My Dad?
Well Dad never had migrane did he!
I had to work with Migrane and alcohol and fresh orange juice triggered an attack.
Suffered for years 'til a bright GP came up with a cure, havenât had one for 20+yrs now, awful affliction!
what was the cure? I took IMIGRAN I believe it was called.
But standing in a hot kitchen cooking all day and night was torture.
The migranes have gone but I do not drink very oftenâŠfear or maybe I do not need it!
Yes, Bill⊠please can you let us in on your secret⊠I am not a sufferer, but I have family who are crippled with migraines at times
Had them for years, twice a week, tried âEverythingâ, my GP was on holâ and His locum put me on a low dose course of âbeta blockersâ, within a week or two they stopped, never had one since, a miracle as for as I was concerned, wonderful
The trick for that Stella is to keep a food and activity diary. Most migraines have specific triggers for each person and everyone is different. For me it was my period and after a stressful event (such as exams). They seem to have largely stopped now for me but if someone is really crippled by them then itâs worth keeping the diary to find the correlation.
Terrible thing, I would wake about 3a.m., know it was coming, if I had things to do, get them done before noon, after that I wasâout of itâ, with pain, would vomit about 4p.m. them start to feel better, all gone by 7p.m. ish.
But twice a week Tues and Thurs, for years.
The Beta Blockers never made drowsey at all.
Mine lasted for days.
The Doc told me it was stress, no problem while under stress, but after, when you relax and the blood vessels dilate, thats what causes the pain etc, Iâm no Doctor, but the progression matched my experiance!
Twice a week, every week! Barbara.
Yes stressâŠnothing more stressful than working as a chef.
Yep, same for me. Once the stress was over thatâs when the migraines would come. Blurred vision, sensitive to light, the worst headache possible and vomiting. Would not wish them on anyone.
Oh, harbourmastering when the fishing boats were landing, could be âââtryingâââ
Nor me Mandy, well there are âone or twoâ
Oh well they have gone!
Thank goodness!
Touché
Poor Donald suffers tooâŠ
No need to take it out on the rest of The World though
