Poll: How Do You Treat Migraines?
At the other blogs that I write (here and here), I often ask questions to engage the readers. Sometimes, I get a response via comment or email; occasionally a link, answering my question…sometimes readers even ask me questions back and that’s when I get really excited. The point? I’m trying to engage the communities of these blogs and I love it when you want me to talk back to you.
So recently, I’ve begun experimenting with polls - opinions are both the basis for the great conversations and the bane of free will, so to speak - and I thought I’d bring the concept over here, too, since you all are not a very chatty bunch. In fact, I’m getting a little lonely; it’s just me, my Excedrin Migraine and a very tall glass of water.
This week, I’m asking you: what do you do to treat a migraine? Go to’ er…
I’ll let you know the results and a new question, next week!

What works for me is covering my eyes until the aura is gone, a good dose of Tylenol, and believe or not, a yellow banana. The banana gives me a shot of B vitamins and a little something in the stomach to stabilize my sugar. I find that I am most likely to get a migraine when I am both stressed and hungry, a deadly combination. Now that the doctor took me off the Beta Blockers (for my heart) those pesky migraines have made a reappearance.
Meditation also helps, at the beginning, especially if you concentrate on warming your body.
