Actually learned something on Facebook and it worked!!

You always see the Forward this post, watch this video or some crazy survey that lets you know what Sesame Street character you are most like. Which I am Abby Cadabby of course, who didn't know this already!!

But I did come across one interesting story that was labeled "How to Ease Migraines".  And of course this caught my eye since I suffer from them and most of the women in my family have them too.  Seems that my son has been cursed with the lovely gene as well UGH.   

When you have your head on edge of exploding at any moment find a sink where you have enough room to sit on the edge of it so you are able to submerse both your hands and feet.   You can also use your bathtub as well just make sure you sit on the edge and not inside of the tub. Make sure you also have an icepack with you as well.

Stop up the drain and fill the area with hot water, hot enough that you can stand it without burning the layers of your skin off.  That will have to be a whole other post.  As your sink/tub fill up place your feet in the water than just before it gets to full and overflows turn the water off, place the icepack on the base of your neck and then submerge your free hand in the water.    From here I normally rest my head on knee, close my eyes and sometimes if I am lucky I can fall asleep for a few minutes.

The time for getting out of the water is really up to that person. Words of advise, once you have removed the icepack and raised your head from being lowered take a moment or two to gather your stability before standing.  I am usually a little dizzy from this for a moment of two.

From what I have researched (other than Facebook) the reason for doing this method is because this  lowers the blood pressure from your head (icepack) and brings the blood down to your arms and legs (hot water).  This is also explains the dizziness when first removing the icepack.

I swear by this!!  I have done this 4 different times and each time it has worked and I no longer had the migraine for the day!!.  Now I am no Doctor or Medical Professional but I am a Migraine Suffer and wanted to pass this info to you.

I hope this helps!
