This Is A Common Neurological Disease
Brenda Van Niekerk
This is a common neurological disease which unfortunately many people suffer from. It is a very severe headache and as I stated it usually only attacks one side at a time. This is good fortune with the bad fortune. Otherwise the pain could become totally unbearable.
The fact that it does not necessarily always attack the same side of the head is also a mystery. These attacks can last from a few hours to a couple of days depending on the verity of the attack.
The use of drugs is not always recommended unless the pain becomes unbearable. If it is possible it will be far better to control what is causing the migraine and in this way minimise the amount of attacks you have. By taking a shower or bath and bathing your head can bring many people relief. Resting in a dark room where everything is quiet is also very advantageous. Although caffeine is said to be a culprit for causing migraine a cup of coffee right at the beginning stages of the headache could help ward it off.
There are sufferers who find smelling certain substances to be beneficial when they feel the onslaught of an attack. One such substance is lavender. You might want to speak to someone with the knowledge of plants at a health shop who could advise you which plants have a potent smell that could possibly give you relief when you feel the symptoms of the headache coming on. Some sufferers find relief from smelling incense while others find that it aggravates the headache. This will probably not cure the headache but could bring relief in the beginning stages.
Unfortunately there is not enough knowledge and awareness of this disease among the general public. Many people still think that migraine is just another headache and will think that those who suffer from it are over reacting or putting on about the severity of the pain.
Tension headaches are very common among adults. This is normally due to the daily stresses that we have to deal with in modern living. This normally feels like there is a band applying pressure to the head. These headaches could last a few minutes or longer depending on how long the stress prevails. Usually the pain can be alleviated by relaxing with your eyes closed for a while and thinking of something other than what caused the stress. By doing some activity like sport or gardening the tension will subside and the pain will be gone. These headaches can more or less be controlled by the sufferer. There are headaches that are caused by a lack of sleep or over indulgence in alcohol.
Some sufferers are left feeling weak and listless for days after an attack. There could be a lack of concentration and a stiff neck. If the symptoms are only visual and there are no other symptoms such as a headache consult an ophthalmologist in case the cause is an eye disease and not migraine. You could then get this condition treated.
