Migraine Headache Relief



To the right is my 5 year old grand-daughter Aaliyah. Now she looks like she is feeling outstanding!

Have you ever had a headache? Have you ever had a migraine headache? Have you ever had a headache that felt so bad that you wondered if you were going to live through the night? Have you ever had headaches so bad and so often that you were not sure life was worth living?

I was speaking to a person the other day who told me he never had a headache. I paused for a moment, and asked him "Never?" His response was "Yes, never." I couldn't believe it. I still have a hard time believing it. Never???!!! What a blessed person. If any of you never, or rarely have headaches, count this as an outstanding blessing.

I'm going to be talking to you as a person who has had headaches, migraine headaches, as long as I can remember. I can remember as a boy getting these awful headaches but not wanting to tell anybody about them. I didn't want to appear weaker than others and I wanted to participate in sports and games so much that I just suffered. I can remember as a young adult the headaches getting worse and more frequent. I can remember from about ten years ago up until January of this year having headaches of one degree or another nearly every day.

I also remember lying in bed for one or two or three days in a row in abject misery wondering if I would make to the next day, wondering if I even wanted to make it to the next day. The pain being so intense that I couldn't do anything but lay down in a fetal position. Sleep was almost impossible to come by. All I could do was lay down and try to keep my mind on something other than the pain. Migraine headaches have got to be one of the most painful experiences a person can undergo.

I struggled and searched for answers. Over the past 35 years I have went to several naturopathic physicians, neurologists, accupuncture specialists, spinologists, M.D.'s, chiropractors, cranial-sacral chiropractors, massage therapists, integrated medical doctors, homeopathic doctors, etc. I tried several different things on my own including many nutritional supplements. Some had limited success, some had no success.

The good news is that over the past six months my situation has changed for the better very much. So much so that I would like to spend the next few days telling you about it and what led up to it.
