Comments on: My…graines… http://lawandmotherhood.com/2008/09/15/mygraines/ A Lawyer/Mom’s life is made up of two separate, yet equally important parts; the time spent building a law practice, and the hours spent reading 'The Belly Button Book". This is my story.

My midwife recommended a tincture for my PMS symptoms; mainly to help with my mood swings, but it also helps with my headaches as well. I was just cursing myself for not taking it regularly this month because I have a raging headache now. And it made me think of you & your migraines. What Tracey recommended was called Female Balance & I get it at the Apothecary Tinctura on 6th Ave. The staff there is really great & could probably recommend something that might help. Mine is on a lesser scale than yours, but since they are both hormonal, just thought it might give you a starting place that you may not have tried yet. And I unfortunately have a plethora of knowledge about migraines because of Ben so if you want other ideas of areas to try, let me know & I will share. Have you ever tried any herbs or tinctures?

Maybe it's time for acupuncture or other holistic treatments? *hugs* Believe me, my dear, I am sympathetic. Maybe it’s time for acupuncture or other holistic treatments?

I've never had to go through the gamut for testing- they've always been eager to give me a prescription for Maxalt or Imitrex. I suppose not everyone is lucky enough to have a magic pill that works so well for them. Hope you get to feeling better soon. These stretches help me stave off attacks sometimes, but I do them when I feel it coming on. http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/yoga-and-health/yoga-for-migraine.asp I feel for you.
