Hello there folks. I simply needed to inquire as to whether any of you had a go at utilizing restorative weed for headache? I have not, but I'd say give it a try. Go to a good pot shop and ask them for their recommendations.

I apologize if someone has already mentioned this, but exercise headaches respond to a specific type of NSAID known as indomethacin. I wrote about this for Swimmer in the Jan-Feb 2016 issue. Here is the relevant excerpt: Researchers have learned that neurotransmitters like serotonin and nitric oxide play critical roles in this process. For PEH and closely related headaches, the role of nitric oxide here was discovered serendipitously thanks to the unique efficacy of one medication: indomethacin. Indomethacin is a member of the NSAID family, a broad drug class that includes over-the-counter pain killers like ibuprofen and naproxen. Like its more famous chemical relatives, indomethacin reduces inflammation and dampens the discomforts of everything from arthritis to dental pain. But indomethacin has an additional effect, one the others lack. It quickly stops the pain of primary exercise headache, cough headache, and sex headache alike. This effect is so specific, in fact, that headache specialists refer to these conditions as indomethacin-responsive headaches. But why does this one NSAID work so well when all the others don’t? That’s when researchers discovered that indomethacin impacts a specific target the others fail to hit: an enzyme called nitric oxide synthase. How this, in turn, turns off a sufferer’s pain is still far from fully elucidated. The good news, though, is that it works well in a high percentage of cases. NOTE: you will need to get a prescription for indomethacin--not available over the counter.

Hello there, I have found this thread after some research on migraines after swimming. I have now been swimming for 22 years and had migraines for 22 years. Not until 3 months ago did I stop for a longer period (2 months) because of bronchitis. My migraines have stopped and gone away. What a miracle, but how sad that I don't see myself able to swim again. For now I am so relieved to have finally found a reason for my migraines. I have been to see doctors and neurologist over the years, and no one has ever mentioned swimming could be a reason. I do remember once in 1998 I thought about swimming and stopped for 2-3 days, but I still got migraines. Now I am thinking that it was too short, that it must be seen over a longer period. I have never been able to link one migraine to a swim session, I think it is more of a long-term thing. I have been on preventative medicine for the last 3-4 years (Sandomigram) but am now stepping down and hope to be finally and completely rid of midicine. Let's see. I read this thread with interest but am not brave enough to keep swimming until I have managed to drop all medicine, at least. Maybe I will never swim again. I read on another thread (triathlon forum) that a person had tried salt water for swimming and also there got migraines - so maybe it is not the chlorine, which I thought first it would be. Any comments would be greatly appreciated, would love to hear how it is going others with same problem. Cheers

Karl, you can go to your My USMS page, click on read Swimmer Magazine, which takes you to another page where you can select the year (in this case 2016) and the edition (Jan-Feb) and it will open up the whole issue in digital form.
