She also mentioned that sometimes, GPs are reluctant to prescribe these to migraine sufferers who get auras, as there&#39;s a risk of stroke.

Here&#39;s my experiences with it:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;When I first got hold of my tub of VCO, I enthusiastically tucked in and took 1tbsp straight away - what a big mistake that was! I felt lousy, had a banging headache which painkillers wouldn&#39;t touch, my joints ached, awful brain fog and I felt as though I was coming down with flu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The next day, I decided to take a bit less, and so went for 1tsp, however, even this was too much for me by this point, so I had to cut back even further.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The following day, I reduced my total daily amount down to one eighth of a teaspoon (and I even split that in two and had half in the morning and half in the evening). This did seem to help, although I still had a bit of brain fog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;(I&#39;ve even heard that it&#39;s a good &lt;a href=&quot;http://5c96dk3qgndo5o0dq-ordlbz2e.hop.clickbank.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Candida remedy!)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I gradually increased the amount by one sixteenth of a teaspoon per day (I know it sounds ridiculous, but I had to take it slow, as I couldn&#39;t bear the headaches otherwise).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I am now on a total of ½ a tablespoon per day (divided up into 4 separate doses) and seem to be doing quite well on that now. I will continue to increase the amount, until I am up to 3½ tbsp per day (hopefully).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Also, I have found a couple of products which help to reduce the die-off effect, these are Molybdenum drops and Pantethine Capsules. They seem to make a big difference and really help to reduce the brain fog &amp;amp; other symptoms so that I can get on with my life. Google it for yourself for more info.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The benefits I have noticed so far since taking the VCO internally are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;1. I feel generally calmer and happier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2. I feel like I&#39;m smiling more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;3. I have less anxiety.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;4. I have lost weight - yay!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;5. I have lost my sugar cravings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;6. I don&#39;t feel the need to keep snacking all the time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;7. I don&#39;t get as lightheaded when I get out of bed/stand up/get out of the bath.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;8. My heartbeat has stopped racing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m sure there are many more that I haven&#39;t thought of, I&#39;ll update if I think of any more. I&#39;m hoping that it will help with my PMS symptoms and menstrual migraine&amp;nbsp;this month too. I will post again to update with regards to that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I have also been using it externally with excellent results:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;1. On my scalp (which has been itching for the last 15 years!) it helps enormously.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2. Inside my ears (they&#39;ve been itching for about a year or so) it makes a huge difference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;3. All over my body after showering, but before towelling dry (I picked this tip up from the forum on the above website) it makes my skin feel great. I also seem to feel &#39;cleaner&#39; in between my showers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;4. As my facial moisturiser in the morning and before bed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;5. My husband has been using it to prevent shaving rash and it has made a big difference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;6. My husband also has large patches of very dry skin on his back, I&#39;ve been massaging it in every day, and it&#39;s really helping with that too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;So, I have to say that I am very impressed with this amazing oil so far, now that I have got through the initial die-off period. It was well worth it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Any questions/comments, please message me ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;(There&#39;s LOTS of info online regarding the health benefits of VCO, to read if you&#39;re interested!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Lou :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ece1a5tfjocmexe5vpk8l52u7d.hop.clickbank.net/&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot;&gt;9 Reasons to use Coconut Oil Daily&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;(To view my full blog click &lt;a href=&quot;http://lousmenstrualmigraine.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lousmenstrualmigraine.blogspot.com/feeds/8137922517180565870/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lousmenstrualmigraine.blogspot.com/2010/03/amazing-coconut-oil.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5362093468206321736/posts/default/8137922517180565870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5362093468206321736/posts/default/8137922517180565870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lousmenstrualmigraine.blogspot.com/2010/03/amazing-coconut-oil.html' title='The amazing Coconut Oil!'/><author><name>Lou</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15832411746555227468</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wY8C91K5_W8/SmWEpyUsR_I/AAAAAAAAACA/JlQth-I5MpY/S220/Lou.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362093468206321736.post-2857470088948685104</id><published>2010-02-23T17:45:00.006+00:00</published><updated>2015-07-21T00:31:45.102+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Pure EPA - will this help the menstrual migraines?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Hi readers,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Apologies once again for not posting sooner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I believe the problems I had were side effects from the Maca that I was taking.

I had a couple of headaches, but at no point did they turn into migraines. I got through the whole experience without needing to take a Sumatriptan tablet (yay!).

I haven&#39;t had a migraine since. Also, I have recently had what I think was swine flu (normally when I get colds/flu, I also get a migraine) but I was surprisingly migraine-free for the whole time that I was ill.

Google it for yourself and see what I&#39;m talking about!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;So, for this month, this is my regime:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;Celery Juice&lt;/span&gt; in the mornings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;Magnesuim Supplements&lt;/span&gt; 3 times per day on an empty stomach&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;Pantothenic Acid Supplements&lt;/span&gt; (vitamin B5) once per day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;Maca Supplements&lt;/span&gt; (haven&#39;t decided what dose to start on yet, if any of you have tried it, please let me know what dosage worked well for you!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;The &lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;&#39;Water Cure&#39;&lt;/span&gt; all day every day. I drink a pint of water straight after my celery juice, and make sure I have at least 4 pints of water per day, along with a dash of real sea salt (I&#39;m using Maldon).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Also, if you&#39;re interested in following the progress of this blog, there is a link on the right of the page, which will send you an update whenever I update this blog.
