Migraine is a condition that is quite common among people. Most
probably you may have friends around you who are suffering from
migraine too. Until now, there has been no cure for Migraine.
However, if you are familiar with your daily habits, activities and
diet, you may know what are triggering a migraine attack and thus
reduce the frequency of migraine attacks for you. I hope that these
tips, from an email I received, may help you or anyone, who you
know, is suffering from migraine.
Migraine headaches must be one of the most debilitating illnesses
on earth. If you are a sufferer you will know what I mean. The
frequency and severity can vary from person to person but many
people still loose 2 or 3 days a month to migraine. Yes, that is
lost money in your pay cheque or lost quality leisure time with
family and friends.
That intense throbbing pain usually at one side of your head and
often accompanied by nausea and/or vomiting completely knocks many
people of their feet. The lucky ones may get some warning a few
days before such as cravings for certain foods like sweets and
chocolate or general lethargy. In such cases if you can recognise
these warning signs it may be possible to eliminate the cause or
start treatment before the onset. Other people will have what is
known as an 'aura' for a short time before the migraine kicks in.
The most common symptoms of the 'aura' are flashing lights in front
of your eyes or zig zag lines disrupting your vision. More
disturbing symptoms which can occur are numbness down the side
which is effected my the migraine or speech difficulties i.e.
slurring etc.
