A member asked:
I was told by several elders that i should not take showers when i have migraines or heavy pain on the right side of my head. is this true or a myth?

Each is individual: Every migraneur knows of home remedies which work best for them. For some, hot showers relieve pain while for others it's an ice pack. For others, getting to bed in a quiet & dark room is the ticket. Nobody can predict that another will respond as they do when it comes to headaches. Having said that, there may be some truth to showers causing problems as these can change blood pressure leading
