Migraines

Recently I have been having massive migraines. The kind that make you want to just crawl into a dark hot shower and disappear for several hours. Course I have been doing this procedure for the past three day and I only get limited amount of relief before the migraine returns. Needless to say my poor skin is much like alligator skin. I got the Dry, flaky and well honestly I feel like I have thousands of tiny critters crawling around my skin. Oy! I just hope Bean doesn't come out like re fried beans from all the hot showers I have been taking. ((: Don't worry I haven't been sitting directly in the stream. Just more or less in the steam.

This morning I woke up and my head was still swimming, so I decided to do a little research to find out how I can overcome the pregnant migraine with out drugs..

Below are a few things that I found that have been interesting and some what helpful. Though none have a complete cure.

Keep a headache diary: This diary should include when the headache happened, what “triggered” it, and how long it lasted. If you keep a log of your headaches, you can learn what triggers them and therefore avoid those things.

What Might Cause Your Migraine,

* Stress
* Chocolate
* Cheese
* Coffee
* Weather
* Hormones

How to Rid The Pregnancy Migraine

* Apply a cold towel on your head
* Take a cold shower
* Take a nap
* Exercise
* Biofeedback (ask your doctor)
* Relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga


I also read that if you get cluster headaches that pure oxygen helps.

I find laying in dark room with a warm rag over my eyes, nose and mouth helps while taking big deep breaths.

Also gazooks amounts of water. Sometimes we can get toxic and not even realize that is what is causing our headaches. That's why water is so good, it helps the flush garbage out of our systems.

I have a sneaky suspicion that this might actually be a hormone headache. I am going to try eating soy to see if that regulates my hormones a little better. Soy is supposedly really good for woman that are going through the change of life. I wouldn't see why small doses of soy couldn't help me and my raging hormones. Maybe I can find some relief soon... I will tell you if that works...

If you folks have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to hook a sista up.. Pain is no fun.
