Happy Independence Day holiday to all my gentle readers!
Here's some MIGRAINE SAFETY RULES that should prevent the celebration turning into a Migraine nightmare:
- Do stay away from the sun - heatstroke and dehydration are among primary causes for migraine.
- Drink plenty of water if you are outside, for the reasons mentioned above.
- Don't forget your sunglasses - shades should limit flare and harsh light and keep your eyes from getting tired too fast.
- Try not to inhale too much smoke from the fireworks - not only it's toxic, the smell is so strong it will trigger a migraine no time flat in those of us who are smell-sensitive.
- If your party is planning fireworks, take some earplugs along. Unlike the normals, you'll hear the BOOM even with ears stuffed.
- If you drink alcohol, pace yourself. Better eat something before you drink and get plenty of water in between your beers.
- If there's a cookout, eat more meat (or veggies, if you are a vegetarian) and less of those tasty bans. This cheap variety of bread will jump your blood sugar sky-high and then flour it in fifteen minutes flat. That's a more guaranteed way to get a migraine that polishing a six-pack.

Hi Lauren,
I tried, actually. Went to a chiropractor for almost 2 years. Didn't do much. Doesn't mean won't work for others but the migraine is a neurological illness; can't expect it to be fixed by chiropractic care.
