have you ever had a pink eye how did it feel?

Answers:
She should go to the doctor and be diagnosed with migraine headaches before you do anything. You will want to rule our potential emergency situations. Once she has been told that her headches are actually migraines, then start to research alternatives. Here is a bunch of ideas for you to consider.

She should make sure her blood sugars are normal, hypoglycemia can contribute to migraines. Food allergies can be another culprit. Watch out for lactose intolerance, excessive caffeine, salt and artificial sweeteners. Foods containing tyramine can cause them too. Migraines can be caused by a reaction to birth control pills or smoking.

Essential oil of lavender is very help in calming the nervous sytem and helping to relax tight muscles. You can make little eye pillows, rub it on the back of the neck or temple, or just smell it.

Vitamin B2 and B12 can be helpful. People who have migraine tend to have lower levels of magnesium, so a magnesium supplement might be of help. Coenzyme Q10 has shown promise in research trials, but you have to take it for a few months before you can determine if it will have any effect.

The herb feverfew is worth looking into. Ginger can help with the headache and also the nausea that can accompany the headache. Look into fish oil, melatonin and SAMe, too.

Acupuncture therapy is very helpful at reducing the severity and frequency of migraines.

There are so many things you could try, but don't try them all at once, because you won't know which things are working and which ones are a waste of time and money.

Depends on how serious her migraines are. If they are very serious and last more than 10 minutes, then she should go to a doctor. Other than that, she should take some asprin and try to relax. Start from the head down and tighten and release muscles. First, try tightening the muscles in your forehead (eyebrows). Then, try a big smile and let it go. Then a frown and let it go. Keep tightening and releasing your muscles all the way down to your toes! Hope that helps.

please help me with my bad breath i have tried everything?

One of the most (but by no means the only) common attributes of people who suffer from migraines is an extremely high level of expectations for perfection in themselves and others.

If this is the case with your daughter in law, I would advise her to lower her expectations to something in the reasonable range.

She nor the people she deals with are machines. Every single person on the planet will continue to make mistakes. Some people are always going to be slower at something or other than the rest of the people on the planet, etc, etc, etc.

Again, if this is the case with your daughter in law, at the onset of a migraine, if she can get to a quite, dimly lit, area and focus on relaxing - not concentrating on her pain, the migraine will subside rather quickly.

If she can alter her expectations for herself and others, she should see a dramatic improvement in frequency and severity of symptoms.

You may also wish to look at expectations she places on your grandchildren, if you have any, while we are doing some Monday morning quarterbacking here.

What do you do when you get angry or depressed?

I feel very sorry for her as I once had the same problem. I am now a qualified alternative medicinal therapist. The best thing you can give her is FEVERFEW, even those in the medical profession admit that it works. There are a lot more herbal remedies but I have given you the best one. The real problem is what is causing it. It isn't always a food allergies that starts it. Mine was caused by my STERNOCLEIDOMASTOIDEUS muscle or sternomastoid for short. it's the major muscles that runs either side of the neck. Certain semells also can set it off. It might be a good idea if you purchase a 'tens' unit, it omits small electric shocks to the muscles, It has helped many of my clients and myself.
Also try giving her a neck massage with lavender and chamomile oils or put a few drops in her bath.An ice pack placed behind her neck is also very effective. If there is anymore help I can give you please e-mail me at alternative@medicine123.wanado. or phone me on 01843 588668. If you live in the Margate Area come over and see me.
