Question:
I use a blow dryer on the onset of a migraine on low heat gently in my ears across my forehead and back of my neck to stop it in its tracks. It works for me and beats the heck out of the demeral and phenergran dopey feeling. Did the inventors of this wonderful appliance realize what they had created?

Response:
Does anyone experience a severe burning sensation in your finger tips?
Response:
Yes, not often thankfully, it is a very unpleasant feeling. I think it is circulation related or nerve damage from poor circulation (my opinion only). Do you have many fingers burning?

Response:
Only on my left hand Mum. Its my thumb, fore finger and middle finger. Its the first time I have had this sensation though I have heard and been told about it. No color changes per say.

There have been many a cold day in Massachusetts that I’ve wanted to hold a lighter under my fingers. The blow dryer that I carried with me was a life saver. I don’t know if doctors would approve of using heat like that to alleviate numb fingers, but what they don’t know won’t hurt them.

Response:
My hubby used to get migraines and my boss still gets at least one a month. Both of them swear by applying ice to the temples (in fact, my boss has recently seen a "migraine ice pack" being marketed) and resting. My boss often wakes up with hers, so she’ll lay down with ice (and pain meds, of course) for a few hours, and be in by lunch time. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Sherry Messick wrote in message <7mcsi2$i3…@autumn.news.rcn.net>… >I try to ignore it.

I try to ignore it. I am usually pretty successful at blocking out pain by relaxation techniques or by keeping myself occupied but sometimes it gets to be too much.

Mine varys Amie. Sometimes ice helps, sometime heat, most of the time a heavy dose of pain meds and phenergran suppository backed by sleep in a real dark room. If I feel it startingand catch right as it starts, the blow dryer trick my Mom taught me helps lessen it.

Yes very very often. Usually daily since my hands began contracting. I have been told it is due to damage to the nerve fibers in my hands because of skin tightening and hardening. — Sherry Messick surviv…@sclerodermasupport.com ************************************************************* Surviving Scleroderma http://sclerodermasupport.com Scleroderma & Autoimmune Message Board Forums Visit: http://SclerodermaSupport.com/discussion Subscribe to the SD & Autoimmune Digest at http://SclerodermaSupport.com/digest.htm Scleroderma Foundation Greater Washington DC Serving: MD, VA and DC http://sclerodermagw.org ************************************************************* Join Us Online "Together We Can Beat The Odds" Richard Schiehl <rschi…@gulftel.com> wrote in message
