I hate taking medicine all the time. My schedule is pretty good and I think I eat pretty well; for me, the trigger seems to be environment. When we were in Bethlehem, I got the worst sinus headaches because of the allergens there. My allergies are 100x better here, but the one thing that stresses me out every day? Driving. People here are the worst drivers I've ever seen in my life. Going to the store is more stressful than driving in Manhattan because every SUV has huge dings in the fenders, so I know they've hit or been hit, and they drive like maniacs. At least in NYC I know the taxis know how to drive and arent' going to hit me. Here, it's not an exaggeration to say that I have to avoid at least 1 accident every time I go out. Driving in service is worse because I'm already trying to drive as smoothly as possible while being directed somewhere I don't know - but if I don't drive, I get carsick because people in my hall can't drive either! Maybe I should try those motion sickness patches and lots of classical music.
or massages or chiropractic care. that helps w/headaches and migraines.
I can suggest some non-drug alternatives to ease the pain. Press hard above and/or right between the inside corner of each of your eyebrows. This should ease a little of your tension/stress. Also, have you tried any aromatherapy? And you may want to up your magnesium intake because it has a connection to how you handle pain.
Magnesium? I'll give that a try. I have these little aroma therapy things called "migrastick". they're a mix of peppermint and lavender oil that I rub directly where it hurts. They take away the contact pain and help, but they obviously don't get to the route of the problem.
I do have to find a new chiro here too. I have to make a bunch of calls about that.
dont forget to take calcium w/the magnesium.
Yeah, I definitely don't get enough calcium because I don't like milk or yogurt. I'd rather take tons of vitamins than chemical medicines.
oranges are a great source of calcium.
really? I didn't know that. I eat tons of lemons, I wonder if they're a good source of calcium too?
yeah if you dont you'll start getting leg cramps. i learned the hard way. not good.
