Hi:
Keeping the house old-fashioned "white-glove clean," helps for everyone with migraines however, there are so many parameters involved in this issue.
The barometric pressure changes still plague me with a migraine.
Age is a factor as, allergy reactions are usually worse as we age.
I use frozen gel-packs sometimes during a migraine however, most of the time I have to use a strong prescription drug to quell the pain.
Regular massage or perhaps seeing a chiropractor of your choice might help.
This topic has been racked over the "headache coals" for years on the forum. I just got over 8 days/nights in a row with a migraine which is not called a headache anymore in the professional sense.
The scene is debilitating and usually reduces a person to no light, vomiting and completely disabling a person until it passes.
Yes, a proper diet, exercise, (if and when you really are able) healthy lifestyle of good mental health are important as the mind is strong if you treat it well. You will find you can govern your own destiny and overcome some of the AN obstacles using common sense, reading about our problems from an extremely well-respected source along with suggestions of longtime patients.
I'm a very private person however I admit that talking with people you feel you may trust helps as well.
Even join support-groups if you feel you're in the right group and if it's an appropriate place for you.
I'm still impressed that when I went over seas for a very long duration, I had no migraines on any long distance voyages.
As mystified as I am how I got the AN tumor in the first place is as foreign to figure out the reason as is, migraines.
True, it's better to live as healthy as possible and not have to mask most of our problems with prescription drugs.
The AN tumor is an invisible (for some of us) dilemma which is a strange way to life.
