I didn't go to work today. Migraine is the worst nightmare I can ever have lah. Migraine can make you wanna vomit loh. Terrible sickness!!! Well... I was having very bad migraine last night till I seen a doctor this afternoon and took my medicine. Well.... And now Im perfectly fine!! 

Woah!! I just finished reading up on migraine at wikipedia. About migraine, you will be very surprise by a lot of things. Very interesting....... Well. I've been observing some things about my own migraine for quite some time. I found that Im sensitive to certain lights and sounds. And what I found out about some typical migraine problem is..... It can last from 4 to 72 hours; symptoms include nausea, vomiting, photophobia (increased sensitivity to bright light), and hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to noise) etc... Yes. I can't stand camera flash lights and spot lights. For sound, I cant stand screaming, shouting with out of the blue kinda anger or with lots of emotions, burping sound, eating with loud munches etc. And guess what I found about Hyperacusis (also spelled hyperacousis) is a health condition characterized by an over-sensitivity to certain frequency ranges of sound (a collapsed tolerance to normal environmental sound). A person with severe hyperacusis has difficulty tolerating everyday sounds, some of which may seem unpleasantly loud to that person but not to others. The most common sound to appear unpleasant in hyperacusis is people eating or clicking their fingers. YES!! EATING AND BURPING ARE THE MOST ANNOYING THING FOR MY EARS!! Just please give me a break. I just feel very frustrated when I hear it and I hope that the person will be fine cos that person will geeeet it from me!! And if Im very nice that day, I would tell the person nicely. Ahhhh...

And the funny thing that I just found out is that I think I may be suffering from gluten-sensitivity. Gluten is actually come from wheat, rice, bread kinda of stuffs. And seven out of nine of the patients that went on a gluten-free diet stopped having headaches completely. A gluten-free diet improved blood-flow to the brain and either eliminated migraine frequency, duration and intensity. The simple task of starting a diet journal to help modify the intake of trigger foods like hot dogs, chocolate, cheese and ice cream could help alleviate symptoms. Please lah, just let me be 神仙 now!! Then it will solve all my problem.

Of cos the weather is play a big part too- Temperature mixed with humidity. High humidity plus high or  low temperature was the biggest cause. Pharmological treatment are considered effective if they reduce the frequency or severity of migraine attacks by 50%. Aiyo. Tsk tsk. Poor me. 

Some treatments

Behaviour treatment

In many cases where a migraine follows a particular cycle, attempting to interrupt the cycle may prolong the symptoms. Letting a headache "run its course" by not using painkillers can sometimes decrease the length of an episode. This is especially true of cases where vomiting is common, as often the headache will subside immediately after vomiting. Curbing the pain may delay vomiting, and prolong the headache. 

Alternatives treatment

Frequent migraines can leave the sufferer with a stiff neck (I always have that problem) which can cause stress headaches that can then exacerbate the migraines. Claims have been made that Myofascial Release can relieve this tension and in doing so reduce or eliminate the stress headache element. Some migraine sufferers find relief through acupuncture, which is usually used to help prevent headaches from developing. Sometimes acupuncture is used to relieve the pain of an active migraine headache. In one controlled trial of acupuncture with a sham control in migraine, the acupuncture was not more effective than the sham acupuncture but was more effective than delayed acupuncture. Incense and scents are shown to help. The smell and incense of peppermint and lavender have been proven to help with migraines and headaches more so than most other scents. However, some scents can be a trigger factor. Ehhh. To me is more of a trigger factor.
