Do you or a loved one suffer from migraines?
The first time I learned about migraines was in college. My best friend since we were six years old developed them in our freshman year of college. She never really suffered from them throughout school. For some reason they hit her in college. They were so debilitating that she would miss a day or two of classes.
I know other people who suffer from migraines. Most tend to be women (that I know personally) except my husband. He suffers from migraines too. They didn’t really start until about 10 years ago. His migraines are so bad that the only way to deal with them is to go to sleep. Sometimes he can sleep one off but he ends up having to sleep 4-5 hours to get rid of it – during the day time!
My husband has an entire “arsenal” of things on hand both at home and at work to use in case his migraine gets too bothersome.
My husband is like me and doesn’t like to take medication unless it’s unavoidable. We prefer homeopathic and natural remedies whenever possible.
Sometimes prescription medications or the OTC medications don’t even work. I guess there are different degrees of migraines.
I suffer from migraines too. Not as frequently as my husband (he gets at least 1-2 per week). I get them when I get overheated (I get them a lot in the summer) and when I am super stressed out.
We are not alone. It’s estimated that 36 million people in the U.S. suffer from migraines. Some can last as long as 72 hours! I could not imagine having to deal with one for that long. The longest I’ve had one was about 2 or 3 hours. My husband’s last longer – even all day.
There is a new, fast acting, topical pain relieving gel on the market that has been shown to safely and effectively relieve migraine pain. It’s called Stopain Migraine.
Stopain Migraine comes in a bottle with a pump top. To use press the airless pump to release a measured dose into your hand then apply the gel to the back of your neck and behind each ear. The gel is clear and absorbs quickly so you could use it at work or on the go and not have anyone notice it. The pump works at any angle too.
Rub the gel into your skin until it absorbs. It takes only a few seconds.
The gel has a mentho scent to it. It reminds me of the vapor rub my mom used to use on me when I was little. The good thing is that the scent from Stopain Migraine does not go very far. In other words no one should smell it unless they are very close to you, unlike muscle creams which stink up the whole room.
After a few minutes the gel leaves a cold sensation on your skin (similar to a muscle cream). It’s actually a soothing feeling.
A study conducted by the Jefferson Headache Center at Thomas Jefferson University showed that Stopain Migraine significantly improved migraine pain.
Stopain Migraine provides users with safe, fast and effective relief from migraines. Because it’s applied topically it can be used along with other migraine medications. You don’t have to worry about them interfering with one another.
You can apply Stopain Migraine up to four times per day. You can apply it as soon as you feel a migraine coming on or after you migraine has kicked in.
The product does NOT contain aspirin, caffeine, or acetaminophen and is free of dyes and preservatives. The product has no known side effects or drug interactions. Because it has no dyes or preservatives it won’t irritate your skin.
My husband and I both tried Stopain Migraine. I only had the opportunity to try it once for a migraine. I used it one other time when I thought it was a migraine coming on but it was more of a sinus headache.
The gel leaves a cold, tingly feeling on your skin (similar to muscle cream) but it’s rather soothing. It actually felt good on a hot day.
My husband has used this product several times. I received two bottles to review and he keeps one at home and one at work.
He tells me it’s most effective when he applies it at the first sign of a migraine coming on. He tells me it seems to help. Either it stops the migraine and it fades away, or the intensity is not as debilitating as it normally is.
He’s also used Stopain Migraine during a migraine. He says it seems to help with the severity. The migraine is still there, but it’s not as crippling as his migraines can be.
As far as our experience goes Stopain Migraine did help to stop a migraine from happening and/or noticeably decreased the severity of the migraine. As with any product I’m sure individual results will vary.
We are going to continue to use this product. It has proven itself to be beneficial when dealing with dreaded migraines.
