Most recent migraine
My most recent migraine occurred after a hockey game about 8 weeks ago. I have to admit, I hadn't been stretching my neck like I should have been and it was 5 or 6 weeks since my last adjustment. The migraine came with the normal symptoms: black aura, followed by numbness in my hand then the pain in the head and eyes. It was interesting this time around though, because the aura wasn't that big, the numbness slowly spread from my thumb to my pinky, and the pain wasn't that bad. I didn't take any medicine. I just stretched for a bit and went to bed. I was even able to sleep.
Since then, I've been making a point to get adjusted by the chiropractor every 4 weeks and I've been stretching my neck everyday, many times a day. I haven't had a migraine since, which is good considering I play hockey once a week and do a serious MetCon at least once a week. I am consistently reaffirming that my formula for prevention is regular stretching and chiropractic adjustments every 4 weeks or less.

At this point, it is still a work in progress. I will post a few night pics with the fogger and lights as soon as I get them.
