Migraine in children
Migraine often starts in childhood. Childhood periodic syndromes including cyclical vomiting and abdominal migraine are thought by many to be a precursor of migraine in later life.Is migraine hereditary?
Many people with migraine assume that because their family suffers from migraine, they will inevitably have to live with it too. It looks as though they may be correct in thinking that it can be inherited. I have found that 'reactionary conditions' such as asthma, psoriasis, allergies, and irritable bowel syndrome, and migraine, do tend to run in families. I put it down to the way people are made. If you are constructed in a certain way, your stress will channel itself along a certain route, just like the other members of your family. The Migraine Resolution Programme works even for familial migraine, because it re-educates your system NOT to react in that way.Menstrual Migraine
Many women suffer migraine at just that 'time of the month'. On the menopause, most of these women find their migraine is abating, but some unfortunate women find this is the time when migraine first begins. The Migraine Resolution Programme works equally well for women who have menstruation, or the menopause, as their trigger.Chocolate, red wine, & cheese
I expect most of you who have had migraine for a while will be very familiar with triggers. Here is a list, with the top three in the title of this section.- Tiredness
- Hormones
- Stress or even relaxation after periods of stress. Stress can include bright lights, loud noise, long distance travel and extremes of weather, or even a change in air pressure. Flying can be a problem for these people.
- Anxiety or depression
- Trauma to the head or neck
- Alcohol
- Citrus fruits
- Missed meals
- Sleep deprivation or excessive sleep
- Oral contraceptives
- Exams
- Blood Pressure medication - vasodilators may precipitate or exacerbate the condition.
- Bereavement. Shock. Trauma. Worry. Cold. Heat. Pollen - and many, many more.
Avoidance -
Works for a while, until the migraine finds new triggers!That is why it sometimes migraine is referred to as “The demon”.
Many people do not know what begins their migraine.
Luckily, the Migraine Resolution Programme works equally well, whatever the trigger.
