My sister gets migraines, and is struggling to find things that will help. She is currently on week three of the worst one she’s ever had. But her birthday is this week! And currently being ruined.
So, what helpful migraine related gifts can I get her? What do you find works?
Thank you muchly, I wish you all pain-free days
this sounds like a nightmare, I hope she feels better soon!
my migraines are usually short, so this might be very basic, but the thing that helps me the most are very small freezer blocks. I use them to cool my head, face, back of the neck and so on, it is the only thing that helps the pain, and the smaller ones are much more comfortable but almost no one has them at home in my experience (but you need a few of them, as they warm faster). also, I can’t look at screens and if it is bad enough, I can’t focus my eyes on anything. if she is the same maybe something to listen to? I personally also have to drink a crazy amount of water, otherwise the migraine keeps going. it would be easier and more fun with fun drinks or electrolytes
in some countries, it is illegal to have more than 6 kilos of honey on your person without a permit
I was having dinner with a patisserie chef from Israel and when the topic of honey came up, he told me Israel has a honey cartel run by the Council of Honey. They have an upper and lower limits to how much a honey farm is allowed to sell each year, and they have to sell to distributers and not the public, so there must be a middlemen, for example. To limit honey import, you are not allowed to have too much honey on you without a permit, and so even though jewish people traditionally eat honey at the start of the jewish year, they hardly eat any honey compare to Europe.
The dinner was yesterday and I keep getting texts about the honey cartel.
