What Can You do About Migraines?

Borrowed from the Doctors:

There are approximately 30 million Americans who suffer from migraines. Here are some options to consider:

1. Pain-relieving medications.
Over-the-counter medications such as, aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen may help relieve mild to moderate pain, especially if taken at first sign of a headache. Preventative therapies may, also, be an option if you suffer from frequent attacks, if they last a long time, or if pain-relievers aren't helping.
2. Biofeedback.
This alternative therapy uses electrical sensors to detect & monitor physical responses related to stress, like muscle tension. Having this information can help you learn to make changes, like relaxing these muscles to help relieve headaches. Other alternative treatments include: acupuncture & massage therapy.
3. Avoid triggers.
Whether it is from food or smell, a kind of medication, disrupted sleep, or a missed meal, many factors can trigger a migraine. Try to steer clear of these & maintain a consistent routine. I rarely get headaches.  I find that taking nutritional supplements from Omnitrition® have helped me.  I take Omni IV® liquid vitamins, Thermal Herbal Tea®, & Phytonutrients®.-Omni Girl
