Headaches....

As I have mentioned many times on CZ I have had migraines and headaches for over 30 years. Yesterday I felt a migraine coming on and thought to myself that I would either kill or cure it by trying inversion.

I was a little scared because part of me felt that hanging upside would make matter much worse. I know that if I bend over for any reason during a headache the pain increases substantially, and basically any movement at all makes things worse.

But I thought, what have I got to lose. So I inverted. I did it much more gently and slowly than usual and I was very surprised to find that it didn't increase the pain at all. And whilst it didn't get rid of the headache completely, it did lessen it and the headache was completely gone within an hour or so. I can't say for sure if the inversion lessened the duration of the headache. Sometimes they last all night, sometimes they go away after a few hours. But it didn't make things worse and I guess that is what surprised me the most.

I am hoping that with time and continued regular inversion I can lessen the amount of headaches I get in the first place.
