A Really, Really Bad Migraine
This is a bit off track from my usual stuff, but it’ll help explain why I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Plus, if it helps even one person, I’ll be very thankful.
For the past month or so, I have been having these really horrible headaches. What started out as a dull, annoying pain slowly turned into a constant pain that often escalated into severe pain. Then over the past few days, it grew to a nearly intolerable level. I couldn’t work, I felt sick. All I really wanted to do was sleep.
I tried the major brands of headache medicine. I absolutely hate, hate, hate taking pills, but at that point I was willing to do anything. Nothing worked. I went to the chemist to talk to a pharmacist about what to do and she recommended yet another pain reliever.
Big surprise, that didn’t work either. All it did was make me a bit sleepy.
It got to the point where either I needed to find something to work fast or I was going to the hospital.
It was more than evident that this had moved well out of headache country into migraine territory. As it turned out, ‘migraine’ was the magic word for my husband’s memory.
Long before we’d met, he’d come across a help for migraines. It had served as a cure for his mother and another one of his friends – both people who had suffered with migraines for years. While he wasn’t able to find the actual mixable powder components, he did find something with the same important ingredients: calcium plus magnesium.
I took two of those little lovelies and it wasn’t long before my migraine was easing to a tolerable level and I could think again. Focus. Concentrate. I was so happy I had to stop myself from dancing around.
Of course, you’ll probably want to check with your doctor, but it’s worth a go. Especially if you or someone you know is in a lot of pain.
