Migraines and Me I was eleven when I got my first migraine. This is my story about migraines and me. Would you like the good news first or the bad news?

Luckily I’m always carrying naproxen with me, so I immediately took one tablet which made sure the migraine wasn’t a bad one (a delay in taking painkillers has a major effect).

I will keep you updated if I try the oils! Okay on to the good news... I had two migraines in one day but that was it! The last time I had a migraine, I had one almost every day for three weeks! I felt like I was under house arrest but this time I felt free. The following day I felt slightly anxious that I would get another migraine but I didn’t. This is such good news. It’s been two weeks now and I’m still migraine free! Let’s see if I can make it until the end of the year migraine free!
