Migraines and insomnia

[weakprik]

I suffer from bad migraines and headaches, MJ usually helps but its a fine line, If i smoke too much ie every day then I seem to get more headaches, I smoke mainly hydro and mainly to help with my headaches,

Also if I try to sleep with out having a smoke first then I can get to sleep and I wake alot, Im not a heavy smoker only 1 or 2 at night only, never during the day.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

yeh it sounz like you have neck and or back problems..I would go to a physio if I was you or a accupuncturist or a chiropracter at last resort to have your neck looked at........

First step is to go see a Doctor. Rule out any acute medical conditions that may be causing it. Also might be worth getting your eyes tested, new glasses often solve headache problems for people.

 

Other than that its just trial and error I guess. Try and drink heaps of water and wear sunnies during the day. I was suffering from regular headaches and was taking over the counter pills. At least one or two doses every day. Then I thought this is ridiculous and just stopped taking them altogether and have now found I don't get headaches like I used to. Go figure. maybe try and go clean for a while and see how you go.

ok

johnnyreeferseed is a med user as well and it just so happens that i suffer from intractable migrain headaches. i have tried alot of different strains for pain management, but the best thing that works for me is hashish injestion. i melt a little in a spoon over the stove element in some olive oil, cool down and eat. this stuff has enabled me to get off all narcotic analgesics. very narcotic like high. try it. it work wonders for me. there are some good med sites out there as well. they offer free seeds of medgrade mj seeds and support for medical users. check out www.medseed.net or www.compassionconnection.com. lots of good people with medical problems who use mj to alleviate their symptoms.

In the case of insomnia, its quite a simple solution but it worked for me.

Force yourself to get up at 5.30 AM.

And try to do at least an hours exercize or strenuous work each day, for some reason a little bit of resistance training makes me really tired..

Cut your sleep time down to 7 hours max.I also use Sleep Time Tea

it's kind of difficult to sleep when it feels like someones pounding you in the head with a hammer every time your heart beats. last time i slept was sunday night. today is wednesday. sometimes i hallucinate from lack of sleep. i'm at the point of collapse right now. when i wake up, my headache will be mostly gone, for a few hours anyways.

howdy,

 

to cure insomnia smoke more than 2 cones, I need pot to sleep and without pot I would never sleep, basically how stoned I am determines when I sleep, not what time it is etc.... sometimes I will sleep 3 hours a day, sometimes I will sleep 16 hours a day, it all depends what and how much I'm smoking.

 

You need to balance your sativa and indica intake though, I find after a day of smoking sativas you will be stoned as hell and tired as hell, but you are thinking too much to sleep. Thats my problem thinking and worrying, not pain.

 

Headaches are shit, I get em smoking commercial shit, or mixing pot with tobacco, tobacco is bad.

 

Home grown bud is the only way to go, and be very picky, whenever I smoke the tiniest bit of mould I get this throat infection and can't smoke again for a week and that happened all the time smoking commercial bud, I always keep a bit of leaf in case I run out, (which I haven't) , but yeah.

I think bublegum is a great strain to get to sleep, it is good indica shit that makes you happy and gives you the munchies and then you fall to sleep and wake up with furry teeth.

 

If you got enough lights you can pass out everynight from smoking.

All good advice, but I agree with pipeman mostly, mj helps but it's not a cure, see a doctor.

@ pipeman

 

i seem to remeber luke skywalker recommending a non mj plant or herb for migraine relief, was it a type of geranium??? can't recall what thread it was in either....thought you might be able to remember....

[Guest bacchus]

he he he...just came across it myself....don't know why i thought it was a type of geranium....

 

it's called feverfew, available at your local nursery.....

 

i'm sure luke skywalker wouldn't mind if you asked him a few questions about it....

hey pipeman, have you tried it out yet?

 

cheers
