Migraines = Yummy Treats

“Yummy treats”, you ask with a perplexed look on your face? “I thought all migraines were good for was to provide a healthy dose of torture so I’ll realize exactly how good I have it the rest of the time.”

While you may be right that migraines do help to put the rest of your life into perspective, especially the day after the attack is over. We here in the migraine freedom team have found some actual benefits to your migraine attacks. Read on in astonishment…

1) Joe’s Not So Bad

Who’s Joe you ask and why should I care about whether or not he’s a good guy. Joe’s your morning coffee that’s who. I’m sure after reading my article on migraine triggers that many of you started having nightmares at the thought of potentially having to give up your morning coffee fix. Well while coffee does have a bad rap, it is known as a possible migraine trigger as well as a diuretic (causes your body to lose water potentially leading to dehydration, another migraine trigger), many people have noticed that taking some caffeine at the onset of a migraine attack can help reduce their migraine pain. So be careful especially if you know that caffeine is a trigger for you but its worth testing. Perhaps now we’ll stop getting those angry calls from Starbucks employees.

2) Ginger Is Not Just For Sushi

Did you know that ginger is a common nausea remedy and is regularly used by migraineurs to deal with the nausea that accompanies of migraines. Its been found to only help about 2/3 of people but a 66% chance of relief is better than a 100% chance of nausea in my book.

Some easy ways to take ginger:

Ginger Tea

Ginger Ale (as long as it contains real ginger)

Ginger Beer

3) Treat Yourself To A Nice Sugary Snack

Again you may want to be careful with this tip depending on your specific migraine triggers but I’ve consistently found that my migraines have been accompanied with a craving for a sugary snack or desert. It may be connected to a low blood sugar level which may have been the real migraine trigger. It may also just have been a placebo affect but I’ve found that it has helped me feel better and reduced my migraine pain.

So there you go, you’d never have believed it but this is definitive proof that migraines aren’t all bad since they qualify you for treats, good healthy food and massages (as stated in my article “Tell Your Migraines To Chill Out!”).
