Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Do you think you can send some sun to me, as being a LEO I nee the sun to keep me going, or else I shall start going into hibernation,like I usually need to do in the winter.I think I need to get outside a bit more because I am always feeling so tired..

Rosa.Perhaps you need to ask Wildflower if there is anything that can be recommended for Migraines.
I have heard that feverfew is supposed to be very good.I am not sure what other natural things you can take

Shiney, just feel really shattered they make me quite ill.
The rain should keep them busy for a while, i can hear them slurping away from here :D You must have a mac and wellies, talking about wellies, i bought a lovely pink pair for walking rosa and got a few comments from guys walking their dogs, this guy shouted over to me by i like your pink wellies very fetching :D what colour are your let me guess------- GREEN for the country

 

Will ask wildflower i will post something, pretty sure she had told me once before and i have forgot to write it down and cant remember where the discussion was. definately away to make a coffee be back soon

 

Coffee is really bad for migraine, Rosa. Cut down on the caffeine. Feverfew is what you need

 

Good morning Hornbeam.
But i love my coffee first thing when i get up, i will have to cut down as i must admit have been having rather a few cups of it in the course of the days.

 

Rosa.Just drink plenty of water.If you don't like the taste do what I do and get either a filter and keep the water in the fridge or buy the bottled stuff.
Too much caffeine like Hornbeam says is bad for you, so are too many fizzy drinks because of the sweetners put into them.
Perhaps you need to ask a computer expert on here about sitting staring at the screen for too long,that might be why you have Migraines

Kandyfloss, Have a water filter but must admit dont like the taste, I think it is definately the computer screen i need to get a proper screen filter that you can buy for the glare, wasnt too sure you could get them as i had one in the states.
Marley farley said you can get them will have a look in pc world.

 

Shiney you didnt put your ad in on the wanted list, SUGAR DADDY section :D :D

 

Rosa.What am I missing?Is there a sugar daddy going spare?

Morning, folks! Had a nice lie in today. Want to get off to the garden centre soon ... haven't bought any plants in a week! :eek:

 

Can't be helped Rosa - caffeine intake has to be lowered or not even feverfew will be able to help. When I was working in Mega-stress City, I drank coffee so much that I got the shakes as well as the migraines. Stopped coffee altogether and turned to tea (without sugar)which is good for blood pressure and the old ticker. Also cut down on cheese and chocolate.. Why do the tastiest things make us ill or fat or both?

 

Rosa,
I suffered terrible migraines from being little, did all the exclusion diets, so many different drugs my teeth rotted, brain scans everything. As a last resort and worth a try, my GP gave me acupuncture (don't think they're allowed to any more?). 6 weekly sessions of a tiny pin in between my big toe and the next and hey presto!-no more migraines and normal life. I was acomplete cynic when he suggested it and even laughed in his face, but it was THE best thing ever to happen to me.
I'd try the exclusion diet/homeopathic option first. I did caffeine, cheese, chocolate(this was at Easter and I was 6. Never forget it...)These are the only ones I can remember as I was only young.
My sympathies Rosa, it's a truly horrible thing to suffer from on a regular basis. Really makes me angry when people dismiss it as 'only a headache'.
