I’ve heard ENOUGH! What about you?
It seems like everyone out there is giving us different advice on how to treat migraines and how to prevent them, spreading MYTHS about what does and does not work.
Don’t fall for it!
Check out these 5 MYTHS and see if they sound familiar…
MYTH #1: Treat Migraines with Medications.
From ‘Take your medication as early as possible’ to ‘Try prescription triptan medications’ to Try ergot medications’ to ‘Get a prescription for aspirin and ibuprofen.’
There are lots of doctors, nurses and people out there suggesting different medications.
They might be a temporary solution but in the long run, are just a bandaid and don’t solve the root cause of the problem.
What’s more, they often come with lots of different and horrendous side effects that are sometimes worse than the migraines themselves.
MYTH #2: Avoid food triggers.
Whatever we eat may look and feel like it triggers migraines, but
In fact, food triggers are just symptoms like auras or migraine headaches.
Ok. This SOUNDS right because what we eat becomes part of us. But it’s not. Food is just food.
There are thousands of people who suffer migraines and are on a 1A diet, having cut out just about every food they liked to avoid migraines, but still suffer migraines regularly.
Restricting ourselves with our diets to avoid getting triggered makes us feel like living in prison. Painful!
MYTH #3: Migraines may be caused by some physical problem in the brain.
Because doctors don’t find anything wrong with the brain and come up with theories such as ‘Migraines may be caused by changes in the brainstem and its interactions with the trigeminal nerve, a major pain pathway.’
Since the pain is in the head where the brain sits, it’s assumed that there must be something physically wrong in the brain.
Doctors don’t understand what is really causing pain and migraines and the nature of dis-ease.
They have the pharmaceutical companies, who want to sell their drugs, supporting them.
I am not anti-medicinal drugs by the way.
Don’t get me wrong: I have never met a doctor who didn’t want to help people and were doing their job just to pass time.
They are the heroes in our lives, saving lives and wanting to cure people for real.
It’s just that the medical world hasn’t caught up with the newest science and haven’t made space for something new.
The education has to change altogether coming off the insane consumption of pharmaceutical drugs. What I am saying here is that the whole Health system will has to change to really cure people. Gradually.
MYTH #4: Migraines are genetic
It’s very easy to say that the reason why we experience migraines is that it’s in the family and that our children will most likely be prone to experience them too.
On the other hand, it’s, unfortunately, a very big excuse to just accept the ‘fate’ and NOT look for another solution to our migraine symptoms.
Maybe our body is trying to tell us something.
As challenging and problematic as migraines are, the incentive NOT to pass this on to our children and children’s children should be just as big as the pain and be the other side of the coin called opportunity.
Problem versus opportunity.
What if we could find out what the root cause is and what our body is trying to communicate and stop the genetic fate?
MYTH #5: Migraines are incurable
This is one of my favourites. I love busting this myth.
I love sharing that when we change our approach to pain and disease and re-educate ourselves we can solve the problem we experience with migraines almost overnight.
Just don’t let anyone tell you that it is. If anybody tells you that migraines can’t be cured, turn around and walk in the opposite direction.
So, that’s the top 5 Myths I hear over and over. Sound familiar? If so, let me share…
