Migraines and Cannabis Oil: An Update

I took cherry syrup for 10 years as I suffered from migraines. This has to be syrup not juice. Montmorency cherries are the best for its syrup. Take 1 tbsp twice daily for at least 3 months then 1 tbsp daily ongoing. It can be added to water, juice or taken straight up. I added mine to a glass of OJ. One tbsp of pure cherry syrup has the potency of 10 Ibuprofens but not the side effects of actually taking 10 Ibuprofens. My migraines were relieved and I would only on occasion suffer from a mild headache. I stopped taking the syrup about 4 months ago and whammo! I had the worst migraine headache with the nausea, vomiting and photosensitivity that I have had in years just 3 days ago. I went and bought my cherry syrup and will not ever stop it again!

My wife suffers from migraines. And has tried everything from vitamin therapy, acupuncture, to single meds, to combinations of medications without much in the way of results.

Does anyone have anything resembling reliable information about cannabis oil as a treatment for migraines? She (we) are at wits end in terms of finding something that will provide reliable relief.

And if it's a dead end, it's a dead end, I get that. I just feel so damned helpless watching her suffer and not being able to do anything to help her.

Thanks in advance.

Hope you have continued success, that's truly a blessing to get relief.

Thanks, Fluffy, very much.

An update:

Our first shipment of CBD oil arrived unscathed.

She's been taking it before bedtime in the recommended dosage and, knock on wood, has NOT had any migraine, or migraine symptoms, for TWELVE straight days.

Given what she'd been experiencing for the couple of previous months, this is as close to a miracle as one could get.

Note: I'm not a healthcare worker, neither is she. We have no association with any cannabis organization. I'm sharing our experience and nothing in my posts should be considered as advice or a recommendation for anyone. Etc., etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.

Can I ask where yo got it? My adult daughter has debilitating migraines.

her body is Toxic, actually over toxic if she's having migraines. A clean body does not get headaches. The more Tylenol or Advil she takes the more that she is laying down additional toxins. She needs to do a cleanse maybe start with a general then move onto organ specific, kidneys liver colon etc

Bumping!

Awesome results Larry, glad your wife is feeling better. Must be a weight off of your shoulders as well.

What is the source for ordering the cbd? Would love to order some myself

Obviously everyone is different, but I found that my salt levels were low. At onset I take some Pink Himalayan salt with lots of water (the larger crystals, bite and swallow )

Warm compress over my eyes and tiger balm on my temples and forehead and the back of my neck. Get into a hot bath. An anti inflammatory sometimes too. Mostly I find that the salt helps. It will also help if levels are kept high enough, and the migraines will be kept at bay. Monitor blood pressure, as you don't want that going too high because of the salt.

All the best to your wife.

for me to be convinced i would like to see if your wife gets through multiple period cycles! but great news though so far.

Yes I am a migraine sufferer or should say I used to be. I researched the internet for months to find a cure but always found strange remedies. My search ended when I found a doctor who really found a sure cure for these deadly headaches. So here is his answer and it does work for me though I only need to take magnesium.

There is a good remedy based on the central
causes of migraines that stop attacks within
a couple of minutes. Mix the contents of four
capsules (120mg per cap-Ed) of magnesium citrate/malate
and one capsule of calcium pyruvate (1,000 milligrams)
with 4 ounces of water and mix well. Drink this
and then eat a complex carbohydrate with some
type of meat, such as whole grain bread and
organic turkey or chicken. Just a half a sandwich
will do.
The supplement mixture reduces the vasospasm
and vasodilation cycle, blocks excitotoxicity,
raises energy levels in the brain and reduces
inflammation, which are the causes of the attack.
Hypoglycemia is a major trigger for a migraine
attack since it increases brain glutamate levels and
lowers magnesium levels, which are the reasons for
the attack. Dr R.Blaylock

I'm female and have suffered from migraines for ooohhh 22 years now.....

For me personally, after testing all sorts of mess from beta blockers, to general painkillers, stronger painkillers, immigrant injections etc....nothing worked in stopping them.

Couldn't find a dietary link to mine either. Mine appeared to be linked to the female hormones and were definitely worse at certain times of the month.

I had a hysterectomy and ovary removal 3 years ago and as soon as the estrogen had depleted completely, I stopped having migraines altogether. If I have anything slightly estrogenic now it will actually cause a migraine. The only reason I know is cos I tried add back hrt estrogen only and that caused the migraines and also some essential oils are estrogenic and they bring on migraines for me.

Some people have food allergies that cause them, sometimes it's not necessarily one specific food but a particularly combination of two or three foods.

There is a part of the ear which can be pierced and apparently this stops migraines.

Has she tried keeping a diary to see what possibly is causing them? Could be stress? Could be something environmental? Or a medication? Or a nerve issue?

Anyhow, cannabis is a pain reliever so I would have thought it would offer relief during an attack......whether it will stop them altogether I'm not sure?
