMHello Michey,
Have you ever tried Cranial-sacral work? -

Re: I need Help!
Wed, July 30, 2008 - 10:29 PMIndeed G Diva. Good advice.
Cranial-sacral work and (I'd suggest) augment the work with 500ml of single malt scotch and (2) 100mg tablets of Percocet(TM) twice daily.
It couldn't hurt.
Blessings... -

Wed, August 13, 2008 - 2:18 PMCranial sacral helped me alot...as did tumeric..and Wobenzym N(a capsule )...but overall I have to say my savior has been medical marijuana(vaporizing works best..less smoke to irritate sinus cavity)...it is just going to depend what is really causing the migraines.Hope you find relief...I know how hard it can be to function in the world on this level! Blessings!

Thu, August 14, 2008 - 9:31 PMThrow out the scotch. It may make things worse. Same with pot. Having worked with a neurologist on the topic of migraines, I would encourage you to take a close look at your allergies. Perhaps it would be wise to get tested to determine what your sensitivities are. Eliminate those, and voila! No more headaches.
