Damn... a two and a half year remission has ended.
But after three weeks of three or four a day I remembered something and it seems to be working... and maybe it is something you mightn't be aware of... the magic of licorice.
I ran across this three years ago (along with my own water-method similar to the w3 cited at this site) and it seems to work semi-miracles. I didn't have time to search the site so maybe this is not new to you but if it is give it a try: Real (dark, black, gooey) licorice
Used by the Chinese and the Egyptians for thousands of years for its curative powers... I started munching yesterday on some serious Finnish licorice (Panda brand) and do so each time I feel the pain coming... four times out of four so far it has warded off the headache.
God knows how I let myself forget this but when I saw some in the store yesterday I bought six boxes.
Candy licorice like nibs and twisters will not likely work - get the real thing (homemade Italian is what I will be purchasing at the beginning of March when I am in Torino) and try. Trust me on this - it could be a miracle for you.
