Coping with Migraine: Claims of a "Cure"
I was recently presented with a dilemma here on Free my Brain. I want to encourage dialog and exchange of ideas, but I don't intend to provide an open marketplace for sale of migraine "cures." (Though I will gladly support and even promote helpful products and services.) Migraine is a complex, genetically based, neurological disease. The frequency and severity of migraines vary enormously from person to person; so do the number and complexity of triggers and other contributing factors. What we know now is that this is a neurological disorder, a differently ordered nervous system, if you will, which has existed throughout human history. Like many congenital conditions, there may have been a valid evolutionary reason for this mutation at one point. Maybe migraineurs were the human barometers, predicting disastrous weather changes for primitive societies. I had fun speculating on the evolutionary basis of migraine in the post Our Ancestress: A Fable.

I wish we could do a scientific study of people who want to be perfect and who put pressure on themselves. In the first place I bet you that's at least 75% of the population. And I bet you dollars to donuts that 12% of all the perfectionists would turn out to have Migraine disease. And I bet that 12% of all the non-perfectionists would have Migraine disease too. What's the incidence of Migraine disease in the general population? 12%! I think you get my point. There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Migraine Headaches projected in this article. We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you.
And so, if we work like crazy in therapy, meditate, recite mantras and do whatever highly subjective steps Hay seems to think will enable us to let go of the anger and pressure, if we do all that and we still have Migraines, then what? We failed? It's like telling someone the devil is causing their Migraines and they just have to really believe in God. "I do believe!" "If you really believed the devil would leave you and your Migraines would be gone!" "But I really do believe..." It's just a very sneaky way of blaming the victim! We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Migraine Myths. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Migraine Myths.
For me, the answer is clear. I am 49, a woman, 5'2?, a redhead, a migraineur. These are facts. I get choices about what I do with those facts. I am choosing to vigorously pursue better and better Migraine management. I am not wasting my mental or emotional energy on "cures." Or at least I won't, once I'm done with this rant! Using the intuition I had on Migraine Myths, I thought that writing this article would indeed be worth the trouble. Most of the relevant information on Migraine Myths has been included here.
There are two ways to look at "retraining." A nervous system which can be easily triggered into a Migraine attack can be viewed as an over-excitable or hyper-reactive nervous system. Regular practice of meditation and relaxation can help us reduce the excitability of our nervous systems. Note that this is not a "cure;" it is a supportive exercise or practice which can strengthen our system's ability to resist triggers. You could call this "retraining." Our objective of this article on Migraine was to arouse your interest in it. Bring back the acquired knowledge of Migraine, and compare it with what we have printed here.
Someone submitted a comment to one of my posts stating that Migraine isn't a disease; there is a cure for Migraine "within us;" he had over 20 years of migraines which are now gone; and you can "retrain" yourself so you have no more migraines; he then went on to promote his methods. I am genuinely happy for the commenter that his migraines are gone. I am certainly curious about his methods, and glad that he wants to help others. I don't mean to suggest he had any but the best motives. But I am wary of anyone's claim to have a cure. After some deliberation, I decided not to publish the comment and link. An idle brain, is a devil's workshop they say. Using this ideology in mind, we ventured to write on Cure Migraine, so that something productive would be achieved of our minds.

I have heard from many people who have done just one thing and their migraines have gone away. To them I can only say mazel tov! (Congratulations!) Here is a bouquet of flowers to celebrate! For some it is eliminating just one trigger. For others it is a particular nutritional supplement, a practice of meditation, regular exercise, a medication, a surgery, pregnancy, menopause, a life or lifestyle change. I don't know if there are statistics on how many migraineurs find relief from just one thing. I do know there are large numbers of us out here who need to find a combination of factors to manage and control our migraines. Here is a bouquet of flowers to console us! There is no "cure" for a genetically based neurological condition, any more than there is a "cure" for my red hair and green eyes. (Well, another 15 - 20 years may pretty well eliminate the red hair.)
I have been told that if I only distinguished the beliefs from my past that were making me have Migraines, they would disappear. I will admit I tried to do that. Like anyone else, I have a past and beliefs were formed in it! Some of those beliefs are limiting to me. In a life of nearly half a century, with plenty of self-help, support groups, personal development courses, and therapy, I think I've managed to identify most of those beliefs. So why am I not cured of Migraines? Is it my fault? Or, wait, could it be that I have a genetically based, incurable neurological condition? Hmmm... Which is the more logical conclusion? And which is more empowering?
But there is another view of retraining which comes from an idea that Migraine disease is psychologically generated. It is not. It is a real, physical condition. It is no more psychological than epilepsy or scoliosis. I view with rage books like Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life" which suggest that right thinking can solve all our medical problems. She suggests that "Migraine headaches are created by people who want to be perfect and who create a lot of pressure on themselves. A lot of suppressed anger is involved..." Writing something about Migraine Cures seemed to be something illogical in the beginning. However, with the progress of matter, it seemed logical. Matter just started pouring in, to give you this finished product.
Curing is good for meats, cheeses, wines, paints... Maybe our heads don't need it?

I get migraines. Bad ones. For years I've sought relief from the searing pain, missed time at work, the feelings of frustration for missed social events, and the helplessness. Doctors gave me strong medicine to relieve the pain after it started, but there weren't any cures for getting them in the first place, and I didn't like the idea of taking so many pills. I needed a better approach to...
