Migraines
 

As many other YT'ers I suffer from severe migraines =( I have what they diagnosed as BAM or Basilar Artery Migraines. Okay...I can deal with it...however I have been in the hospital 4 times in the past 2 weeks. That I can't deal with; I have been pumped with everything from Ativan to Morphine...and now have an ulcer because of the aspirin regimen they prescribed to reduce the possibility of a stroke. I am only 21 and I am starting to be so lost with the whole situation. I can handle having migraines but they last visit to the ER they told me I was having a TIA (mini stroke) and kept me for 4 days. I am beginning to feel overwhelmed.

I was wondering if anyone on here; does any alternative medicine therapies and how it works for yall'? I think my body needs to be detoxed from all the crap that has been put in...I am having severe stomach pains; and headaches...the DR. said that its my body trying to "get back to normal". Do any other migraine sufferers do yoga, meditation, detoxing, acupuncture, reflexology?? ANYTHING???

I am willing to try everything and anything at this point. Classes, clinics, vacations?? Thanks for letting me vent everyone!! But if anyone has ideas it would be great!

I've been fortunate not to have but only 1 migraine in my life..My nephew on the other hand used to get them really bad, and I'll tell you what made them stop...a chiropractor..it's always seemed funny to me, how if you go to a chiropractor and they can't do anything for you, they will refer you to a dr. but, Drs don't do the same, they would rather fill your body with meds...please find a good chiropractor and see if that helps..My nephew used to go in his room and cry when he was growing up they hurt so bad..it was so sad..
I was always told to take a paper bag and blow in and out of it for migraines...I've only had the one, and at the time, didn't have a paper bag, so couldn't tell you if that works or not..but, I would be on the phone calling around, give the chiropractor a shot

Do a search on here. Someone posted about some pepper spray stuff that worked almost instantly with migraines. Good luck. I sure hope you can find the right solution for you. :ghug:

Here's the thread.

It's called sinusbuster.

I sure feel for you. I suffered for Migraines for many years. They stopped when I went through Menopause,I think alot of migraines are hormonal.
I wish you the best of luck in finding help!

I also suffer from migraines. :( I have recently gone the natural route and only had 3 in a month and a half!! I used either wake up with one or a really bad headache that eventually went into one...I was getting migraines 2-4 days a week (each one lasting 2 days everytime.). I started taking Omega 3 with Fish Oil (2/day...1000 mg each.). I did do research about the natural supplements before trying this, though. Feel free to PM me, if you want.

I hope you can find a solution to your headaches. It's terrible to suffer
from day to day. I feel so bad for you. Prayer's coming your way to get
relief soon.

Bless you heart girl! I've researched a little into natural health alternatives, but what I tried didn't help much! Peppermint & Lavender essential oils are suggested to aid in reduction of headaches. Maybe it would help you? Saying a prayer for you!
