what does it mean to break the cycle of headaches?

Question

i have been checked for every possible problem with the severe headaches i have. i am now going to a new doctor who says i will have to break the cycle of headaches. what does that mean and how would that be done

Answer 1

I suffer from lifelong migraine headaches. They sem to come in slusters and can last for a couple of weeks. To "break" the cycle, I have to get an injection of "demerol" which pretty much knocks me out for a day. This breaks the pain cycle and cures the headache almost every time. That way I can go with out a headache for months. It just means finding what works for you to break up the headache and get you pain free. For my brother, he uses a nasal inhaler designed for migraines and if he uses it at the first sign of a headache, it prevents it.
Good luck

Yeah you are having migraines. You need to find out what your triggers are. I'm guessing on of them is light (like myself). You may want to invest in a getter pair of sunglasses (make sure they block 100% UV light). Talk to your doctor about what other possible triggers you may have. If you can minimize your contact with your triggers then you will get less migraines. If you start to get a migraine you need to distance yourself from any trigger ASAP. I find that caffeine helps reduce some of the effects of a migraine. I would suggest having Ginger ale around as it will also settle your stomach. As for medication the best two that work for me are Migraine Gel Cap Advil and Migraine Tylenol with Caffeine. If you have a really bad migraine I find it helps to sit (not lay down) in a dark room (I usually go into the bathroom and leave the door just open enough to let some light in) and put a warm compress on the back of my neck and a cool wet washcloth over my eyes.

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
