Will we ever figure out the mystery of migraines?

Medical researchers know more about migraines than just about any medical condition--down to the biochemical and physiologic processes involved. That doesn't make it any easier for the migraine sufferer.

The best medicines are triptans for relieving migraine. Different patients respond to different ones so don't give up after only trying two or three. They have to be taken as soon as the migraine starts for the best efficacy.

See your family doctor and also talk to him about medicines to decrease the frequency of your headaches.

In the book "Your Body's Many Cries For Water",

Dr. Batmanghelidj says on pages 51 and 52...

and I quote "The most prudent way of dealing with migraine is its prevention by the regular intake of water:Once migraine breaks the pain barriers, a cascade

of chemical reactions will stop the body from further

activity At this time, one may be forced to take pain-relieving medications with copious (much) water." He

then says drinking cold or iced water helps cool the

brain and relieve the headache..I would get his books

and read them If I were anyone with any health problem.

They are very helpful. Try Watercure.com and Watercure2.com.
