Coping with Migraines
I have cavernous angiomas and cope with headaches daily. This blog is a place for me to let off steam, and to share unconventional and controversial way of coping. I am not a doctor and have no medical experience. My help is simply based upon experience of having headaches since I was 3.

Disappointment
I got the test back and it was negative.....a pregnancy test. I wanted a baby so bad, despite the fact that it would be super hard on my body that has uncontrolled seizures. It breaks my heart, and I realize that it would be best not to TRY until after my husband gets out of school. TWO YEARS FROM NOW! An eternity away.

New Problems
Well, a new stage of my life might have begun...one that will challenge my ability to cope with nicotine. Dangit! Is it for the best? Maybe.
P.S.- I will keep you updated with the status of my new issue... the vagueness is intended

E-Cig
I have recently found a safer alternative to get the nicotine which helps with my headache. I use an e-cig, electronic cigarrette, throughout the day and have seen great results. I use to spend most of my days in bed with headaches. After smoking my electronic cigarrette throughout the day, I have experienced significant sympton relief.
Yes, nicotine is not the best for my body; however, when I consider how bad all of my migraine preventatives are for me, I can sleep easily.

Migraine's Worst Nightmare: Unconventional Treatment
I know the feeling: agonizing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, irritability, isolation, etc..
So how do I cope?
After having migraines since I was three years old, I finally attempted something so strange and outlandish. Recently married, my husband encouraged me to try dip. Sure, the shit causes cancer....but all of my prescription migraine preventatives and pain relievers are going to kill me eventually, right?
Well, I tried it. Worked like a charm! Thirty minutes later my lip quivered from the nicotine....and I felt...like a someone was giving my brain a massage.
