Following Doctors' Orders - Time to Clear Out Tea Cupboard!

I know all about herbal teas and rooibos! Red rooibos actually gives me migraines, but I am in love with the green variety. Several herbal teas, however, conflict with the myriad of medications I have to take to prevent migraines. It’s so hard to keep track! But thanks for the input on the caffeine content decrease… I’ll have to look into that! :)

If you get that Marshmallow Treat I totalllllyyyyy want to nab some! :P

Noted :)

Thanks for your interest and yes, I’ll post the size of the bag and how much is left. I have other teas to post as well. If there are any that you definitely want, please let me know and I’ll set them aside for you – plus remove them from the list. :)

I share those triggers as well as anger tends to bite me pretty hard with a migraine.

Ditto on the lack of sleep for me. Wished I could have used the sports excuse to get out of gym class growing up! ;) I’m learning my triggers, but my migraines started out hereditary. Both my mom and my grandma (mom’s mom) get them, and have since they were about my age. Some days we actually get them on the same side, same day, for the same length of time. It’s crazy!

Weather is a big trigger for me – increased humidity and rapid changes. I live in Maryland, home of the ever-changing its mind weather pattern, so that’s another potential problem for me. I did ask my doc if he could write me a prescription to move back home to San Diego! :) No luck yet… ;)

But for both of you – thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m working on a story about my migraine adventures for my blog – maybe I could talk to you both about your experiences as well. I’m glad we can share in our misery – if we have to be miserable, that it. In a perfect world, no migraines would exist!

@Missy- Yeah, anger is a trigger for me too… It is sorta like being the hulk in a terrible way… Except that instead of getting super strong I get green with pain, weak, and miserable…

@KeenTeaThyme – Mine are also hereditary. My Grandma, Dad, Aunt, aunt almost all of my cousins get them. Strangely though, we don’t all seem to share triggers.

Weather as a trigger sounds a bit scary… Other than moving, I don’t see how you can control it. what has the doctor suggested? Too bad he didn’t give in to giving the prescription to move back home! ; )

I wish we could live in a perfect world… I would be great! Also, I would be glad to help out with your story! Just let me know! : )

The weather some times gets me too. I will be happy to share my experiences with you. :D

Some folks – like me – have to be very careful about using acupuncture and herbal medicines, as the mix of my preventive and treatment medications can be affected by herbal remedies. I am trying to add more Feverfew and other vitamins to my diet. I’m actually working on a story for my blog about my migraine adventures. Thanks for the tips!
