Diagnosing and Treating Migraine in Canada

[parsleysprigs]

This is crap, i never get headaches. I drink plenty of water and get plenty of sleep. I stay away from smokers and other airborn chemicals. I believe headaches are cause from not drinking enough water being exposed to pollution and not getting enough sleep. the only time I get headaches is after a night of drinking or smoking to much weed. not eating crap food helps a bit too.

@parsleysprigs what you just said is crap! i drink more than enough water, dont drink alcohol, get my 8 hrs sleep, live in a nice open countryside, no stress, still get migraines. some people just get headaches. so good for you for not getting headaches

@leeham987 What kind of water are you drinking. Try eating some pickles and then drink you some water,  I know everyones saying bottled water is a trend and it's true because you can buy the same water but depending on the day of production the quality will be different because I'm sure the company's don't change they're filters as much as they should so only those first few batches of water are actually going to be pure, after the filters reached it's peak it will only make the water worse.

@parsleysprigs just normal tap water really. why pickles?

[parsleysprigs]

@leeham987 pickles contain many electrolytes and minerals that your body needs to actually absorb water. I'm sure you've heard about people dying from too much water. Thats why water just runs through some people, because your body can't take it in, you flood out these minerals everytime you drink water too. If you continue to drink water and not replace these minerals your body can go past the point of being able to produce the acids needed to digest and you'll need to be put on an I.V.

the girl at 2:30 reminds me of my cousin in CT lol. Migraines are not only in woman, I am a 23 year old male and have to pop 3 tylenols with a cup of coffee like 3 times a day everyday. It sucks to be putting all of that Acitemophen in me but I have to prevent the pain for some reason. I could not even walk when I get them. The sad thing is that I have had them since 6 years of age, and my parents never got me any treatment.

Every migraineur seems to be different. I take a modest dose of Inderal (a beta-blocker) every day and have switched from overhead fluorescent lights at work to regular lamps.  Both have helped me have less frequent and less severe migraines.

I feel for any one that suffers from migraines.  I'm lucky in that I only get one or two a year. I don't go to the ER for them, because I what the pain to stop, not get loaded. How I treat mine is 600mg of Ibuprofen with milk or food, a very hot bath, then to bed. If I'm lucky I wont vomit. Side not I don't know which is worse the migraine or that after the pain is gone you feel like you just did 16 hrs of hard labour.
