To continue my journal of the last nine months:
04/30/08: The last bit of alcohol that I have consumed to this point was in April when I drank a beer and suffered for about two days after.
05/30/08: No significant changes during May. The daily headaches are pretty much gone, still getting about 1 migraine per week, almost always on weekends.
06/30/08: I had a tough decision to make this month. Was I going to continue drinking coffee or not? I knew deep down inside my heart that the cup I drank on Thursday and Friday were exacerbating the weekend headaches. I drank my last cup the last Friday of June. And of course, paid for it over the weekend. This was the toughest of all habits/addictions to overcome for me. Fortunately I have never been a smoker, that was one thing I didn't have to fight with.
07/07/08: In an attempt to completely root out headaches I started taking the Native Remedies Migone Plus product. Migone Plus is a combination of Feverfew, Milk Thistle and Passiflora.
07/30/08: Today is July 30. Since I have started taking MiGone Plus I have only had one serious migraine. I feel that Migone is helping and I will continue with Migone.
That is my story. I went from having headaches almost every day, 1-2 migraines almost every week and taking 60-75 headache medications of one type or another per month to the point where I have not taken a single OTC headache relief medication in over 4 months. The daily headaches are gone and the migraines are down to 2-3 week intervals. I am quite happy with the results. I can credit several items: prayer, the VEMMA nutritional supplement, eyeglass, good advice from my favorite naturopath, cutting out certain food items such as coffee, alcohol and foods with MSG and the Native Remedies MiGone Plus nutritional aid.
I hope this series of blogs has provided some ideas on how to fight recurring headaches. In my next series I am going to delve into much less known potential causes of headaches, that being the patent foramen ovale and mitra valve prolapse. I hope this will be of a benefit to some as well.
Here's to life and Feeling Outstandng!
