"How to stop a Migraine Headache with Ice Shock Treatment"
I got married when I was seventeen to a young man that was an abuser, I came from a family of love, peace and contentment. He loved to drink his alcohol and raise holy hell with me. The negative overtones, I couldn't get use to because it caused me to be tensed and upset most of the time. I wasn't use to living my life in a defensive mode all the time. All of these negative connotations caused me to start having severe headaches, which I learned later was migraine headaches.
All I know is my head never hurt me so bad, I had to go the doctor to get shots for the pain. I'm sure some of you can relate to the kind of pain, I'm talking about. I don't remember where I got the information about the ice therapy, but I started using this information to stop my head from pounding. I remembered the information about shock treatment with ice to help stop headache pain. I figured I didn't have a lot to lose by trying it, and it work the very first time I tried it.The instructions was to get some ice in a ice pack or a wet face towel and wrap it up. Make a ice compress out of it and put it on each side of your temple, for five minutes each. Then do the same treatment at the nape of the the neck on each side for five minutes each.
This should be done while reclining or lying down in a comfortable position. While your doing your ice compresses try to talk your self in into a calming down state, lose your worries and your cares. Do this little exercise for 30 minutes, saying a prayer, deep breathing and meditating at the time. Think about your headache pain is leaving and how good it feels not to be hurting. This little Ice shock treatment worked for me 90 % of the time, but you should n't let the pain get out of hand before you start trying to control it. I remember once having a migraine headache so bad, that it hurt to sit up and even worse to lie down; I was a miserable person.
No one should never let the pain get so bad that you can't stop it, so if you feel a big one coming on, get your ice compress and get in a comfortable position and start you shock treatment with your ice and see if you can stop your pain before it get uncontrollable.
