Have Migraines? Eat Up And Get Rid Of Dog Fancy
Today, I was reminded of the importance of eating regularly in the management of migraines. Yes, you still need to take the medication, see your doctor and get a decent amount of sleep, but you also need to eat at times your body is used to. This is harder to do when you’re broke from paying for medication and doctor bills, but if you can afford to eat at least twice a day (even just a slice of bread) then you may be able to help prevent migraine attacks.
Dog Fancy Sucks
I’ve only subscribed to Dog Fancy since June and noticed things were getting weirder and weirder. This morning, I cracked open my October 2008 issue and read a huge editorial denouncing animal rights groups, even animal rights groups working hard to shut down puppy mills, ban chaining dogs to trees for years on end and prosecute dog abusers.
Guess who’s a member of a few animal rights groups.
Now, I don’t mean to turn this post into a discussion of animal rights. Just take the words “animal rights” and insert your favorite cause there — gun rights, free speech rights, human rights, whatever. The point is, the Dog Fancy editorial got me very upset. I was so upset that I couldn’t eat. I decided to burn off the nerves by walking my dog, Pony.
When I came home is when I felt a migraine coming on.
Nausea Sucks
By that time, I could barely look at food, let alone shove it down my gob. But if you manage to get the first three bites down, it gets easier to eat. Your nausea may even subside just from the first couple of bites. If you can’t take pills on an empty stomach, than you need to first take a couple of bites of food (or at least a good swallow of milk) and THEN take your pills.
And then you can go cancel your subscription to Dog Fancy and send the money to the Humane Society of the United States or your favorite charity.
Oh, uh, I guess that last point doesn’t actually help manage migraine pain — although it certainly helped in my case.
