Really good day today the best Thursday I have had in a very long time. Plus the headache that I had yesterday my usual Wednesday one was much more tolerable and did not make me spacy or completely wiped out for the day. Its funny I did get tweaks in my head today but they just went away and now I feel great. I can only attribute this to the fact that I really stayed away from trigger foods over the weekend I was not perfect but I did the best that i could I certainly can not live in a bubble. This coming weekend I go out of town and to a party it will be a complete challenge, again I will do the best that I can I will not be a "party pooper" but I will try and eat with in my limits if I can. One thing that i did last night is really set up the "big guns" when I went to bed I still had a lingering headache and again fear of rebound I am limiting pain meds so this is when I call in my "Big guns" when before I would take a Maxalt and call it a night. I took a whirlpool bath we are lucky enough to have a built in bath tub with jets I get the jets directed right at my neck and the trigger point in my shoulder sometimes this helps sometimes not so much. I have an MP3 of guided mediation it takes about 7 minutes so i used this along with a still point inducer. A still point inducer is a thing that you lay on you put it on the floor its very cool it looks kind of like 2 boobs haha! But you can put it in the back of your head the "still point" its very hard to explain but ir relaxes you head muscles and even drains your sinuses. You can get this at www.amazon.com this has helped me quite allot it helps too if you have fluid in your ears ect. look it up to explain it its very cool. Before I fall asleep i use peppermint oil on the areas that are annoying me normally my neck and into my shoulder and my eyebrow. Almost always takes the pain away for how long depends on how bad the migraine is. Then when I am about to go to sleep I use brain sync technology, its very cool I use one that helps with headaches it seems to help sometimes sometimes not so much. It uses music to change your brainwaves just do not over do it! I did that once and it gave me a killer headache!! I also got the mediation download from there it was free. Sometimes when I have used brain sync where I had a headache earlier in the day will begin to tingle with the music its weird. The down load was only $10 doesn't put any bad chemicals or medications in your body and its very relaxing so it cant hurt. when you read the science behind it, it is very interesting. I also have a theracane its a cool like cane thing with nubs that you can reach spots in your shoulder and neck that people with migraines seem to get aches and pains. Its allot I know I am just on a quest to feel normal!! maybe this can help someone else! This does control my life it is my life
