Also, foods rich in magnesium have been shown to be usefull for alleviating the pain of migraine attacks ie ~leafy and green vegies, cold water fishes such as tuna, sardines, salmon and whiting, organic nuts and seeds (organic to avoid the nasty sulfites and chemicals that the commercial varieties are often preserved with) and wholegrain breads and cereals (if you can tolerate wheat)!.
Drink loads of fresh filtered water daily too !.!.!.!.!. at least 2 - 3 litres per day and try to cut right back on any dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol (if you drink any) too as all these will dehydrate you terribly and rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins !.!.!.!.!.!. which are so essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning!.

you're lucky only 2 to 3 times a year! Most people get them much more often!. Usually it's a lack of oxygen getting to the brain that cause's the migraine!. Stress can cause it!. Too much thinking or too much worrying!. An notwithstandable smell can cause it! Sometimes a lady reaking with too much perfume sits beside me on the bus and that really gives me a doozy of a migraine! Well I take Vervain to get rid of the migraine!.!. it works for me! In my residence I use the tea but on the bus I settle for either the capsule or pill version! Try the Vervain and if it doesn't work for you then go see you GP and tell him/her what you tried to get rid of it!Www@Answer-Health@Com
my freind got those and went to the doctor!. He was told it was because of his low blood sugar or something and now can't eat specific stuff like marmite!. Since he now doesnt he doesnt get them anymore by avoiding such foods!. I recommend going to ur gp, since its probably that simple!. They can do a short blood test just to check!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
There are lots of things that can trigger a migraine!. I believe too many migraines can lead to epilepsy!. Those who I know who suffer them usually can only cope by being in a dark room and an ice pack on the melon!. My best friend suffers, and I feel so helpless as there is nothing I can do!.
