T Stands for Human Barometer

Last Tuesday, I woke up very early with a migraine. The barometric pressure was falling and 

a huge storm with heavy downpours was moving through the area. I didn't need the weather dudette to tell me about the storm. Besides being wet and stormy, it was also going to be a non-productive day.

In my mid-20s when I was first diagnosed with migraine (due to stress), I was put on some pretty heavy and addictive medications. I don't take those kinds of meds anymore and don't want to. Some ibuprofen helps,

along with copious amounts of tea, and a long nap in dark, cool room.

A couple of years ago, I learned there was a pressure point in the pocket between thumb and forefinger, but it's hard to keep pressure on that spot for a long length of time. I came across this device called Aculief. It's a plastic clip that you slip over your hand that applies pressure to the nerve. The clip provides enough relief for me until the front moves through.
