When I have a headache I use a really cold wash cloth or an ice pack wrapped in a light towel. I put it on the side where the headache is.

I have also read a sachet with peppermint and lavender help soothe also. Chammomile tea helps relax. I know one in the store is called sleepy time.

I hate headaches. Have had a history of migraines. since the stroke I don't get them as often and usually not as severe.

My nightmare started with dizziness. so for a long time when I got dizzy and light headed ... I wondered is this another? Now almost 4 yrs out I am not so frightened by the dizziness and know it just happens sometimes.

Best wishes, Bonnie

I still think about having a stroke everytime I get out of the bath which is what I was doing when I stroked.

I stroked the first day of my period, so I'm very aware on that day every month. I also used to get migraines but touch wood, haven't had once since. I will probably freak if I did!!!
