Migraine Mania

Migraine Mania

 

 

Background:

I've been suffering from chronic headache since 4 years now for which I have named migraine after unsuccessful attempt of doctors trying to find what it actually is. CAT, CT scan, X-Ray were performed to determine problems with my head in early 2002. Later the same year I tested my eyes thinking that there might be some causes associated with eyes eventually aiding migraine. All sort possibilities were tried but in vain- no satisfactory results could be derived. I tested my blood to find everything fine. And obviously I tested for migraine whole of my body to the rest.

Present:

I am an Electronics and Communication Engineering student – Junior at present. I am never fresh. I need more time to study than any other thing but the problem lies with the head. Initially I hesitated to say to people that I have got migraine and also the same applies here in blogger- I vacillated first. Slowly I made it thru. Though irregular were posts in those early days and still are- I am inspired to blog record my migraine and severe headaches with fever plus other peripheral complications each day- if possible.

Fact:

I have been sharing my experience with people all around the earth. Please help me. For posts unable to update the same day I assign them date and day to post at my weblog. Your few words count a lot to me.  I have been tracking if visitors really keep interests in matters as such.

Initially I search the Wikipedia for migraine solution but couldn't get satisfactory articles and now I am editing them over there myself. Later, Yahoo search gave me somewhat reasonable points to chronic headaches. I am logging every fact. I am charting fever versus time graphs, degree versus day bar diagrams and even coordinate to display my overall ratings.

Gist:

Besides regular posts on migraine, headache, fever and other medical complications, I will be posting regularly about myself, my experiences and my views regarding such blogging and share points.

WHAT ARE THE LIFESTYLE AND ALTERNATIVE MEASURES FOR PREVENTING MIGRAINE HEADACHES?

Dietary Factors

Avoiding Food Triggers. Avoiding foods that trigger migraine is important in people who are susceptible to these triggers. Keeping a headache diary that includes tracking diet and headache onset can help identify them. [ See Table Foods That May Trigger Migraines.]

Healthy Diet. One study indicates that a diet low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates may significantly reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of migraine headaches. Such a diet is healthy in general in any case.

Eating Regularly. Eating regularly is important to prevent low blood sugar. People with migraines who fast periodically for religious reasons might consider taking preventive medications.

Vitamin B2 Supplements. There is reasonable evidence on the benefits of vitamin B2 for migraine sufferers. In one study, patients who took 400 mg of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) reduced their migraine attacks by half, although the vitamin had no effect on the severity or duration of migraines that did occur. In another study, it helped increase the effectiveness of beta-blockers, drugs used to prevent migraines in some people. Vitamin B2 is generally safe, although some people taking high doses develop diarrhea.

Smelling Pleasurable Foods. One interesting study suggested that smelling certain pleasurable foods may reduce migraine pain. (The study used green apples as part of the experiment; patients with headaches who liked the smell of green apples had less pain. The scent had no effect on those who didn't like the fruit.)

Foods That May Trigger Migraines

Foods and Additives

Responsible Chemical

Beers, wines, certain liquors, cheese and cheese-food products, fresh and processed meat, seafood products, peas, pickles, olives, and sauerkraut.

Tyramine and phenylethylamine. (These chemicals tend to become more potent in foods that are stored improperly.)

 

Apple juice, coffee, red wine, and tea.
 

Tannin.
 

Preservatives in wines, dried fruits, and other products.
 

Sulfites.

A common seasoning, most notably found in food prepared by Chinese restaurants but also contained in many commercial products.

Chocolate.

Artificial sweeteners.

Monosodium glutamate.

Sleep Hygiene

Improving sleep habits is important for everyone, and especially those with headaches.

Aerobic Exercise

Exercise is certainly helpful for relieving stress and an analysis of several studies reported that aerobic exercise might help prevent migraines. It is important, however, to warm up gradually before beginning a session, since sudden, vigorous exercise might actually precipitate or aggravate a migraine attack.

Behavioral Treatments

Behavioral techniques that reduce stress and empower the patient may help some people with migraines. These methods generally include the following:

  • Biofeedback therapy.
     

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy.
     

  • Relaxation techniques.

This approach may help counteract the tendency for muscle contraction and uneven blood flow associated with some headaches. They may be particularly beneficial for pregnant and nursing women, who cannot take most medications.

Biofeedback. Studies have demonstrated some effectiveness from biofeedback for migraine headaches. Biofeedback training teaches the patient to monitor and modify physical responses, such as muscle tension, using special instruments for feedback.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Behavioral therapy may be useful alone but is particularly beneficial for patients who are on preventive drug treatments. It typically employs the headache diary to track activities and headaches. The patient then works with the therapist to change or add behaviors or medications that will reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.

Alternative Treatments

Non-Drug Therapies. Alternative non-drug therapies used for headache management include hypnosis, meditation, visualization and guided imagery, acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, and other relaxation exercises. There is no clear evidence that any of these techniques have specific value for migraines. Some studies report the following:

  • Relaxation Techniques. Muscle relaxation techniques may be helpful. One interesting 2001 study reported that relaxation treatments appeared to help adolescents with migraine but not tension headaches.

     

  • Electrical Stimulation. Small studies have found that therapy with transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) may reduce migraine headache episodes. The procedure involves a very mild electrical sensation across the skin. One course of TENS takes about a half hour. One report suggests that using TENS with acupuncture points, along with self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques, may be an effective management option among patients with migraine headaches, but long-term and well-conducted studies are needed to confirm this.

Feverfew. There is some clinical evidence that the herbal medicine feverfew helps prevent migraines and even help reduce their severity. It should be noted, however, that, like all effective headache remedies over use can cause a rebound effect. Some experts recommend purchasing feverfew in dried leaf form. It appears to be safe, but side effects can be distressing, particularly canker sores in the mouth (5% to 15% of cases) and stomach distress. This agent should not be taken during pregnancy or in women hoping to become pregnant. People with any blood clotting disorders should not take it. As with most alternative medications, herbal products are not government tested or controlled. Many brands do not have enough of the active ingredient to be effective. Be sure to let your doctor know if you are taking an herbal preparation to treat your migraines.

Glucosamine. Glucosamine is a natural substance being used with some success for patients with osteoarthritis. Anecdotal reports are suggesting that the use of this agent may prevent migraines. As with other natural remedies, products are not regulated by the FDA. It is being well studied for arthritis, however, and to date has few side effects. Many available brands (e.g., CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart) are manufactured with appropriate ingredients.

Coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is a natural substance that is important for the transport of electrons. One study reported that patients who took it experienced a significant reduction in migraine headaches after three months.

Magnesium. Studies have reported that some migraine patients, such as women with menstrual migraine, may have a magnesium deficiency. Intravenous magnesium sulfate has been useful for migraine relief in people with low levels of magnesium, although it does not appear to have any benefits for people with normal levels of magnesium. Over-the-counter supplements are of uneven quality and costly, and many magnesium salts are not absorbed well and may cause diarrhea. Studies are underway to determine the most effective magnesium preparation and its benefits, if any, in menstrual migraines.

Migraines linked with brain damage

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor Sun Apr 29, 1:27 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People with migraines also may be suffering from some brain damage as brain cells swell and become starved of oxygen -- a finding that may help explain why migraine sufferers have a higher risk of stroke, researchers reported on Sunday.

Similar brain damage can occur with concussions and after strokes, the researchers said in this week's issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience.

They said their findings suggest that migraine sufferers should not simply get pain relief but should take drugs that prevent the migraine, which is often preceded by "aura" -- a series of visual disturbances that can include flashes of light or black spots.

The research, which was done in mice, also suggests giving oxygen may help reduce the damage, said Takahiro Takano, Maiken Nedergaard and colleagues at the University of Rochester in New York, working with a team at the Danish pharmaceutical group Novo Nordisk.

They studied a process called cortical spreading depression, known as CSD, a wave of changes in cells associated with migraine, stroke and head trauma.

They used a precise two-photon microscopic and oxygen sensor microelectrodes to look at the brains of live mice while they caused this process.

They saw a swelling occur and the brain cells became starved of oxygen. The nerve cells were damaged -- specifically the dendrites, the long, thin spikes that stretch from one nerve cell to another.

28 MILLION SUFFERERS IN U.S.

"This observation may have direct clinical implications, as several lines of work support the notion that cortical spreading depression constitutes the neurological basis of migraine with aura, and spontaneous waves of CSD may contribute to secondary injury in stroke and traumatic brain injury," the researchers wrote.

Migraine is a severe and debilitating form of headache, affecting 28 million people in the United States alone.

Two studies, including one published last week in the Archives in Internal Medicine, show that people who have migraines are more likely to have heart attacks.

A 2004 study in the British Medical Journal found that migraine sufferers are twice as likely to suffer a stroke as people who do not have the headaches.

Women are much more likely to suffer the characteristic pain of a migraine.

Usual pain medication often has little effect on migraine but a class of drugs called triptans, also called serotonin agonists, and ergotamine drugs, can be used to prevent the worst effects if patients take them at the first sign.

Giving the mice rich doses of oxygen seemed to shorten the duration of the wave of brain effects seen in CSD, the researchers said. They noted that migraine and cluster headache patients are sometimes treated with high-pressure oxygen.

It is not clear if the effects of migraine are permanent, the researchers said. Some studies have suggested they are while others have shown no difference in memory and other cognitive effects in migraine patients.

Church Feuds

Church feuds are not uncommon, especially among cliques in the congregation. But when the pastor and choir director get into it, stand aside.

One week our preacher preached on commitment, and how we should dedicate ourselves to service. The director then led the choir in singing, 'I Shall Not Be Moved.'

The next Sunday, the preacher preached on giving and how we should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The choir director then led the song, 'Jesus Paid It All.'

The next Sunday, the preacher preached on gossiping and how we should watch our tongues. The hymn was 'I Love To Tell The Story.'

The preacher became disgusted over the situation, and the next Sunday he told the congregation he was considering resigning. The choir then sang 'Oh, Why Not Tonight.'

When the preacher resigned the next week, he told the church that Jesus had led him there and Jesus was taking him away. The choir then sang, 'What A Friend We Have in Jesus.'

Migraine Headaches

Migraine Headaches as found on Yahoo Health

Treatment Overview

While there is no cure for migraines, you can often reduce and possibly prevent some migraines. Drugs are available to prevent or treat migraines. There is some evidence that taking aspirin along with a drug that helps with nausea, such as metoclopramide (for example, Reglan), may help reduce migraine symptoms. 2

You may also reduce the number of migraines you have by identifying and avoiding triggers that lead to migraines, such as drinking red wine or getting too much or too little sleep.

Initial treatment

At first you may use pain relievers that you can buy without a prescription, such as acetaminophen (for example, Tylenol), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen sodium, to reduce migraine symptoms. Some doctors recommend that you first try an NSAID to see whether it reduces pain before trying abortive or preventive drugs, which may have more side effects. 6

Initial treatment depends on how severe your migraine attacks are and how often they occur, but usually includes drugs to stop a headache (abortive) or drugs to prevent a headache (preventive), along with treatments that may reduce stress.

The most commonly used abortive drugs are:

The most commonly used preventive drugs—used to avoid or reduce the frequency of migraine attacks—include:

  • Beta-blockers, which relax blood vessels.
  • Calcium channel blockers, which reduce the amount of narrowing (constriction) of the blood vessels.
  • Antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, which has been shown to be effective in preventing migraines. 6
  • Anticonvulsants, such as topiramate, which was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for preventing migraines.

Some small studies suggest that the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor lisinopril and the angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) candesarten may reduce the frequency of migraine headaches. However, more research is needed. 7

Antinausea drugs (such as Compazine or Reglan) are sometimes prescribed along with abortive or preventive drugs to relieve symptoms of nausea and vomiting.

Some triptan drugs may also help to prevent migraines in women who get them only around the time of their menstrual period. A recent study suggested that these women may be able to prevent the headache by taking frovatriptan (Frova) for 6 days, starting treatment 2 days before their period begins. 8 Frovatriptan is a triptan drug that is commonly used to relieve migraine pain once the headache has started. Another study suggested that naratriptan may also help prevent these types of menstrual migraines. 9

Complementary therapies may be added to drug treatment to reduce or prevent migraine symptoms. Be sure to ask your doctor before you try these therapies to make sure they are safe for you.

  • Acupuncture, which involves putting very thin needles into the skin at certain points on the body to produce energy flow along the body's meridians. This may help relax muscles and reduce headache pain. 3
  • Biofeedback, a relaxation method for learning to control a body function that is not normally under conscious control, such as muscle tension.
  • Relaxation techniques to reduce stress and tension.
  • Feverfew, which is an herb that may help prevent migraines. More research is still needed to prove its benefits. 4
  • Butterbur, which is an herb that has been shown to help prevent migraines in some people. 10

If you have recently been diagnosed with migraines, see:

Identifying and avoiding migraine triggers

You may also want to learn about drugs that can prevent migraines before they start. For more information, see:

Should I take medicine to prevent migraines?

Ongoing treatment

It is important to develop a treatment plan for ongoing migraines. This may involve finding the right drug for your type of migraine, identifying and avoiding migraine triggers, and avoiding rebound headaches that are caused by overusing migraine drugs. You and your doctor will work together to find the best treatment to relieve or prevent your migraines.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen, may be helpful in reducing migraine symptoms. If NSAIDs stop your migraines, they may be your best treatment because they have fewer side effects than migraine drugs. 6

The most commonly used abortive drugs, used to stop a headache, are:

The most commonly used preventive drugs—used to avoid or reduce the frequency of migraine attacks—include:

  • Beta-blockers, which relax blood vessels.
  • Calcium channel blockers, which reduce the amount of narrowing (constriction) of the blood vessels.
  • Antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, which has been shown to be effective in preventing migraines. 6

Should I take medicine to prevent migraines?

Treatment if the condition gets worse

If you continue to have migraines while receiving treatment, you and your doctor may want to change your abortive or preventive headache drugs or try a different type of migraine drug. If you have already tried several different types of migraine drugs, your doctor may seek additional testing (such as MRI or CT scan) to rule out other causes for your recurring headaches.

It is possible you have been misdiagnosed with migraines when you really have another type of headache. It can be difficult to distinguish migraines from other types of headaches such as sinus, tension, or cluster headaches, as symptoms can be similar or overlap. Different types of headaches require different treatment.

What To Think About

Even with treatment, you may continue to have migraines. The goal of treatment is to reduce the frequency of attacks and relieve your symptoms as quickly as possible with the fewest drug side effects. For mild to moderate migraines, you may first want to try a nonprescription pain reliever that has fewer side effects and is less expensive than other drugs. However, if this treatment is not effective or if you have frequent or severe headaches, prescription drugs may be needed.

Finding an effective medicine may require some time and patience.

Overuse of abortive headache drugs or pain relievers can cause rebound headaches. Rebound headaches are different from migraine headaches. They are usually triggered once pain medicine has worn off, prompting you to take another dose. Eventually you get a headache whenever you stop taking the drug. Be sure to take your migraine medicine only as prescribed by your doctor.

If you think your recurring headaches could be associated with depression or anxiety, be sure to let your doctor know. You may be able to eliminate or reduce some headaches with proper treatment of these conditions.

Migraine worse than anything

Mere days that made me worse hours and weekends over the few months might get lost of me soon- a simple PLAN B. Believing in astrology.... my migraine must end in this October but I am perplexed what the hell in me is crushing like a stone-melted to a pearl theory.
 
These days, the destiny has ruled the utmost stress upon me not even a successfully accomplished tasks for more than 3 weeks and ahead is a final assessment. God! I am dying out of migraine---- anyone listening.

Migraine Today

Todays happens to be another most feverish day for me. I found myself measuring my tongue temperature at 4 in the morning. Surprisingly it was only the body which got heated and the degree was lesser than normal body temperature.
 
No medications are entertained, neither any therapies nor excercises.. not even jogging or trolling nothing world on wheels. But let me write sometimes about this too.
 
I am searching for more blogs on migraine or headaches. Probably a good research is going to be organized... how do sick people (of course I am talking about migrained) get helped by online blogging... I have not yet received a kudo.. oops!
 
Please, refer to my previous post where few links that got produced on searching migraine produced by Google.

Conditions unexpected!

Though I have to face the reality, I had not expected that my two precious weekend days will rot just due to migraine....trying to confiscate myself. Let's have a update fever blogs around 100 and medication sometimes goes on its way.
 
I googled migraine last night to check if any one could help me or is something being done to migrained people like on the web, on the blogger, or elsewhere. I just searched define: migraine to produce these results.
 

Definitions of migraine on the Web:

  • A disorder characterized by recurrent moderate to severe headaches that may be accompanied by dizziness, nausea, vomiting or extreme sensitivity to light and sound.

  • A particular form of recurrent headache that often runs in families. According to the International Headache Society, migraine headache pain must have four of the following characteristics: one-sided, pulsating or throbbing, at least moderate if not severe, and worsened by ordinary daily activities such as climbing stairs or housework. In addition, the pain must be accompanied by either nausea or else sensitivity to light and noise. ...
    www.achenet.org/resources/glossary.php

  • A headache characterized by throbbing head pain, often greater on one side; may be preceded by a warning (aura) and accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound; in rare cases, weakness, language problems, or other neurologic disorders are associated with migraine.

  • a severe headache, usually accompanied by vision problems and/or nausea and vomiting, and that typically recurs
    www.american-depot.com/services/resources_gl_m.asp

  • An often familial symptom complex of periodic attacks of vascular headache, usually temporal and unilateral in onset, commonly associated with irritability, nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, and often photophobia. Attacks are preceded by constriction of the cranial arteries, often with resultant prodromal sensory (especially ocular) symptoms and the spreading depression of Leão; the migraines themselves commence with the vasodilation that follows. [Dorland]

Dreary forehead!!!

Alas! nothing happened, no gentle shower or the morning prayer is going to work out. Got up early in the morning, even before the down. and got a good cool shower, I usually let water pour first at my head.
 
Head going cooler but nothing got better except for few hours after bathing. So, I reached the college after a hour. I was surprised the morning was so cool, was it colder.... But no later of 2 hours, got my head brusted... and things around got revolving dine.
 
I was finding it very hard to synchronise with he teacher but I had to manage after all. Return home after 2 hours of this disgusting phenom. Soon I find myself felt aslept in my bed when I woke up at 1 pm. Wow! I slept from 10 to 1.. but as usual stress is when you woke up and realise that you haven't slept. Anyway, I managed.
 
I haven't measured temperature yet, thinking it around 100. But eye drops are being engaged.
And till, I am able, able to write and email this post to blogger.
