Say goodbye to migraines

I mentioned in my original post that I started running again in an attempt to do something about my frequent migraines. I was getting migraines more often than not and they often lasted for a week or two - sometimes even longer. I was desperate for help, but I'd never have thought of exercise as something that could help. After all, when I suffered from a migraine, light and movement made me nauseous and the pain unbearable. How could I possibly get relief from something that required a great deal of movement out in the sunshine?! But, like I said, I was desperate, so I tried it. A year later and I rarely get migraines. When I do, it's nearly always related to drastic changes in weather. The only other times I get a migraine are when I've been sidelined by flu or such and can't get out for a run. I'm sure there are other dietary changes I could make to further improve my migraine issues, but running alone has made a tremendous difference to my overall quality of life. I highly encourage anyone who suffers from migraines (and doesn't have some other health issues preventing them from doing so) to find a way to incorporate more exercise into their lives. I think you'll be glad you did.
