Migraineurs? Headache Sufferers?

[fleur-de-lisa]

11. Supplementing my diet with magnesium and feverfew changed my life!

Sorry for replying so late, but I just found this thread.

For almost 30 years I suffered with horrible migraines, sometimes daily. But I have almost eliminated all forms of headache.

I take 400 mg of magnesium citrate every morning and every night. Magnesium citrate, or any kind of magnesium ending in 'ate', is more readily absorbed by the body than other forms. I also take feverfew extract (90 mg) each morning and night. About a month after starting this regime, I noticed the migraines decreasing in severity and frequence. I do occasionally get a headache, but I can usually stop them in their tracks by taking another dose of feverfew. Be careful with the magnesium, though. If you start taking too much before your body adjusts to it, you can have bouts of diarrhea. Start with one capsule per day and gradually increase until your body can handle it.

I buy feverfew extract at Whole Foods, but you can also order it online from Nature's Way. I purchase magnesium citrate online from Pure Matters.

It's wonderful to have my life back and not have my schedule ruled by migraines!
