Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.2278 Headaches - Chris PausI've also suffered from headaches all my life. A doctor friend of mine gave me the best remedy.. and I've tried all the prescription stuff... Take 2 aspirin and 2 tylenol togehter at the first twinge of a headache. ALSO.... please everyone with headaches, check your bloodpressure! I found out a year ago I had high BP. once I got started on BP meds, my headaches went away! chris --- Karen Sullivan <greymare56@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I hate to get too off topic here, but I guess the headache things does affect endurance riding (anyone been on a horse miles from nowhere and had a severe migraine come on them?) Some of you can emphasize with this. I just participaed in a migriane study at Kaiser and found out that a lot of what folks believe is a really bad sinus headache or combo sinus/migraine is what they call a "migraine equivalent" or mini migraine. I get both, those and the huge, whalloping migraines that knock me out. The study found something interesting.....many migraine suffers lack enough magnesium in their diets. The Dr. said starting to increast Mg in the diet (and Mg combined with calcium is the best)...up to 750 mg. a day will often prevent migraines...and no side effects except for increased loose bowels at first. I have been on increased Mg since last fall and the "migraine equivalents" have almost gone away. Check with your Dr. on this or do google migraine search...the Mg. supplmentation should come up...

I often get them after a change in routine and lack of sleep...just having too much fun :-) (I've taken to calling them "ride hangovers" since they often happen while I'm driving home from a ride). The only thing that seems to work is a bizarre combination of Tylenol, Sudafed, aspirin and Dr. Pepper. Hot packs placed over my sinus area helps, and if I'm not near a micro-wave, I put two of those handwarmer packets (called Grabber Mycoal) in a sock and wrap it around my head (though not when I'm driving!).
