Re: Cannabis and Migraine [Re: shanker]

hi

as a sufferer of migraine headaches from very young age and all my adult life i have often wondered about possible treatments from my ailments, generally the treatment involves 3-6 paracetamol (if i cant get panadeine fort, usually takes 3) then in an attempt at sleep i look forward to vomiting as this helps by allowing me to pass out quicker. after the initial onset i am pretty out of it for about 2-3 days still with symptoms. i also have to watch what i eat as many food additives can cause migraines also.

now the interesting part - over the past 6- 8 months of ingesting cannabis in regular therapeutic doses i noticed to my surprise that i hadn't been getting migraines, id even placed them in the back of my mind for a while, i was able to work and live normally as the fear of getting them had slowly subsided.

until recently.....

over the last month i had decided to temporarily cease my cannabis use due to a general fear of criminal prosecution.

i noticed that within 2 weeks of non cannabis use my migraines had returned in full force, i have had 2 in the last month since whereas before i stopped there were none. in my opinion its to coincidental that my cannabis use was preventing my migraines.

this is from personal experience and i would gladly support trials for cannabis use as a migraine preventative.

i write this in a paracetamol induced state with numb face and hands as i experience my 3rd migraine in 6 weeks.

yours truly

yeh i agree that to much paracetamol and codeine isn't good for you but allot of the time its the only option.

i find the best thing is to avoid the triggers

allot of food additives contain these
eg. any nitrates, sulfites or products containing benzoic acids,
too much nicotine and caffeine i also have to watch as the toxicity of these substances is pretty crazy, even one alcoholic drink can trigger them it sux. another reason im pro cannabis

even filling up my car i have to be careful as allot of fuel is benzene based
petrochemicals do not agree with me
so i am pretty careful when it comes to pharmaceutical medications and prefer a more natural approach.
eg. essential oils lavender compress on neck and forehead.
