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.
