Permanent migraine headaches relief involves more than just taking
medications. Medication is only meant as a short-term solution for when
your symptoms become too intolerable.
But putting an end to these
painful and disabling headaches can be accomplished. But it will take
some persistent effort and a willingness to listen the signals your body
is giving you.
Migraine Headaches Relief - Treatment
IDENTIFY TRIGGERS
Learning
to identify your triggers is by far the most important step in learning
to live a life free of the pain of migraines. Too many people find this
task too daunting and head back to their doctor for relief.
The
doctor's answer is always more medication and then the sufferer is back
in the cycle of rebound headaches. The usefulness of medication for
migraine headaches lies in its ability to abort migraine headaches IN
PROGRESS. But this needs to be used sparingly and with more than a fair
share of caution.
If you are banking on drugs to be your principal
treatment for migraine headaches relief, you are setting yourself up
for endless migraines.
Doctor prescribed and over-the-counter
medications, if used more than a few times a month, will hurl you smack
dab in the middle of a horrible cycle of rebound headaches that may be
very hard to free yourself from. Many people who are reading this
article right now may be suffering from rebound headaches without even
being aware of it.
Don't get too stressed out if this is the case.
This treatment for migraine headaches relief will safely take you out of that cycle.
You MUST identify your migraine headache triggers before embarking on any effective treatment for migraine headaches relief.
Of course, this is easier to say than it is to actually do it.
This
is precisely why so many migraine sufferers have such a difficult time
finding an effective treatment for migraine headaches relief.
You need to write a list of all of your possible migraine headache triggers and eliminate them ALL at once.
I know, this is a very difficult task.
Some
of the possible triggers you may find hard to live without. But, here's
the good news: you don't have to live without all of these potential
triggers forever.
As soon as you are CERTAIN that a particular
potential trigger is not an ACTUAL trigger, you can add it back it into
your life. You can slowly start adding items back into your life using
this method.
But, before anything, you MUST ELIMINATE ALL OF THEM -
at once. This is the only way you can begin a treatment for migraine
headaches relief that is going to be truly effective.
WHY DO ALL THE POTENTIAL TRIGGERS NEED TO BE CUT OUT AT ONCE?
The
answer to this question is that if you don't cut out all the triggers
at once, there is a great likelihood you will leave out some of the
triggers.
This will mean more migraine headaches, and it's very
likely you will abandon the migraine headache treatment thinking it
completely failed.
The reason I say this is because this was my experience for over 10 years.
