This is off the current topic completely but I read through your previous posts just now and I ran across one from 8/28 in which you say:
"My husband has terrible migraines caused by weather, usually thunderstorms and other than strong narcotic medicines there no treatment has been offered"
My wife has been getting these terrible headaches which she believes are caused by changes in barometric pressure, like when, for example, a storm front comes in. But often even more subtle BP changes. I felt compelled to tell you about something that has helped her quite a bit. I found something called Shifa tea out of New York City that has helped her a lot. Here is the Amazon link:

She only puts a couple ounces of the brew into a cup of hot water or else it's too strong. I don't know if this will help your husband, but who knows? Best to you! Hank

@jesfactsmon, Hank I appreciate this information, too. I get barometric pressure headaches, but thankfully not migraines. We had a huge temp change and barometer shift last night and so woke up with one. A close friend suffers migraines and I called today and sure enough she is having a miserable day. I'll be ordering some of the Shifa tea. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Hank, I learned something new today! I get headaches because of my healing brain. Thankfully, the occurrence has decreased through the years. The headaches started at twice per week and now I am down to monthly. A bag of ice was my only known remedy after many different attempts. Thank you to you and Linda for the tea link. I will give it a shot. Does she drink it daily or only when she suffers a headache? I am glad you are an advocate for yourself and Linda to do all the research in finding answers. I will ask you for any advice through your experiences. I feel I have many friends through Connect and am fortunate to have met everyone. I will continue to offer any helpful advice through our wonderful avenue of technology. Wish you both well! Toni
