I have been on butterbur and ginger for about 2 weeks, and I have to say I feel great! The depression and heaviness that was in my head is gone the anger I was feeling all the time is gone for me topamax was evil and turning me into a person that i did not know! This is the week that I would have the worst migraines almost every day and ........NONE! Well thats not true I had a couple of small ones over the weekend and yesterday a small one but it does not wipe me out and they dont give me that brain drain. so much more is getting done around the house. I am still reading the book your migraine brain and am learning lots from it as one thing a migriane brain gets dehydrated very easily and that is actually why alcohol really bothers migraine people and it says to drink 1 glass of water to every drink. Even in daily life drink drink drink!! So i read on a website that drinking water through a straw will make you get it down faster and by god its so true!! I have been getting through a 20 oz bottle of water at work every day when I used to maybe have time to drink half or so. I keep it up when I get home too. I used to drink a decent amount of water but I am sure most days did not get my 8 glasses that is allot!! But am doing it now! Also she says to log in a food journal everything you eat I have been doing that too so I can see if there is a pattern to when I have my headaches and if there is a constant in the foods. I truly hope this is not a fluke and I can finally begin living my life like a normal person.
