My Migraine Remedy

Do you hate migraines?  Do you have trouble getting rid of them once they come?  Here’s my "shotgun" recipe to kill migraines:

- take two Excedrin Migraine pills

- drink one caffeinated beverage* (I use Diet Mountain Dew)

- do about 30 minutes of cardio where your heart rate is in the “green” zone (70-80% max heart rate), drinking lots of water.  Migraine will slowly go away the longer you exercise.

- go to bed early and get extra sleep

Sometimes not all of these steps are necessary, but doing all of them almost always works for me.

* - Caveat: I avoid caffeinated beverages almost always _except_ when I am applying this remedy.  If you drink caffeinated beverages regularly, your results may be different.
