Bachmann Finds Link Between Migraines & High-Heels
"As Rep. Michele Bachmann's severe migraines hit the headlines this week, The Daily Caller website reported that the Minnesota Republican has -- to her staff -- implausibly blamed the headaches on uncomfortable high-heel shoes."

1. Maybe the extra height causes her to bang her head on low-hanging objects.

12. Too bad the migraines don't cause
the vicious things she says. Wearing flats can't help that mouth - but it's a start :crazy:

22. Now if only a reporter would connect the dots
and ask if her migraines are the result of Marcus wearing them.

16. Feets Have A Whole Lot of Nerves
I feel for anyone who has migraines.


Here's the list of stuff that triggers migraines for me:

Blueberries
Blackberries
Chocolate
Weather change
Fragrances, especially Febreze
Stress
Sinusitis attack
Molds

Never thought about my feet, but I don't count anything out when it comes to migraines.

20. me too
Imitrex made my life so much better. Having my neck fused, menopause, and not smoking, have all but ended them for me. I also have weather related onset. Chinese food started one of my last ones.
I generally got an aura of lightening bolts so I'd take the Imitrex then and avoid the whole thing.

I got a migraine once after surgery. I was on a PCA of Demerol. Did not touch the headache. Only Imitrex, works. It reverses the constricted blood vessels and let's the pressure off.
