Thanks for taking a look at my blog.
If you’re anything like me you’ve spent what seems like a huge part of your life suffering with headaches, migraines or both. Maybe it’s a recent development for you, or maybe you’re still quite young and not had time to find out what works for you yet. Either way, if you suffer with tension headache, sinus headache, cluster headaches or migraines, you’ll find something here to help you.
Over the years a lot of us have found our own headache pain relief methods. Migraines and headaches have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember (over 45 years) and over the years I’ve tried just about everything. I’ve cut all sorts of food and drink from my diet, and had a certain amount of success, but those headaches still manage to creep up on me now and then to remind me who’s in charge!
Some of my triggers are, chocolate, cheese and beer. I can’t even get to the bottom of a glass of Guinness before I start to feel (or see) those tell tale signs that there’s a migraine on the way! Why is it all the things we love that turn out to be triggers? Can life still be worth living without chocolate or Guinness?
Maybe there is a way of enjoying the things we love and still staying headache free. I’ve tried different drugs, relaxation techniques, exercise, hot compresses, icy cold compresses, massage, acupressure, breathing exercises, cutting out caffeine, having more caffeine and plenty of other things I can’t remember right now!
I’d love to hear about what works for you and maybe you can learn something from me too. I’m going to be searching out all the headache pain relief methods I can find, and sort the good from the bad.
Even better than finding a great method of headache pain relief, is to stop the headache from happening in the first place … although there is a part of me that would somehow miss migraines if they weren’t part of my life! Can that be normal, or is that just me?
So … I’ll also be looking for changes we can both make to our lifestyles which will prevent that nagging, persistent pain that stops us enjoying our lives the way we know we should. I’ll also be posting interesting articles and keeping you up to date with the latest headache related news stories and breakthrough cures, so thanks again for reading this and make sure you comment on my posts and tell me your thoughts, so it’s not just one way traffic!
Come back soon to find out what’s new at the Headache Pain Relief Network.
