[QUOTE="Star*, post: 551138, member: 4964"] tm. you need to find out (for certain) that shes actually suffering FROM migraines first off - and that means ruling out everything else ----- See I had BAD allergies all my life - but after pricktesting - I was positive to 360 out of 400 - (very rare) and so I started taking shots. Took them for over 10 years. NOW the stuff that used to bother me and nearly kill me is kind of like "meah - not really" and I can get by with an OTC allergy pill. Some pollens and ragweed and other things - like smells and toothpaste and weird stuff - will still give me problems. Remember Crest toothpaste? Back in the day if I used it, I'd get lumps on my feet - anaphylaxis - to TOOTHPASTE - I'm telling ya I should have been shipped to AZ and lived in a bubble. DRYER less humid climates help.
