Jess, when you park your trailer at your new property please do some preps so mice don't make themselves at home in your new rv since there won't be movement in it while y'all are not there. We always get Irish Spring bar soap and place bars (opened boxes) all over along the pop outs on the floor, and Bounce dryer sheets in cabinets, closets and drawers. We also spray peppermint oil dialuted in some water around the tires of the rv when storing or parking our rv for periods of time because mice hate strong smells. Trust me, if you don't do something they'll make themselves comfy.

[@Lauradicus]

Or, if you sprinkle cinnamon outside around the perimeter of the MH... I can’t stand the smell of Irish Spring or Bounce drier sheets!

[@nancyhinds3821]

@@Lauradicus I had a mouse problem in my outside parked car for years and I now use full strength chili oil (Asian section of the grocery store) in a sprayer bottle. I sprayed everywhere they were chewing up tubing, wiring, and insulation from my hood. Just remember to mention it to anyone who may be working on your vehicle! They also destroyed my A/C fan a few times by drying up inside and making big noises! I also detest the Irish Spring smell! Achoo!

[@chachadodds5860]

Peppermint oil,, does work quite well, just be careful with putting it on or near tires. Essential oils will disintegrate rubber, and anything synthetic, such as plastic, polyester, nylon, elastic, ppe, etc. Even if you don't put it directly on them, overspray of any essential oil, will do the same. Hopefully, you've got covers on your tires. Check them before hitting the road again, just to be safe.

[@marilee324]

wish I new this 3 years ago. I have been using glue traps to get rid of my "unwanted tenants" and it seems to be working but I will take your advice at the end of this season when I pickle the camper for winter.

[@blynnwil]

Jess, Yes mice will definitely take over if you don’t take precautions! Love, your grandma😂

[@diananazaroff5266]

My mother used to suffer from frequent migraines. An old family doctor prescribed Empirin (an aspirin), an ice pack for her forehead and mustard powder in a warm foot bath. Explanation was that the aspirin helped to relieve the headache, the ice pack helped to reduce any swelling of blood vessels in the head and the mustard water (don't put too much in it or it'll get HOT) created heat that helped to pull the blood away from the head and down to the feet. Mom once had a headache for over 2 days and when we tried this, it was gone within 10-15 minutes. It took another day to get totally well, but it worked. I remember getting the mustard water bath for her. It was about 50 years ago...

[@marandaranda]

“KZbin mommas and grandparents” love it! Out here building walls of prayer for you and yours

[@deedeenvegas]

I am someone who gets migraines and what is listed above is always what works. Lots of fluids and lots of sleep and lots of darkness

[@denissesantamaria8194]

I get migraines every other month or so, usually couple days before having my period if i have been stressed, dont sleep or eat well or i spend a long time under the sun. Something interesting i found out was that my husband smell helps me (he always smells really nice and that makes me happy). One Time i was having one and he hugged me and the pain just dissapeared so now when im going trough one i just take deep breaths on his chest. I read that migraines are caused for an estrogen change so i guess for me being with him makes me happy and feel good and produce estrogen 😅

[@alyjohnson5637]

Caffeine and potassium can help for migraines. Also pay attention to small headaches, or weird vision issues. I get "auras" that tell me that a migraine is imminent. Anything thing you can do before the onset of pain will reduce and can help avoid the full migraine. Hope all the advice helps.

[@emilybh6255]

Caffeine should not be recommended for someone who already drinks too much caffeine.

[@KeepGrowingWithMara]

@@emilybh6255 I am probably someone who drinks "too much" caffeine, but if I feel a migraine coming on, I'm going to grab me a coke and excedrin migraine. Whatever works to stop the pain and that's what works for me and a lot of other people.

[@jax-zm1bb]

Read the book "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" by Your Body's Many Cries for Water by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. SALT is what you need for your body to utilize water efficiently at the cellular level. Not white processed table salt which is actually poison, but Pink Himalayan or Celtic Sea Salt that have valuable trace minerals in them.

[@emilybh6255]

You mean they help WITH migraines.

[@suziedennis]

Peppermint essential oil in a carrier oil in a rollerball bottle. Apply around the hairline completely around the head. Reapply every hour or 2. The Excedrin migraine is great, sometimes I have to alternate doses with Advil cold and sinus medication. Ice pack on top of my head and go to bed in a dark room. Weather changes often bring on my migraines. Blah. Nothing worse.

[@deejenkins8314]

I have had chronic migraines since I was 3 so it is every day life for me. I get 2-3 a week and they are resistant to most medicinal treatments at this point. Dark room , hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and try to sleep. Prayers that yours are only temporary. 🙏

[@kelollman]

"KZbin Mamma's and Daddies" - I love it! Because I do consider you family, even though we've never met. I'm glad you are feeling better, Jess. And I'm so happy for all the blessings you've received recently. I can't think of a more deserving family.

[@farmwoodfrenchies9248]

Fluids and sleep are the best. Caffeine can actually help, so some black tea or coffee can actually do you good. I tend to get them where there is a lot of pain and sensitivity in my eyes- so I make rice pads and keep them in the freezer. That way you can put a cold pack over your eyes to help with some pain. ❤️

[@brylenebutler]

I am so glad you guys are taking precautions with your safety :)

[@gramcrackergrammy]

I work at a health food store and we have a migraine protocol. It is magnesium, valerian root and vitamin B6. If you take these every day as instructed on the bottles, migraines will be less in number and more bearable. Not 100% foolproof, but a good place to start. We have a lot of happy customers. 😎 Also, make sure you are staying hydrated.

[@cristinakollet9531]

Drink water--dehydration can be a factor in migraines. Rest in a dark, quiet room. Ice packs help.

[@chrystallangille1667]

My daughter gets migranes when she is low on water consumption. I keep on her about it.

[@emilybh6255]

Drinking water does not hydrate you as well as eating raw fruit which contains perfectly balanced, perfectly pure water. If the truth be told, most of our diet should be comprised of pure water rich fruit grown in Nature. Cooking food - especially baking and frying and grilling removes all the water and just helps to dehydrate us not to mention the huge reduction in nutrition that takes place.

[@CrossPatchDi]

Your garden is beautiful.

[@milliethemillinator3154]

Dehydration due to more coffee than water, or allergy meds that dry me out, are usually the two culprits for me. Sleep and ibuprofen is the only thing that helps for mine. Sometimes NatraBio- Migraine tablets help, they're homeopathic meds. Pretty inexpensive and worth having on hand.

[@samanthaamclean]

I also find that a cold pack on the back of your neck at the base of your skull works. I also find mine are triggered by stress. And if I eat chocolate within 72 of one finishing I can trigger a follow on migraine. I hope this helps.

[@samanthaburke2427]

Frequent migraine sufferer here 🤚 Just gotta wait it out unless pain killers work for you. Sleep & icepack work wonders. When I get nauseous showers help temporarily but it usually comes up, recently was sick 5 or 6 times in 24 hours!

[@kathleenblight5071]

I have found that the first day after the migraine eases I feel very very fragile inside. Not that there is anything wrong at that point but it's my body saying we have been through heck so take it easier and dont rush back into normal for a day or two. I have learned to pay attention to that fragile feeling! Fluids, sleep, cool damp wash clothes for my face, dim or no light at all and no sounds above a whisper and then be prepared to throw up towards the end of the cycle are my indicators and how I treat it to get through it. Hang tough, it's probably just the mountain of stress you all are going through right now Try to take it a little easier on yourselves through all of this :)

[@marycookson7800]

When I had migraines I would lay on my bed with my head at the foot hanging over and one of my daughters would take my hairbrush and brush my hair to get the blood flow to my head after about 15 minutes it lightened up also sleep in a dark cover the windows other than that I had to go on blood pressure medication check your blood pressure

[@happygranolamama5729]

I used to get debilitating migraines and I have found that a tablespoon of ACV in water or juice at onset has gotten rid of my migraines in about 20 minutes. I have been doing this for a few years now and it works for me.

[@vj563]

When mine get really bad I take some excedrin, take a cold compress to put on my forehead while I lay down in a cool dark room and try to sleep. I usually feel better when I wake up.

[@ruabadkitty]

I have had migraines for years from nerve damage when I broke my neck. I take anti-inflammatory medicine, but you can use Naproxen over the counter and I use gel packs on my eyes but what does the real trick is I have a spot in the bottom of my closet where it is dark. I make a little bed down there and block out all the light. You may not have to go as far as the closet but most people don't know to use the anti-inflammatory and cold packs on eyes. Darkness is my best friend when the migraines come. lol . I hope you feel better and they don't come back. They are brutal. God Bless you.

[@normagrayston7931]

With me I feel relief if I throw up.Then I drink a ton of water. Lay down in a dark room for a few hours. Then I feel so much better.

[@ddtwilight]

I get a form of migraine that causes vision problems. I find that increasing your water intake can really make a difference in preventing migraines and although it is important to speed your recovery, it will not get you functioning if you need to ; for instance...see. I have found that therapeutic grade peppermint essential oil applied to the back of your neck on the area of your brain stem and your temples and forehead ; then applying a hot washcloth really helps. I find that my vision is restored in about 15 minutes. I usually have to repeat the process some time later in the day, but that usually takes care of it enough to function somewhat normally.

[@linda19783]

Hi Jess, my husband has cluster migrains. Worst kind ever. Medical treatment and medicine is the final step. Caffeine and dark chocolate are a go to, also chocolate milk is another along with what you did, ice and massage help. Avoid certain foods are also something you can look into. Mostly processed foods are a trigger with stressors. I know you eat extremely healthy, but believe it or there is actually a list out there. I was shocked. Hopefully soon you will get your stress under control, God Bless. Love your camper.🙏💗

[@kristinamarillas2694]

When I get a migraine if I put pressure on my head like I'm gripping a basketball for about 10 minutes at a time it gives me relief....my migraines onset from stress and screen time...I hope this helps 💓

[@VLynnie]

That's a spacious RV. Blessings!

[@gigi2fun]

I used to use Sudafed and Tylenol. Now I use only essential oils, specifically Frankincense and Copiaba. No more over the counter meds anymore! Good luck darlin, Hubby and I are both migraine kids!

[@lovedbythebestful]

Caffeine can help a headache and also drinking gatorade or sometimes Pedialyte if you get to a point your getting sick. Rest and knowing this won’t last forever.

[@hollyshepard9620]

I also put some lavender essential oil behind my ears for the migraine. Also you may want to spray for ants when you set up camper

[@michelealaimo4931]

Caffeine helps me when I have a migraine. It does not completely get rid of it but it does make it more manageable.

[@GMarieWrites]

I go through phases with mild to moderate migraines. What works for me is extra water, extra sleep, a high protein meal, and I drink a real sugar Pepsi or coke as early in the migraine as possible. Something about the caffeine and carbonation helps. I don’t drink a lot of soda otherwise. And I cannot drink diet sodas or eat anything with artificial sweetener - that triggers migraines for me.

[@GMarieWrites]

Also I keep Excedrin Migraine on hand - only OTC that touches my headaches.

[@margaretjohnson8322]

Love the camper, ours is small. My first time watching. Your garden is amazing. I live in Georgia, so we will be neighbors.

[@shagerty131]

Sleep, magnesium, b12, water, cold ice pack on the back of the neck and low light settings. Stress could absolutely be the triggering factor. I'm usually down for 3 days with one.

[@PatricesProjects]

I suffered hormonal migraines for year. I actually had a running one that started about 3 or 4 months after my 25 year old daughter was born, until a few months into the pregnancy of my youngest son 4 years later. Obviously my experience was completely different than most. I was on pharmaceuticals most of the time.

[@reneeclark9903]

Migraines are the worst. As a chronic migraine sufferer I recommend cool pack to the back of the neck. Eye masks that block light. Extra fluids and napping in a dark room. Some oils are said to help but I haven't tried them.

[@mlcx4800]

2 years ago, a neurologist recommended I take some Advil with coke or pepsi instead of taking it with water and it works, when I feel a migraine coming I quickly take the aspirin with cola and literally 10 mins after I’m good. I’m not a big soda drinker so a few good gulps work for me, hopefully it works for you. And I love your garden!!!

[@beckytroyer352]

Migraine symptoms can last 10 days, its horrible. I also call it a migraine hangover and for me it usually lasts at least 4 days of extra tiredness, mild headache and nausea. I always eat a banana and get some electrolytes in me to help balance my system, especially in my Florida summers. Whenever I get headaches I have had to force myself into the habit of taking tylenol as early on as possible and that seems to be the most effective way to nip it in the bud before it gets severe.

[@KerryBlue72]

Wear sunglasses around a migraine- some can start with eye strain or fatigue. Go straight to a dark & quiet room and try not to stress about it- stress makes migraines clamp down harder on your brain. We use butalbital med when needed.

[@SarahatTheParmFarm]

Dim lights, sleep, water, peppermint oil

[@terriellenhenninger7938]

I love how much you love your garden.

[@notdiyheather]

You did good things to take care of the migraine. Rest, fluids. I find electrolytes and B vitamins help. And essential oils. I get nauseated with mine so the essential oils really help that. Your camper is amazing! The double slides will be awesome for the family.

[@danabinkley7337]

Many times migraines are hormonal. As soon as you feel it, immediately take some ibuprofen or similar product, and lay down in a dark, QUIET room. That works for me, but you have to do this when you first feel it coming on.

[@grantwhite7337]

That is one wide camper! It’s amazing!

[@thistlehillhomestead8675]

I get migraines. I’m just getting over one today. I get very nauseous with mine sometimes. Those fever cold pack things that they sell at drug stores for kids help me so much. I also just sleep. A dark room is a must and just sleep.

[@jeanettethiessen2476]

Your garden is amazing! I live in northern Canada so don’t have the same kind of growing season as you do, however so inspiring.

[@bethz.5358]

Migraines suck! I usually have to turn off all lights and put an ice pack on my forehead and back of my neck. Or a wet washcloth over my face. Sometimes a bath or hot shower helps but i think that just helps me take my mind off. If I can nap, I usually wake up feeling better.

[@margaretspillyard3970]

I have had migraines all my life. I have to take medicine for them, but I lay down in a cool, dark room with a cold rag over my eyes and back of neck. Also a coke icee/ Popsicles help.

[@lynhodge8685]

Praying for a smooth transition! Very excited for you.

[@robinwilson9008]

If you grow feverfew, use it as a tea for your migraines.

[@melissagonzalez9807]

In addition to fluids, I sleep or at the very least lay down in a dark and quiet (preferrably silent) spot. I ice my head, neck and back to numb the pain. I also use acupressure points. 1) I take either hand. Using my opposite hand or a volunteer, I press on the flesh in between my thumb and index finger. I hold for however many seconds it takes for the pain to dissipate 2) Using my thumb, I press on my forehead literally between my two eyebrows. 3) I press on my temples ( where my eyebrows end) 4)Using both of my hands, I use my thumbs to press on my flesh where the base of my neck meets my head. TIP: When you touch a "sore" spot, you found where you need to press. Hold pressure for a few seconds. Release. Repeat. 5) From # 4 I flip my wrists and turn my hands down. I squeeze the top of my shoulders and even the back or sides of my neck. Every migraine is different. Not all of those points will be sore to the touch. When you find a spot that's sore you've found a point that may resolve some if not all of your pain. Blessings

[@angiegeorge-boone3612]

Make sure you stay hydrated, have a cup of coffee and ibuprofen. And rest. I have had them since high school and I'm 52. I have to take prevention medicine or I would have them all the time. I still get 2 or 3 a month. Stress is a big trigger and crying makes them worse.

[@jsbrooks72]

When you park at the new place, don't leave the slides open if it's unattended due to invasion of mice. It happened to my 5th wheel. Nice rig though.

[@michaelmangieri8686]

I have chronic migraines which is 15 a month. My garden is my safe place. Take excedrin migraine stay in dark cool room and I drink coffee. Others say caffeine makes it worse but not for me most days. Now on supplements which help PS: Enjoy you videos.

[@augustagootee6254]

Love the name.toodles !!!!! Sonfunny my son calls the green house this lol. Now u can just call for it when u need it love it

[@ede-jomadden8182]

very nice camper! (clubhouse)! As far as migraines, I usually need to sleep to get rid of it, but I also have an Rx for Rizatriptan, 10 mg, that sometimes works. There are some foods that can aggravate, so take a look on line so you can avoid. Best wishes!

[@intentionallymade]

I would Get some Calm magnesium powder. I drink it at night because it helps with sleep, restless leg, headaches.... as soon as I feel any type of headache coming on my first go to is magnesium. Epsom salt is also good.

[@musicmysisterhates]

I've suffered from migraines for a long time and I have found a few things that help. I will take Excedrin because that works the best for me the caffeine definitely contributes to that. I will also take a cold shower I don't know what it is but that helps. I will also grab an ice pack and put it on my head while I try and sleep it off. Making sure that you are hydrated and that you eat regularly and sleep well we'll go a long way to preventing them. also any changes with your eyes can trigger them (like when you're due for new glasses)

[@lcostantino7931]

LOL. We almost never Vaca with 6 kids in family..... Did rent cabin ONCE. MY Mom said her Vaca was when kids went to camp,, lucky me... Could have stayed at camp ALLLLL summer... U just make n do Different type vacations.... Sweet.

[@PuddinStix]

Migraines! Avoid foods with excessive amounts of tyramine for a while (avocado, bananas, and fermented stuff.) Drink a lot of water and give yourself rest with low lighting. I get ocular migraines and sometimes pass out for a couple hours. But I normally feel so much better afterwards. The resting part is important!

[@loristricklin7627]

Migraines.......ouch!!!! I have had them for years 35+ years that I can best figure. For me, I used to use prescription Immetrex but I started noticing "rebound" effect meaning I was getting migraines more often. I now use an over the counter generic medication (combo of tylenol and caffeine). If I take something before it gets too bad, I can continue with my day. Normally, I have eye pain over one of my eyes, neck tension, sensitivities to light, smell and sound known as auras. Migraines can be triggered by foods, lack of sleep/stress, hormones, red wine. Sometimes, I will drink a pepsi and take my over the counter medication. I also use an icy hot roll on to my neck (the pepper mint smell is soothing). I stock alot of Gatorade in the pantry as well. Take care of yourself Jess!!!!

[@michelewhitt7545]

Love love the camper!!

[@terrywright1513]

Plenty of lakes back here in your east.

[@debbiebell4598]

I used to deal with migraines almost daily but then menopause came and they seemed to go away, for the most part. Now I get aura migraines, I see Auras but don't always have pain. Try to catch your migraine before they get really bad and I know you're mostly natural but the only thing that helped me was motrin & tylenol together (ER doctor advised this as I was in the ER getting shots almost daily, saved me from having to go to the ER). Other choices like topomax and the shots were out of the question for me. If you go tylenol motrin route try to be proactive and catch them before they got so bad that you get sick, once you get sick chances are the meds won't stay down. Other things that help are a really cold dark room and ice packs (some people say heat, but heat is what causes a lot of mine). They are horrible. I'm glad you're feeling better today and hope you don't get another one, stress can contribute to them as it throws out a hormone, for me it was hormones and I'm glad I know longer have those hormones so don't get them very often, thank the good lord! :) I'm excited to see your adventure and can not wait. Love your show.

[@lindseypope6235]

Hey Jess, I find that b6, b12 vitamins help as well as Magnesium supplements. Also just sleeping it off in a dark place also works

[@silvermoon3486]

Absolutely love ❤️ ur camper. Sooo nice 👍🏼. I wouldn’t mind having one ☝️ of those down the line. 😁

[@terrig5492]

Migraine sufferer here for years I have to take meds as I get 3-6 migraines a week... Medication eases the symptoms of mine but I've changed my diet , got my daiths (ear cartilage) pierced, added some natural remedies and see a neurologist. I use cold packs on the head , heat to the neck , fluids lots of electrolytes if I can I'm nauseous and vomit with mine therefore my meds are taken nasally during and meds daily before a migraine ... Lots of sleep , if you can , dark room and no noise . Migraines are so debilitating, you lose a lot of time and living with them . Mine have amped up recently due to a car accident and concussion but with assistance from my Dr and meds I had gotten mine down to 1-2 weekly which is awesome as I had suffered with the migraines sometimes for 2 days in row and after the migraine you have the migraine hangover 🤕... lots of lost time ... Good luck to anyone dealing with them I hope you can find some relief... Awesome video as always 🌻

[@sergecote4757]

Cold washcloth to the forehead and lots of sleep. Also for me, avoid all dairy and banana. I had meds because of the frequency, but guess what, they completely stopped with the very first signs of premenopausal. Linda

[@justgoodness333littlehomes5]

ADVIL MIGRAINE CAPSULES are the bomb.

[@SparkyGage]

MIGRAINES: did your diet change in the last 48hours? High Fructose Corn Syrup is my trigger. Started in college which was when coke and sprite switched over. Only figured out 20 years later when I had been on a diet for a month (and a month without migraines.) WATER and SLEEP are the only things that get me through them. Although the lavender oil and dark chocolate my wife and sister in law Rx is beneficial too ;) Arkansas is gonna miss y'all!

[@lynnpurfield9430]

Love it....I am your youtube British grandma and I say, be careful ya'll xxxx

[@thethess3054]

I found that no caffeine, dark quiet room and sleeping them off to help. Mine were so bad, I even puked with them. Had them since I was a kid until I figured out what was causing mine. My brother actually figured it out. He put a big pot of water on the stove and set it to boil. The steam put moisture back in the air and stopped my headaches. Very rarely get them now. If I start to feel a headache coming on I quickly take my Ibeprofen and get the water going before it gets going to hard and I can't stop it. Also make sure u eat and drink water. I can usually stop them and now very rarely get them. Rubbing a ice cube on that throbbing vein in my temple would help too. The tramadol the doctor gave me didn't really help me so I just threw them up anyway. Like I said for me it was a moisture thing that was triggering mine. Everyone is different and have different triggers. But heck give a whirl. Might help you. GL.

[@chachadodds5860]

You're right...us grannies and pappies, are lookin' out for you. So here goes.... In addition to plenty of water, and sleep in a very dark and quiet room, there are a few other things I keep in my migraine arsenal, after 58yrs of suffering with severe, debilitating migraines. 1. Ice packs!! I cant live without the reusable, fabric-covered, squishy blue gel ice packs from Walgreen's. (Often used for sports injuries.) The 4"x8" or 5x10" size, fits perfectly on the forehead or back of the neck, and their softness doesn't add an extra sharp irritation most migraineurs find intolerable. I keep a perpetual supply of three, in the freezer in individual ziploc bags. (If you don't bag them, they pick up odors from foods, which is also intolerable.) Also, keep them flat in the freezer; you'll thank me later. They don't take up a lot of space in the freezer, and they're ready to grab on the way to bedrest in a dark room. Having three at the ready, means they can be rotated in and out of the freezer during a migraine, without any lag time in between, or too much effort. They are squishy enough to lay on if desired, conform to body contours, and soft enough to even use as an eye mask to block light. Invaluable! 2. Frozen carbohydrates such as ice cream, sorbet, frozen fruit. Carbohydrates assist in boosting the speed and effectiveness of pain killers, (an old nursing trick) whether they be otc or Rx. Besides, if you're experiencing nausea as a co-symptom, small portions of something cold and soft, tastes really good. (Cold and mushy are a theme here...lol.) 3. Speaking of pain killers and boosting their effectiveness, caffeine, is a very old, but effective remedy, still found in many Rx meds, but easily added in other forms. 4. Soak in a hot tub of Epsom salts. Many migraineurs have a lack of Magnesium in their blood, and this is a quick way to get it into your body without having to ingest another pill. This also applies to menstrual cramps. 5. I pray you never experience another migraine, but if you find they become more frequent, taking the herb Feverfew (easily grown in your garden) daily, at 2week, on/off intervals, works as a preventive for some people. 6. When taking any kind of painkillers, try adding a motion/travel sickness medication, even if you're not experiencing nausea. It too, aides in reducing pain, and helps you sleep. I go to Walgreen's, and get their generic of Dramamine, called meclizine. It's labeled as Travel Sickness, but get the chewable...not the one you swallow...it's more effective for some reason. I'm sure that because you lead a healthy lifestyle, you try to stay away from medications, and I am the same in this regard, but there are times medical intervention is a Godsend. 7. Last, but best....keep some Frankincense essential oil, and Copaiba Oil on hand, even in your purse, and apply to pulse points, forehead & temples, and at the base of the skull. This has stopped many a migraine in its tracks, for me, and both essential oils are excellent pain modulators. I've even been known to put them under my tongue when desperate and suffering with severe pain. You can combine them in a rollerball bottle of this is something you find yourself turning to often. Lavender, is also soothing and relaxing, and can be added to that Epsom salt bath. I hope this helps. Migraines, true migraines, are a beast! I think a lot of people mistakenly believe they've got a migraine, when it's actually just a bad headache, often sinus related; which can be quite brutal, as well, but is a very different animal. I keep this migraine meme on my phone, that shows the difference between a common headache, and a migraine. It's a picture of a little Goldfish on the left, and a Great White Shark on the right. I continue to pray for you all, during this time of transition and uncertainty. God bless you abundantly.

[@lindaestell6613]

Yes, this "grandparent" was concerned.

[@cjpwrs6258]

Jess look up foods that can cause migraines. As progesterone drops in our bodies as we age we can become estrogen dominate. This can set the migraines off

[@bluestar7757]

Migraines are very painful and scary the eye auras are the worst quiet dark space and a cold washcloth on head definitely helps and drink plenty of water

[@susanbrennan6057]

The only things that helped my migraines were a strong cup of coffee and Excedrin as soon as the headache started

[@D.J.F753]

I unfortunately have tons of experiences with migraines (for more han 30 years), and last 7 or more I rarely need to use painkillers as i figured out how to stop them pretty good, but it changes. Say Niacin 1 g sometimes works wonders, and sometimes doesn't. 'Magnesium 800-1000mg sometimes does and sometimes doesn't. Wood betony tincture, usually mixed with scullcap, blue vervain, motherwort, feverfew, Jamaican dogwood -taken at half teaspoon every 15 minutes until pain stops. Nebulized magnesium plus B6 (injection would be better, but good luck finding doctor who will do it). Tricky part is to take these things before nausea becomes bad, then oral stuff might not digest and won't help anymore. There are many reasons for migraines. Unfortunately one of my reasons is eggs. I love good eggs, but if they give me migraines, I won't eat them. It also could be coQ10 and B2 deficiency, magnesium deficiency, low blood sugar, high insulin, hormonal disbalance such as high estrogen and low progesteron, food allergies. Stress makes any of these worse.

Migraine- dark room, icepacks, sleep....doctor. My husband gets at least 3 a month(which is an improvement from when he was not being treated) If you continue to have these headaches, please see a doctor. You shouldn't have to suffer needlessly.

I've had those migraine 😫 i think I was born with them 😅any who' I save my Electrolytes water specially for those migraines and also soak my feet in Epsom salt or cetic salt, dark rm, and face massages it all helps.

[@alexandracarter1408]

sometimes taking magnesium at the beginning can stop or minimize the worst of it. That, and water & rest. Hope it never happens to you again!

[@johnfourteensix4910]

My MIL has suffered with them for a long time. Best thing she has found so far is aspirin and a coke right when she feels it coming on; seems to stop it in it’s tracks for her.

[@kpirrone]

Migraines - what i do is take a drop of the doterra copiaba and put it on my thumb, press it to the roof of my mouth, same thing with frankincense. then if needed, a drop of peppermint on my wrist and lick it. its intense! and take a deep breath! if this is in the beginning of the migraine it take that badboy right away. Also, drink a large glass of water and spend about 15 minutes in a quiet dark room if it is lingering.

[@lesleyharris525]

Ouch migraines are no fun, wish I had a cure for you but they do make 2 drugs that can help, samatrapan and naramig but if you can just sleep in a dark room and drink plenty.💖

[@cherylcrockett6177]

Get your blood pressure checked. A significant change in your life (like an upcoming interstate move) might be driving your blood pressure upward. People who have migraines, and later develop high blood pressure, often see their migraines completely disappear after they start taking prescribed blood pressure medications. I recommend talking to your doctor. At the very least, she, or he, can rule out high blood pressure and discover the real problem.

[@emptynestgardens9057]

Honestly you did good to drink your fluids rest and eat well. However track them and if they become more regular see your doc for advice. Times of high stress sure can trigger them and girl you qualify in that department. I'm glad you took the weekend for self care. 💞

[@emilybh6255]

You may have been able to completely get rid of the headache by giving your sinuses a good Neti Pot cleaning with sea salt and water to empty out the inflamed mucus in your head. I have found it works even for really bad tooth pain. If the truth be told, inflammation and resulting pain is caused by acid wastes. Acids burn and burning hurts. To get rid of the pain long term we need to stop eating the acid producing foods ie dairy, eggs , animal products, starches, grains and legumes and a lot of cooked foods and replace those with water rich alkaline producing raw fruit and tender greens.

[@ormorphe]

I second a netipot. I use equal parts salt and baking soda. It’s kills germs and is very soothing

Yes, I could be your mother and yes, I was worried, too. Thank you for explanation! All of your "parents" feel better.

Massage therapist and migraine sufferer here. Heat to the neck and cool to the forehead helps stop the blood vessel spasm that is what causes the throbbing. Long term prevention- CranioSacral Therapy has been a life changer for me and my clients. Whatever remedies you have that lower inflammation can help during too.

[@chick-a-bee-farm]

I get them too and use to take amitriptyline when absolutely necessary. It works great, but it makes me sleep for hours and I have a medicine hangover when waking. As Julie-Anne says, inflammation is key. Once I changed my diet to eliminate sugars, grains, dairy, soy, ... I had a lot of inflammation... my migraines have been very rare, and I don’t have to rely on medication. LOVE your camper! Mine is definitely my happy place! 🥰 BTW. I have a outback kargoroo. The “garage” makes a great dog room for our Danes and for additional storage.

[@grammi-d]

Try magnesium for migraines. Helps sleep, too, so I take it in the evening.

[@seanaames6855]

Know that if you supplement with magnesium, your potassium and salt need to be adjusted. The Root Cause Protocol is intense but can help.

[@pumacatD]

Topical magnesium spray is most effective as the body can absorb magnesium much better through the skin!: ) It doesn’t seem to be a well known fact unfortunately!

[@mspat8195]

@@pumacatD, I use NOW magnesium spray, only other ingredient is water, works quickly, under $9, & the small bottle lasts a long time.

[@TMChelle]

Have you magnesium check low magnesium cause them and most doctors don’t tell you that.

[@jenedge5579]

Magnesium is best absorbed through skin. And guess what is one of the most effective ways to get that, Epsom salt baths. Oh no, you might have to relax and soak in a hot bath. 😊 You’ll find that you sleep really well after, too!

[@tootie2383]

Stress depletes magnesium. Mag deficiency is a huge link-find a good replacement!

[@melissasullivan1658]

Mag deficiency also looks like general anxiety disorder. It’s crazy how much we depend on mag, yet always eat calcium enriched foods...that naturally deplete our mag. Never ending American food system cycle.

[@rhiannonsauer8841]

Yes my neurologist actually prescribed magnesium for me.

[@gailpetchenik3048]

Oh Jess... I am 70 yr old & have dealt with migraines since I was in my 20’s. The best thing to do is to go in a dark quite room , lay down & put an ice pack on ur head/ face. I know u r a regular coffee drinker, but caffeine will help. I don’t drink coffee, but when I have a migraine, my body craves coffee. I think it is because it knows the caffeine will help. Migraines r usually caused by a dilation of the blood vessels in the brain & caffeine is a natural vessel constricter. So it makes sense. Excedrin migraine is about the best otc u can use. But if u start having more of them there r some new prescription drugs that really work great. Nurtec is the best one I have found so far. I use a monthly shot to control the migraines. But they also have a pill form that u can take. But hopefully u won’t have any more. Does anyone in ur family have migraines? Cause they r usually genetic. If not... u probably won’t b pledged by them chronically. I will pray for u child. I would hate for u to have to go through life with chronic migraines. 🙏🙏🙏🙏. Luv u🥰

[@PurePondering]

I posted about nurtec, then read your comment. I was doing the injections for a while and they helped. I could tell if I'd forgotten to do my monthly injection because I would start to have an optic migraine. But since I've had nurtec, I've no longer needed the monthly injection.

[@thesoapcrate596]

@@PurePondering Nurtec killed me with awful side affects and its not something that you take if you only get an occasional migraine. That is more for chronic ones.

[@yolandaanderson8556]

Yes I second everything you said Gail! Oh they hurt so badly. I went though premenopausal migraines. Never had them when I was younger.

[@binamom2797]

This is great advice for an OTC non-regualar migraine sufferer. I'm on disability due to mine, i always suggest if you start getting them on a more frequent basis go see a headache specialist (neurologist.). Excedrin migraine is good, aleve with benadryl...I'm sure you will get lots of advice. there are some oils you can use as well

[@PurePondering]

@@thesoapcrate596 chronic (almost daily) migraines are why I was doing the injections prior to the nurtec. I'm so sorry the nurtec had side effects for you. I've heard a couple others say they couldn't take it. One of them is now seeing a neurologist and (hopefully) soon to have help for hers.

I call that migraine hangover feeling "brain bruise", because it feels tender or sore.
