        </a></p>
<p>You know that your migraine isn&#8217;t just a headache. But you may not know that migraine actually is a neurological disease. Affecting one in five women, one in twenty men, and one in twenty children, it&#8217;s a debilitating, complex, and chronic condition that manifests in a combination of symptoms that can include excruciating head pain as well as other distinctive physical and emotional effects. Yet it&#8217;s also a disease that you can get control of, improve, and manage, as Dr. Carolyn Bernstein has discovered in her seventeen years as a Harvard Medical School faculty member and practicing neurologist.</p>
<p>Praised for her excellence and compassion, the founder of the Women&#8217;s Headache Center near Boston, and a migraine sufferer herself, Dr. Bernstein has helped hundreds of her patients get better. Now, with The Migraine Brain, the most comprehensive, up-to-the-minute book on migraines ever written, you will be able to do the same &#8212; reduce the frequency and intensity of your migraines, learn how to prevent and curtail them and how to recover from them more quickly, and mitigate migraine&#8217;s effects on every aspect of your life: in the workplace and at home and during sex and travel. Every migraine is different because everyone who gets a migraine has a distinctive &#8220;Migraine Brain&#8221; with its own sensitivities and triggers. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important for you to develop a personalized wellness plan to radically reduce the number and severity of your migraines.<br />
<span id="more-936"></span><br />
Dr. Bernstein also explains why migraines happen, why they are so often misdiagnosed, and why so few people get the right treatment for them. She reveals the latest research that shows that Migraine Brains share a hypersensitivity to stimuli &#8212; the Migraine Brain can actually look different from others on a brain scan &#8212; and is more likely to experience a cascade of neurological reactions that give rise to the common clusters of migraine symptoms. This breakthrough medical knowledge makes treatment and recovery possible with new migraine-specific drugs as well as with complementary treatments such as yoga, biofeedback, and an exercise regimen.</p>
<p>With the extraordinarily thorough recommendations of The Migraine Brain in your hands, you will be fully equipped with all the latest information you need to understand migraines and to help your family and co-workers understand that migraine isn&#8217;t just a headache: it&#8217;s a serious, yet treatable disease.    </p>

<p>Diana Jo Rossano was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, migraines and TMJ. Not wanting a life of prescription pain medication, she started her research why she was having so much pain.</p>
<p>This pain reduction research is now available to you. If Dr. Rossano can help herself, this information can also help you. The text contains a complete plan from detoxification guidelines to recipes for what to eat to keep your migraines in remission. There is a 6-week plan that breaks the book into lessons.<br />
<span id="more-935"></span><br />
When students have taken this class as a support group, by week three everyone is exchanging recipes with each other because converting old recipes is not difficult once the new lifestyle concept is understood.</p>
<p>Get your life back. Get the pain relief that you have been search for    </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://stopthemigrainemadness.com/blog/migraine-and-the-weather"></g:plusone></div><p>I rarely get migraines now, but I do know that I&#8217;m more likely to get one if a thunderstorm is in the air, then I start to feel better when the &#8220;storm breaks&#8221;. I found an explanation for this that makes a lot of sense &#8211; and a possible solution!</p>
<p>Several hours before a thunderstorm,  low atmospheric pressure causes the number of positive ions in the air to increase dramatically, to levels that sometimes exceed 5000 ions per cm³. In contrast, during a storm, negative ions increase to several thousand per cm³ while positive ions decrease, often to below 500 per cm³.</p>
<p>So it appears to me that the malaise many people suffer before thunderstorms could be due to the excess of positive ions in the air, and relief comes when the balance shifts towards the negative ions.</p>
<p><strong style="line-height: 24px;">What are negative ions?</strong></p>
<p>Technically, negative ions are atoms or molecules of oxygen (or carbon dioxide) in the air that have gained an electron. But what YOU want to know, is how can they benefit you?</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #339966;">Negatively charged molecules of air, or negative ions, promote a sense of well-being for people.&#8217; Charles Wallach, Consultant to the FDA</p>
<p>&#8220;Remember that feeling you&#8217;ve experienced near a waterfall or high in the mountains? Those are two places that thousands of negative ions occur. They create an effect on human biochemistry.&#8221; From the magazine Whole Self, Spring 1991, in article entitled &#8220;Ions and Consciousness&#8221;.</span></em></p>
<p>Negative ions occur naturally in the air and are produced by lightning, ocean surf and waterfalls. There are also electrical devices called &#8216;air ionizers&#8217; that produce negative air ions. Such ionizers have been used in the treatment of seasonal winter depression (SAD).</p>
<p>What if there was portable and affordable device that would let you increase the negative ions in your environment, and promote this feeling of well-being?</p>
<p>In fact there is &#8211; and you can read a whole lot more scientific (and lay-person!) information at the <a title="Ionic Balance Store" href="http://stopthemigrainemadness.com/blog/ionic-balance-shop" target="_blank">Ionic Balance Shop</a>.

<p>Is there any specific information about negative ions and migraine sufferers? Yes!</p>
<h2>Negative ions found to help prevent migraine headaches.</h2>
<p><em>Migraine headaches can originate when an overload of serotonin causes the diameter of blood vessels leading to the brain to dilate, and get wider in the brain. Consequently, blood flow increases, and pain receptors in the vessels are stretched, which leads to the excrutiating pain associated with a migraine headache (Borne, 1998; others). In numerous tests and studies, negative ion treatment has proven to prevent the overproduction of serotonin, and therefore the subsequent migraine headaches (Kreuger, 1957; Soyka, 1991; Sulman, 1974).</em></p>

<h2>I get bad neck &amp; shoulder pain down 1 side which causes terrible migraines about twice a week, know any cures?</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m 24 <strong>and</strong> active. I&#8217;ve tried swimming, but my neck <strong>and</strong> <strong>shoulder</strong> are always tensed up. Massage doesn&#8217;t really help <strong>and</strong> the only painkillers that do anything are Syndol which contain codeine, caffeine <strong>and</strong> a muscle relaxant. People always offer me <strong>migraine</strong> cures but I know that its the neck <strong>pain</strong> that causing the migraines <strong>and</strong> thats what needs treating. help!</p>

<div class="answer">
<h3>Joy answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">I work at a chiropractic clinic, it sounds like a lot of what we treat most days. You could have a trapped nerve in your neck or back, it could also be a repetitive strain injury from swimming or work. Try calling your local chiropractic clinic see if they can help. Many clinics offer free assessments before you sign up for treatment. Good Luck</p>

<h2>Can high fructose corn syrup cause migraines?</h2>
<p>Ive been having <strong>migraines</strong> very frequently for the past year (I&#8217;m only 14) <strong>and</strong> i was wondering if HFCS causes them. Also, can you list other well known causes of <strong>migraines</strong>?</p>

<div class="answer">
<h3>Joy answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">It is possible that high fructose corn syrup could cause your migraines. Read this article about <a title="Migraine and corn" href="http://stopthemigrainemadness.com/blog/migraine-and-corn">migraine and corn</a>.</p>
<p class="dtm-content">Different people have different triggers. Whatever the exact mechanism of the headaches, a number of things may trigger them. Common migraine triggers include:</p>
<p>Hormonal changes in women. Fluctuations in estrogen seem to trigger headaches in many women with known migraines. Women with a history of migraines often report headaches immediately before or during their periods, when they have a major drop in estrogen. Others have an increased tendency to develop migraines during pregnancy or menopause. Hormonal medications — such as oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy — also may worsen migraines, though some women find it&#8217;s beneficial to take them.</p>
<p>Foods. Some migraines appear to be triggered by certain foods. Common offenders include alcohol, especially beer and red wine; aged cheeses; chocolate; aspartame; overuse of caffeine; monosodium glutamate — a key ingredient in some Asian foods; salty foods; and processed foods. Skipping meals or fasting also can trigger migraines.</p>
<p>Stress. Stress at work or home can instigate migraines.</p>
<p>Sensory stimuli. Bright lights and sun glare can produce migraines, as can loud sounds. Unusual smells — including pleasant scents, such as perfume, and unpleasant odors, such as paint thinner and secondhand smoke, can also trigger migraines.</p>
<p>Changes in wake-sleep pattern. Either missing sleep or getting too much sleep may serve as a trigger for migraine attacks in some individuals, as can jet lag.</p>
<p>Physical factors. Intense physical exertion, including sexual activity, may provoke migraines.</p>
<p>Changes in the environment. A change of weather or barometric pressure can prompt a migraine.</p>
<p>Medications. Certain medications can aggravate migraines.</p>

They&#8217;re proteins that resist the heat of cooking, the acid within the stomach, and the intestinal digestive enzymes.</p>
<p>An allergic reaction occurs simply because an allergy antibody known as immunoglobulin (IgE). Another reason why an allergic reason occurs is due to the mast cell, a specialized cell that stores up histamine. The mast cell is usually discovered in the nose, throat, lungs, skin and gastrointestinal tract. The allergen really stimulates lymphocytes to create IgE antibody that&#8217;s utilized specifically against the allergen. The next time the person eats that specific food; allergen concentrates on that particular IgE antibody. Depending upon the tissue in which they&#8217;re released, these chemical substances can trigger various symptoms of food allergy.</p>
<p>Some symptoms of food allergy happen inside a brief time period. A food allergy reaction can be itching in the mouth, difficulty swallowing and breathing. After the food slowly gets digested and enters the stomach, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort can happen. The allergens that are absorbed into the bloodstream can reach the skin and they might trigger hives or eczema and that might result in asthma. Allergic reactions can be harmful if not treated quickly because the body treats the food or substance as a harmful or harmful cell. The body will attempt to fight it and eliminate it, although it&#8217;s harmless. Allergic reactions can be controlled and treated with an inhaler or EpiPen, this allows the person to breathe and be given enough time to rush towards the hospital.</p>

<h2>Amitriptyline and weight gain &#8211; Surely not everyone has this side-effect?</h2>
<p>Hi, l&#8217;ve been prescribed 10mg of Amitriptyline for my migraines (as far as l know this is the lowest dose), <strong>and</strong> whilst the medication is helping me sleep <strong>and</strong> relieving the pain, l&#8217;m worried about all these severe weight gain reports.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve read many things from it&#8217;s because of the <strong>salt</strong> <strong>intake</strong> that you gain water weight, others have gained 2 stone in 2 months which cannot be only water. Increased appetite has also been reported, <strong>and</strong> l guess the main reason for the weight gain.</p>
<p>Surely taking water retention pills <strong>and</strong> not eating anymore than usual should stop any weight gain ?. It seems many are sure they have not upped their food <strong>intake</strong> etc, so l&#8217;m not sure what to think.</p>
<p>Ovbviously we all react to meds differently, but is there anyone out there that has something positive to say about the drug <strong>and</strong> how they managed avoiding the weight gain ?.</p>
<p>Thanks !!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://stopthemigrainemadness.com/blog/migraine-and-festive-cheer"></g:plusone></div><p>As we move into the Christmas and New Year festivities many people crack open slightly more bottles of wine than usual. Some white, some rose and some red.</p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t the first time red wine has been mentioned on this blog and it probably won&#8217;t be the last. But, if red wine is one of your migraine triggers you&#8217;ll be well advised to avoid it over the holiday period.</p>
<p>Often a migraine is triggered by the cumulative effect of several triggers that on their own wouldn&#8217;t cause you a problem.</p>
<p>So poor diet, plus the stress of preparations and (dare I say it?) visitors &#8211; can all pile on the agony; and that glass of wine to relax could actually be the last straw that breaks the camel&#8217;s back and triggers a migraine!</p>
<p>Click to download some free tips on <a title="How to overcome stress" href="http://www.life-coaching-london.co.uk/stress_tips.pdf" target="_blank">how to handle stress</a>. They&#8217;ll stand you in good stead through the holidays, or in everyday life.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;ve also been looking for good news, and it arrived in the form of a website promoting the <a title="Is wine good for me?" href="http://www.red-wine-and-health.com/" target="_blank">health benefits of red wine</a>. You&#8217;ll find extensive information, and of course the obvious warning that moderation is key to all, together with some of the dangers of alcohol abuse.</p>
<div>So head on over this informative <a title="The Benefits of Red Wine" href="http://www.red-wine-and-health.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and you&#8217;ll read some benefits of enjoying one or two glasses of red wine with your festive season meals. Please enjoy alcohol responsibly, and never drink and drive.</div>
<div>Have a very Merry, migraine-free Christmas, and a Happy New Year.</div>
