Migraine Trouble

Okay, I'm sitting at my desk at work typing this, just waiting for the rush hour traffic to clear out a bit before I leave. I'm not sure I could handle the traffic today. You see I have a killer migraine. It started on Monday and despite my best efforts to get it to STOP, it continues. And yest, I've taken all my prescribed medication. But, still no help. Argh!! So, I think I'm going to have to wrap things up here, head home to a quiet, dark room for a while.

I'll be back when I'm feeling better.

Until then,
~Cheryl

I will tell you...I have been a migraine sufferer for years. here is what knocks mine out every time (as weird as it sounds):

I have a rice sock I've made from a men's tube sock filled halfway with white rice and tied in a knot. Throw it in the microwave for a few minutes (til it's nice and warm/hot).

Next, dab (or smear in my case!) Vick's VapoRub under your nose, lie down with the rice sock over your eyes and let the moist heat sootheeeeeee. I make mine long enough to wear it wrapped around the back of my neck on the side that's hurting.

It sounds weird, but it is wonderful!

'Hoping this finds you feeling better, Cheryl. You know I sympathize.

I never had heard of the rice sock with Vicks ... I always gravitate toward an ice pack ... But hey, there are times when I'd be willing to try just about anything!
