Comments on: How to Avoid Getting Migraines

on 4/24/2007 I get migraine attacks due to lack of sleep and improper food intake. If i eat and sleep on time, plus avoid direct sunlight in the noon times.

on 12/28/2006 I suffered from regular migraines for some time, nothing seemed to help - as an avid bodybuilder w/good dietary and excercise habits I could rule those out right away.. after some research online I tried a daily inclusion (more if already taking - any if not) of a good B complex, Omega3, and L-Tyrosine. First time I used the combination while having a migraine and I had relief quickly, and I haven't had a migariane since. As a result, I buy the theory that migraines are a result of low serotonin levels... but I am just a guy, not a Dr. ... consult your own or give it a whirl. It helped me instantly, so I bet it would work for others.

on 9/20/2006 I've never consulted a doctor with regard to my migraine. I just observed my daily activities and my diet. When I started playing more basketball and avoided those sweets (chocolates and soda) my headaches stopped!

on 6/30/2006 Whatever you may have heard, migraines are not just severe headaches. Therefore, if you experience migraines (an expanding of the blood vessels in the brain) caffeine often helps. Normal pain killers, such as Tylenol and aspirin (which are meant for headaches, a constriction of the blood vessels) will actually worsen the symptoms.

on 2/20/2006 I was treated for years by a neurologist for migraines. All that time I drank diet pop with Nutra Sweet. When I discontinued drinking Nutra Sweet my headaches stopped immediately and I no longer get them.

on 2/10/2006 I believe the best way to avoid migraines is to watch your diet and stay away from foods that trigger them. Caffeine is the number one source to migraines, so stay away from it! Also, doing the right amount of exercise each day helps keep your body clean and helps keep away those miserable headaches!

on 11/22/2005 When my baby was born and there was so much chaos in the house I was eating peanut butter sandwiches 3-4 times daily and the migraines never stopped til I quit the peanut butter.

on 11/22/2005 When I cut fat from my diet I found my migraines diminished greatly!

on 11/22/2005 Dr. Harvey Featherstone in Ruidoso, NM is a migraine specialist. Has made a tremendous difference in my life. He believes that migraines are cause by lack of seratonin in brain. Treatment consists of anti-seizure medications. (505) 630-1515.

on 11/22/2005 I have learned that migraines are an electrical charge which affects several areas of the brain together or, singularly.
Like a hose ready to burst ... it finds the weakest spot and attacks that. Causes are many as stated by Ms. Tresl R.N.
