Migraines

[Maresche]

I got migraines all the time when I was a teenager but they have tapered off dramatically now that I'm a bit older. I didn't have any for a couple of years before I got pregnant, now I get one every couple of months or so.

Russian Blue, like you, mine are tied to weather patterns. The fall being the worst by far. Once the snow starts, they generally stop. One of the big reasons I like snow!

Peppermint extract helps me a fair bit. Diluted with almond oil and put on a hankie in a dark, quiet room is the best way for me to feel better in a couple of hours.

I have had migraines so bad that last year my parents had to rush me to the ER, I tried to take a hot shower and threw up allover, I ended up throwing up so much i became dehyrated and had to stay in the hospital overnight, I think it was caused by stress, i tried everything i could think of, cold wet rags, hot shower, medicine, nothing worked but they put this other medicine in my IV and that actually was the only thing that would help me.
