Migraine Prevention is in Your Hands!!!

You can take a preventive medicine, natural headache prevention, and lifestyle changes for migraine relief.

At least 50% of migraine prevention falls in the migraine sufferers hands.

Doctors can prescribe medicines, but will they work as well if you abuse your migraine triggers? Some migraine sufferers can't find anything that triggers their headaches, but do they know all of the little trigger buggers?

I would suggest that one sit down, and write down everything that can cause/trigger a headache or migraine. You may have several pages to look at, or heck maybe a dozen. Quite a few migraine triggers. Study, and remember each one.

Than start comparing them to the times you trip up on a migraine. Slice and dice them around. See what you come up with. We've heard of the darnest things that give some migraines. For instance, we love to hear from you guys. One woman wrote that red peppers triggered her migraines. Even if she smelled them, her head started hurting.

The keyword here is prevent, not trigger a migraine. No one can watch what we do all day. You'll have to start somewhere to prevent your migraines. Some changes will be easy, while others may take a little working on. Lifestyle changes for migraines should be the first to start with. The ones that cost the least may be the best. First, download this diary and try to make a connection as to what you may have done prior to having a migraine. It may be a food or beverage that you can't tolerate.

Have you ever done something, and immediately knew that you were going to pay because of it? Of course you have, we all have. One of our pages was on alcohol headaches, and that just doesn't cut it when you're a migraine sufferer.

Also stay tuned in for stress, something on your job, or anything else that may have happened before that awful pain known as a migraine. I kind of preach this on some pages, but one way you can educate yourself on how to manage migraines and headaches is also very inexpensive.

Simply read books about migraines.

Google has them, and also Amazon, which is one of our (Grandson and I) favorite places to buy cheap books or whatever you're looking for. Next on our migraine prevention list is all natural remedies.

Many people, don't like to take medicines unless we absolutely have to. We have pages on butterbur for migraines, and there's also feverfew for migraines, (also a page on that), there's also COq10, Migrelief, and there may even be a chance your body is low on magnesium.

Half of all migraine sufferers are low on magnesium, and you can sure have headaches because of it.

You didn't know that there was so much help for your migraines, did you, but the keyword here is to apply what one learns.

Your last resort of course, if all else fails is medicines for your migraine prevention.

And these will be prescribed by your doctor. Preferably your headache specialist. Find one because they are much more experienced in headaches and migraines than most doctors.

You may very well find relief in taking a preventive for your migraines, but here again, that doesn't mean one can abuse that head. If you come in contact with one of your migraine triggers, more than likely, you're going to have a break through migraine.

So the "keyword" here is manage, and educate. With both applied with the greatest of your efforts, one could see many pain free days.

Although the migraine abortive's, (to take the migraine away)work wonders for knocking out migraines, they won't prevent a migraine, and one can't abuse them by taking to often. They'll end up making the head hurt more.

It may surprise you, but many migraine sufferers don't take medicines, they just suffer.

Remember, any pain medicine taken either over the counter or doctor prescribed to often, can make your head hurt DAILY. There's much to apply in the top two migraine prevention methods to give you migraine relief before you go on migraine medicine.
