Re:migraines and cooling pads

[Guest guest]

hi ken! i have been deluged with migraines lately, and

haven;t beenable to function, let alone be on the

computer. i really had to comment about these coling

pads. they are an improvement over baggies in that

they don't DRIP!!!!!

> Amazing that we are inventing cooling pads! What

matter, the baggie with ice cubes?

THe other thing is the weight of an ice pack and

trying to hold it in place and work at the same time.

what amazes me is the number of people who refuse to

do the one thing that really helps; GO TO BED and try

to relax and sleep, with appropriate meds, of course.

the sad fact is that we NEED to work to support the

meds needed to stop the migraine!

i have tried these pads and didn't find them to be

that helpful, though. the new cooling pads for kids

when they have a fever may help more.

i find that i need intense pressure on the throbbing

point to really help. i tie a scarf with a know in it

as tight as possible around ny head; the knot is put

on the worst area of throbbing. then my sunglasses

complete the ensemble...lololol

it is a sight even my neighbors have become familiar

with; not a fashion statement, but a FUNCTION reality.

i have to agree with the arthritis study...DUH; if i

could sleep i would sleep better andvice versa!!!what

idiot came to this conclusion ??? isn't this the

truth about All pain?????!!!!!

My Reality Check bounced.
