Question: Last year, I was diagnosed with migraine headaches. My doctor told me to use an over the counter medicine....?
and that usually worked perfectly. But now, after I wait an hour for the medicine to kick in, my headaches start to continue. I don't know what other things I need to change in order to keep from getting headaches. I use to get migraines from being out in the heat too long. What else can cause these kinds of headaches?

Whatever the exact mechanism of the headaches, a number of things may trigger them. Common migraine triggers include:

Hormonal changes in women. Fluctuations in estrogen seem to trigger headaches in many women with known migraines. Women with a history of migraines often report headaches immediately before or during their periods, when they have a major drop in estrogen. Others have an increased tendency to develop migraines during pregnancy or menopause. Hormonal medications — such as oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy — also may worsen migraines, though some women find it's beneficial to take them.

Foods. Some migraines appear to be triggered by certain foods. Common offenders include alcohol, especially beer and red wine; aged cheeses; chocolate; aspartame; overuse of caffeine; monosodium glutamate — a key ingredient in some Asian foods; salty foods; and processed foods. Skipping meals or fasting also can trigger migraines.

Stress. Stress at work or home can instigate migraines.

Sensory stimuli. Bright lights and sun glare can produce migraines, as can loud sounds. Unusual smells — including pleasant scents, such as perfume, and unpleasant odors, such as paint thinner and secondhand smoke, can also trigger migraines.

Changes in wake-sleep pattern. Either missing sleep or getting too much sleep may serve as a trigger for migraine attacks in some individuals, as can jet lag.

Physical factors. Intense physical exertion, including sexual activity, may provoke migraines.

Changes in the environment. A change of weather or barometric pressure can prompt a migraine.

Medications. Certain medications can aggravate migraines.

I know many will dismiss my suggestion, but as someone who has suffered for many, many years from regular migraines, I have to pass on what helped me.

I started wearing a scalar energy pendant several months ago - and have not had a single migraine since. I know that is going to seem really odd, but I can't begin to describe how happy I am these days. Previously, I would get at least 1 or 2 migraines every month, and especially over the last few years it was so much worse because I had to ignore my little girl who was so worried seeing me in pain. I would curl up in a dark room and be in misery and agony for hours on end. It's not nice.

Honestly, I didn't believe this could have helped me - but it did, so I'm sharing in the hopes that other people can find relief too. Living with migraines is one of the worst things, and you 'lose' so much of your life because of them. It's no way to live.

I wish you luck in banishing them from your life :)
