Do You Want to Get Migraine Relief in 4 Weeks?

Do you want to get migraine relief in 4 weeks?  I think that most of us if we suffer from migraines, want that relief. It is hard to live with and hard to deal with.

I started having migraines when I was 21 – right after I had my first child. I learned afterwards that it is quite common for hormonal changes to trigger migraines.

For many years, I had an average amount of migraines and they were quite tolerable as migraines go. That was not the case though when I moved to Florida and started working again.

I am again exploring how you can batch cook to eat healthy….and as an added bonus, lose weight! I believe it is crucial to not only living a healthy lifestyle, but also to help you lose weight – and keep it off! This has been consistently so in my life and I want you to see the results for yourself.

I know I have talked a lot about meal planning lately. In this blog we are going to talk about how you can eat clean and healthy by some simple meal planning. I am very passionate about this subject because for me, it has been a “live saver.” If I didn’t pre-plan and precook the majority of my meals on the weekend, I would be left after a busy day, looking for something to eat, and probably coming up with something quick and not so healthy!

How to End Migraines

How to End Migraines

Here are some interesting statistics that I have researched on migraines that could possibly us find out how to end migraines….

As you can image, the costs involved are enormous. Migraines add between $13 billion and $17 billion to our healthcare costs in the United States each year. These costs include medications, emergency room visits, hospitalization, physician services, labs and diagnostics, and managing the side effects of treatment. In addition to this, migraines have indirect costs as well. A headache/migraine is the most frequent pain-related complaint among workers. According to one study that was conducted that specifically focused on migraines, they found that the annual cost to employers exceeded $14.5 billion, of which $7.9 billion was due to absenteeism and $5.4 billion was due to diminished productivity.

How Can I Get Rid of Migraine Pain Naturally?

As you also know, I have become an avid believer in natural remedies. They have worked well for me. Still, I have to admit that there are times when I still have to take a sumatriptan on a “bad migraine day,” but considering I had migraines almost daily and heavily relied upon pain meds, I can definitely live with where I am at and be happy about it! Whereas before I would be counting the days until I could next get a refill of either my Imitrex of Vicodin, I now have a large supply of Imitrex in reserve as I so rarely use it – and of course, no Vicodin as part of my medication relief!
