For the fastest migraine release, I use ice on the head and heat on the back of the neck. In terms of pain killers, I have tried them all. Now, I am trying Neurontin, and it does mummify the most desperate of pain in the brain, as well as any of the pain killers that are non addictive. And it is better than some of the pain killers that I have been given that are addictive. It is mostly a mental health drug, but it seems to work rather well with my MCS brain pain.
You must fight this thing all the time in terms of trying to keep muscle tone. That is central. those EI people who do not try to work out, eventually have less and less options in terms of being able to do things. Even one pound bar bells work.
Everyone should read Lynn Lawson's book and Pamela Reed Gibson has a rather nice survival guide. My original doctor was Theron Randolph. One of his favorite lines was " There is no such thing as a safe pesticide."
