Hi Pamster

Here are some ideas to get healed. #10 is the most important.

Cause
This is often the result of a disturbance in some other part of the body, such as digestive disorders in the stomach, liver or bowel; problems in the abdominal area; menstrual irregularities, impingements in the cervical; concussion, eye strain, nervous excitement, fatigue, etc. The headache is a mechanism which signals some serious problem elsewhere. The common headache is due to faulty elimination, and the waste matter causes problems until the toxic wastes reach the stomach nerves and affects them. Sometimes headaches are caused from panic, fear, or worrying about the unknown. Headaches of this type are the hardest to relieve, generally requiring something strong like a heavy nervine tea with lobelia in it to diminish the nervous excitement. A nerve tea such as valerian or skullcap with a few drops of tincture of lobelia to a cup will give relief.

Food allergies are another very common cause of headache. The worst culprit is sugar; I have experienced sugar headaches, which are sort of a withdrawal; you eat the sugar, and then as the body is trying to eliminate the toxic substance, your head pounds. Cheese commonly causes headaches, probably the worst of the dairy products for this, although allergies to any of them may cause the pain. Meats and eggs are also common allergens.

Quick Action Plan for Headaches

1. Since food allergies can play a role in over 90 percent of certain types of headaches, such as migraine, it is important that you be screened for food allergies and sensitivities, and avoid eating all foods that you are allergic or sensitive to.

2. Emphasize a diet of fresh, organic foods with an emphasis on vegetables, especially dark leafy green vegetables, salads, free-range organic poultry, wild-caught, cold-water fish, and non-gluten, complex carbohydrate foods, such as red potatoes, squash, and yams.

3. A helpful dietary remedy for headaches is “potassium broth,” which can be made by combining washed but unpeeled carrots and potatoes with a variety of potassium-rich green vegetables into a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, and then simmer for ten to 15 minutes, then strain out the broth and sip it throughout the day.

4. To help prevent and reverse headaches, supplement with B-complex vitamins, vitamin B3, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, along with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), evening primrose oil, and the amino acid DL-phenylalanine.

5. Certain herbs can also help prevent and reduce headache symptoms. These include bay leaves, cayenne pepper, chamomile, coriander, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginger, skullcap, turmeric, valerian root, wild yam, and willow bark.

6. Since headaches are often due to chronic muscle tension and/or muscle spasm, bodywork can be extremely helpful in minimizing the risk of headaches, especially Alexander Technique, Bowen Therapy, Feldenkrais, massage therapy, Polarity therapy, Structural Integration and Rolfing.

7. Hot baths, saunas, and steam baths can help ease headache pain by increasing blood circulation and easing muscle tension.

8. Learning how to cope with daily stress by practicing relaxation exercises can also significantly reduce the incidence of headaches. One of the simplest methods of relaxation is simply to close your eyes as you sit comfortably in a chair, breathing gently and deeply through your belly. Do this for five minutes at a time and repeat throughout the day.

9. At the first sign of migraine symptoms, add two tablets of Alka-Seltzer Gold to a glass of water and drink immediately. This simple technique can often halt migraine symptoms very quickly.

10. Do a colon cleanse to clean out the toxins in the body. When toxins sit in the colon they eventually get into the blood and this is the major reason for disease and illness.

Best of health to you

Cheers

Answer 2

I'm no doctor, but I used to get horrible headaches and finally got rid of them when I had my teeth filed so my bite was corrected. When my headache came back years later, I discovered that I had an abcessed tooth for years and didn't even know it. I had a root canal and not only did the headache go away, my breathing cleared up and swelling in my face (that I didn't even know was there) went away. I know that these are not related to bladder surgery, but your headache may be caused something totally un-related. It may even be stress that is causing you to grind your teeth. The point is, don't become too pre-occupied by the gall bladder surger when trying to find a reason for your headache. It may or may not be related. If you focus solely on your gall bladder surgury as the cause you may miss the another possible cause.

I have this problem too. It is very difficult to go out because someone who is wearing perfume, thinking they are making the world more pleasant, can virtually poison me. The magnesium idea is good. You can take even more than the other answer suggested.

I have trouble feeding my horses in the evening because my neighbors are drying their laundry with softener sheets in the dryer. Yikes!

WalMart had started selling MigraSolve, herb and supplements capsules. It is about $10 for a month's worth there or $50 a month from other sources. It helps, too. It has burr oak extract. You need the petadolex extract, since it makes it safe for your liver.

Drink plenty of water, too.

Answer 4

I can understand this!! I have been able to manage the migraines much better by taking 500 mg chelated magnesium per day (split into two doses). My triggers are generally more visual but smells can trigger this for me. But it's been in better control over the past few years with the magnesium.
