Todo sobre las Migrañas - AIO Migraines

Después de tiempo por fin logró postear algo, y es que el "free time" no esta de mi lado. Lo bueno es que tengo varias cosas por postear y lo iré haciendo con relativa regularidad.

Para comenzar encontré este tema, que es muy solicitado por ciertos mortales que andan reencontrando el significado de su existencia a través del dolor continuo y perverso. He decidido postear todo lo que he podido encontrar al respecto, asi como algunos tratamientos alternativos y artículos, para ayudar a todo aquel que sufra este dolor, o si no, como me dijo alguien que lo padecia, "al leer este libro no logré calmar mi dolor, pero ahora se, que la migraña me acompaña aún cuando estoy dormido".

Lean, aprendan y disfruten:

Migraine (Neurological Disease and Therapy)
Supported by an extensive review of migraine pathogenesis and more than 200 case histories gleaned from the authors' personal experiences, this guide proposes two radical new concepts: all primary headaches are fundamentally a form of migraine and everyone may experience some manifestation of the migraine process in their life. Offering an in-depth overview of the migraine mechanism, including discussions of the neurogenic, vascular, platelet, and serotonin related components of the process, this source supplies extensive illustrations of the neuroanatomical structures involved in migraine and the latest insights from functional neuroimaging using BOLD fMRI and PET.

Prescription Pain Relievers
We have all felt it,and we probably agree that of all the sensations we are capable of experiencing, pain is our least favorite. Sometimes it’s a shooting pain, like when we step barefoot on a nail or accidentally bite our tongue. Sometimes it comes on very slowly and lingers for hours or days, like a bad sunburn. Or it might hurt only when we move a part of our body, like after we pull a hamstring or sprain an ankle. Still other times, such as during a migraine, the pain comes and goes, with days, weeks, or months between episodes; when it does come, it leaves us almost incapable of functioning. Other than pain, few sensations have generated so many words in the English language to describe them. Pain can be dull, nagging, sharp, burning, aching, searing, gnawing, scalding, stinging, crushing, pulsing, throbbing, pounding, shooting, pricking, stabbing, cramping, wrenching, splitting, unbearable, excruciating, agonizing, blinding, grueling pick your favorite.
