Migraines/OT

[Guest guest]

Speaking of migraines...I don't recall if I mentioned it on here as I am careful

about that sort of thing since I am not a doctor or health person at all, but I

was getting frantic about dealing with mine as they had gotten so bad and lasted

so long I just wanted to whack my head against a brick wall..it would have felt

better. So did some research and discovered that the hospitals use IV infusions

of Magnesium for people with severe migraines and many doctors are recommending

people give magnesium vitamins a try. So I did and wow is all I can say. I got

them every few weeks. What was recommended was to take 500 mg magnesium a day

and kick it up to 1,500 if a migraine was coming on. Well, I did so. I have had

one migraine in three months and the one I had last week may have been due to

the fact that I had been forgetting to take the magnesium for about a week. I do

know that when I have felt one coming on I take the 1,500 mg and it stops it in

its track. I take it for about three days as that is how long my headaches

usually last and they kind of seem to be hovering all of that time too.

Coincidence? Maybe. Psychological? Maybe. But, no matter what the reasoning

behind it I will take it and it is safe. You can take even more and still be

safe. If I have already blithered on about this before forgive me for my

excitement. Oh, yes, and a friend I mentioned it to tried it and it has worked

for her and saves her the $10 a pill that she takes for said headaches...she

hasn't had any since starting the magnesium.

Isn't that quote great? No, i didn't choose it to be

posted, it was just in my quote file [that isn't sorted

in any particular order] and it was its turn to pop up.

i am often amazed at the synchronicity of such happenings....

it really did fit the post topic well. Another funny synchronicity-

moment happened in a post i made yesterday at Donna's

veg group. i was replying to a guy about migraine cures

and this quote popped up:

When you've got pain, at least you know you're alive.

i swear i didn't choose that one either! *lol*

i wonder what's next for today?
