Headache and Migraine Group: Let’s connect

Posted by Lisa Lucier, Moderator @lisalucier, Feb 27, 2025

Welcome to the Headache & Migraine support group on Mayo Clinic Connect.

If you or someone you care about has headaches or migraines, this is a great place to talk with others with similar experiences. It’s a welcoming forum to learn from each other and share stories about challenges, coping strategies, setbacks and what helps.

Take these steps to participate in the group:

  • Follow the group.
  • Browse topics.
  • Use the group search to find answers to your questions.
  • Introduce yourself.

Pull up a chair and chat. Why not start by introducing yourself? What is your experience, or your loved one’s experience, living with headache or migraine (i.e., what type, how long since diagnosis, how it’s managed)? Have a question, tip or story to share?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Headache & Migraine Support Group.

@mojo244 I got an outdoor plunge from the pod company. I use ice packs to get it to the temp I want and sit in it for about 5 min. I like to light up my fire pit to warm up by after. I also have a large near infrared bulb that emits heat and will sit under that after to get the full therapeutic benefit. I do recommend doing it in the evening since it lowers your immune system. Also I don’t think I would try to go less than 65 degrees. Some people do 40 but that would be too much of a shock for me.

It’s awesome. I don’t know why drs don’t recommend it. I have a friend with the same health stuff I have and she gets the same benefit.

Hope this helps!

@duvaldena I’ve been in cold water while serving in the Marines but I was much younger then lol.
I can see the benefit of it for sure but a guy just needs to be prepared!
