Harsh Reality

Thought this picture said a thousand words: This post is completely devoted to migraines and this new natural remedy I found for the nausea because it’s my new favorite item! Reed’s Rx Natural Ginger Nausea Relief. I love it. Recently, I have been getting migraines about everything other week and that is a lot of pain and a lot of nausea.

I am going to try to be as descriptive as possible because I want just even one person to understand the horrible feelings of a migraine and the nausea that comes with it! It seems the majority of people I talk to have never experienced a migraine and probably think I am exaggerating but everyone that gets them understands that they really are just plain awful. I Googled “migraines” and searched for images and thought it was funny that all the images came up with people rubbing their temples. It is totally something that I do every time I get a migraine so I thought it was random that so many other people do too. Anyway – so hopefully my description of a migraine is universal as well so everyone can know what it’s like.
If you have never had a migraine you may not know that they throw your whole body out of whack. Your eyes throb like a million little kids are tap dancing on the surface; light, no matter how bright, is blinding and sends spasms of pain through every nerve connecting the eye to the brain; the brain, typically one side (for me it’s the left), feels like a thousand different firecrackers were shoved into the crevices and they keep exploding causing throbs of pain.

If that isn’t enough, it makes you nauseas. Nauseas as in, the other day I woke up with a migraine, walked up one flight of stairs and vomited. Making it up one flight of stairs was good; typically I am so dizzy I don’t even want to think about sitting up. The nausea is always there, like weighted foam that expands from the pit of your stomach to the top of your throat. When I get migraines I can’t sleep because of the pain but I don’t want to be awake because of the pain. All I do is lie in bed and try to think of ways to describe the horrible pain I am feeling and try to remember what it is like to not be in pain. I can’t ever remember what that is like.

I hated taking medication when I was younger and always just lied in bed, in pain, waiting for it to go away. I have since learned that whether I like it or not, I need the medication! I have three different migraine medications (prescriptions) plus a nausea prescription. Two of the migraine medications have failed to work each time I attempted using them and the nausea medication has never succeeded in settling my insides.

So… in lieu of a recent discovery (and all of the sporadic migraines) I am writing this post hopefully to help someone else who gets migraines. I was Google’ing (?) natural migraine and nausea remedies. I have yet to find a migraine remedy but I have found my natural nausea remedy! I found a $1 off coupon for Reed’s Rx Nausea Relief and decided that I wanted to give it a try. I am a fan of natural remedies and I was to the point that I would try anything.After the excitement of getting it I was hesitant to try it because I wasn’t sure how the ginger would taste, especially already being sick I didn’t want the Ginger to make it worse; however, it actually tastes good, and best of all it worked! I have had three migraines since I got my first 4-pack. Each time I drink one can of the natural ginger nausea relief and within what feels like no time at all, the nausea is gone. I wish it was a natural migraine relief as well because after the nausea is gone I still have the migraine but it is so wonderful to have one less thing to worry about.

Anyways, if anyone knows of a good migraine remedy – let me know. In the meantime, if you get nauseas – try Reeds Rx Natural Ginger Nausea Relief. It says it works for as a nausea rememdy for basically any type - travel sickness... morning sickeness... As I said before, I totally love it and you really won’t regret it!

Anyway.. those are my thoughts for today :)
