RE: How knitting and crochet helps to cope with pain and depression
Have you tried ice? I am sure you probably have, but if not...take a regular water bottle, fill most of the way with water, and keep it in the freezer. Migraines happen when blood rushes up the neck...so at the first aura signs, lay down on the floor on the back and put the frozen water bottle under the neck. You can use a towel or T-shirt to make it not too shocking.
This slows the blood enough that it is not rushing, and so reduces the migraine...
also Peppermint oil, rub a drop on the temples, and back of neck up near the base of the skull.
I have recipes for migraine tea, and an oil mixture...if you would like I can make a post on them for you...
Thank you for this tip, I usually use ice on my forehead I never tried it in on my neck. Peppermint oil sadly does not have any effect on, sometimes on the contrary, because I cannot stand strong smells when I have migraines. (I also tried lavender oil, which is not so strong, but it doesn't help ...)
If you would write some tips down, this would be absolutely helpful. I believe there are so many people who suffer from migraines, and everyone reacts positive to different kinds of treatments. I myself am sometimes a little bit tired of trying out, because so long nothing really improved my condition (I tried, feverfew, butterbur, magnesium, Q10, B1, ginger, running, yoga, taiji… )
I am looking forward to your post 💕
