Having inherited migraine from your parent is far from being inherited with treasures. I suffered from Migraine and so did my mother. We both had migraine twice in a day, it went on and on for years. My mom took her regular pain killer when it attacked. I was not into taking medicine or other chemical substances as I prefer something natural to cure any illnesses.
Till one day I came to an insight if doing a regular jogging could minimize your migraine. I put on my running shoes and start jogging everyday, 5 times a week for 30 minutes. I was proud of being very consistent and committed to myself, I never stopped doing this jogging even though it was a sizzling rain and quite often I put on my raincoat to keep my consistency and commitment in jogging.
It took me 2 years to do this regularly and now it was completely healed. As jogging has become my habit and part of life cycle, I cannot stop this exercise and now I have been jogging for more than 15 years.
I have shared this to a friend who suffered from migraine and she told me it did not work. I decided to sit with her and monitor her for a week. The first and second day went smoothly but not the third day, as it rained but not pouring and she decided to stay home and escaped the routine. On the other occasion, she felt bored of doing this routine with many excuses.
Now I figured out the answer why same cure worked for some but not to someone else. The hardest part to do is being consistent and committed in everything you do. It is about willingness and self discipline. Put this simile, a drop of water cannot give a rock a dent but drops of water can. It applies to all things we do in life. So put on your running shoes and start running.

Hello Risty,

Running shoes brand ? hahaha...are we gona publish the brand here ? I prefer a better brand for my running shoes as I use them everyday
Wow! you are walking for 15 years! that's awesome, well done! I love walking especially in the morning after i take my kids to school, but the problem is i'm not consistent; i do it three or four times a week. I wish i was consistent just like you.:)
Hello If, jogging really works not only for a migraine, include stress, anxiety, feeling bored and alone, and even dysmenorhea..But I prefer walking, my area is near to corniche and very suitable for jogging, walking and biking… I bet your area is similar too. I agree with you on not to take drugs without even trying some natural remedies… and please warn your mom, taking painkillers will destroy her kidneys... thanks for sharing!
Do you have any suggestion which brand of running shoes is better?
Luci,
