    MIGRAINES

    I have had a wee look at the internet regarding migraines and got some self help tips etc

    Migraines with Aura

    Sufferers of migraines with aura can get flashing lights, blind spots or visual disturbances. hypersensitivity to noise and light , vagueness, lightheadedness or confusion may occur, as may a numbness and tingling in the arms and side of the face.


    Migraines and food

    Possible triggers sre
    Chocolate
    cheese
    dairy foods
    nuts
    citrus foods
    meats
    alcohol (commonly port and red wine)
    coffee & tea

    Self help
    Avoid excessive fatigue
    watch your posture - avoid craning your neck and think 'tall'
    restrict physical exertion on hot days
    bear in mind 'moderation in all things'
    keep a diary of headaches and record date, day of week and time of day, record possible precipitating and relieving factors
    Limit your consumption of tea, coffee and analgesics
    Keep your muscles as relaxed as possible when not physically active, avoid frowning or jaw clenching
    eat regularly and do not miss meals
    do not sleep longer than your normal 'waking hour'
    try to avoid peaks and troughs of stress at work and at home!!!!!

    There isloads of info on the internet but I thought above was quite useful

    Love
