Byproducts of Migraine – Part II
In my previous story, I explained how each migraine attack affects the muscles, especially in the neck, throat, and upper shoulder areas. The oxygen levels in these muscles seem to drop significantly, making you feel exhausted, and your heartbeat may still be higher than normal the day after the migraine attack. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realize that this is a true "production line of bad stuff," which produces negative effects each time a migraine attack occurs.
Now, let's get to other things. When the physical side of you is down the drain due to the described process, it tends to have a negative impact on your mood. I have seen numerous times at my clinic how seven- to eight-year-old girls can make their fathers fall silent. One of the latest memories of such an event has burned vividly into my memory. An elementary school-aged girl came to visit my clinic, and the migraine attack had kicked in during the morning hours. The girl's father tried to explain that he had tried to ease his daughter's bad mood by playing music in the car while driving to the clinic. The feedback was instant and strong. At the clinic, the unfortunate father was dialed down by his daughter, and he sat quietly in the lobby during the treatment.
I could also recount times when career women have sought my help due to their chronic migraines. Regardless of their age or status—whether C-level corporate executives, top government ministers, or members of the aristocracy—everyone has been cursing like a lumberjack or soldier in a combat zone. Why? Because they had been feeling terribly bad for a long, long time.
