The holiday season can be a fun
time, unless you have a migraine. Nothing can spoil a good time quicker then
the feeling of a headache coming on. Our only business is to keep you from
having migraines and so we are passing along a few tips that can help you avoid
headaches during this season.
1.
Sleep. Maintain your regular sleep schedule. Late night holiday parties
may be fun, but there could be a price to pay if you don't get enough sleep.
Also keep in mind that if you regularly get headaches around 4 AM, we can help
solve this problem.
2.
Eat. Watch what you eat. Holiday party foods often contain
ingredients that trigger headaches. If your first bite of that savory
food tastes too good to be true, stop eating because it most likely contains
MSG or other artificial ingredients the can cause you a migraine. Don't let
anyone force you to "just try it" because they made it - it is your
head that will hurt not theirs.
3.
Drink. Avoid red wine and drink alcoholic beverages in moderation.
Don't fool yourself into thinking you can get away with something
during the holidays - migraines don't take holidays.
4.
Smell. Odors abound during this season. Watch out for those perfume
counters that may give you a headache. In uncharted territory, have your fellow
shopper sniff them out before you end up cutting the shopping spree short with
a migraine. If you are sitting near someone who has too much perfume for
you to handle, move to avoid a headache.
5.
Medication. If you take a medication for your headaches, make sure you
have sufficient amounts before you travel. You do not want to find yourself
without your medications during the holidays.
6.
Stress. Holiday stress can give anyone a headache, but yours can be a
painful migraine. If stress is a migraine trigger, give yourself permission to
take a break. Shopping and even too much "family togetherness" can be
stressful, so take a break, rest for awhile and have quiet time for just you.
7.
Enjoy. It sounds as if you have to spend all your time watching out for
the threats for migraines - not true - if you are on Tuliv Migraine
