Migraine

For many years, my wife suffered for migraine headaches, any one who suffers from this malady knows how debilitating it is, it takes over your life.

Recently Matilda had a run of extra bad attacks, after number five I called for an ambulance. The paramedics checked her out and decided to take her to ER. After a lot of tests and a brain scan, they had no answer, the drugs they gave her had no effect. In the end they gave her a sedative and sent her home. The following day she was washed out, but recovered. Two days later, another migraine. What the hell’s going on, what is different, what has changed? Thinking back, I recall her telling me she had bought this rather expensive shampoo on special at half price and how it was really great, it had bamboo fibres in it and it made her hair ‘full bodied’. Was this the culprit?
