Solace or Solice, you come across like a religious nut.

We stayed clear of your type back in Nam. Any problems, they went straight to the chaplain. And he'd take it to the CO.

You holy rollers were just too much trouble.

Preventative medication.

In particular, beta-blockers.

Tell her to ask her doctor about Inderal (propranolol).

This drug certainly works for me (and many others).

I don't like the idea of taking prescription drugs.

However, in some cases they can greatly improve one's life.

In my case, Inderal has done just that.

Absolutely nothing would relieve the pain and symptoms of my migraines.

I finally saw a specialist who suggested taking heart medication -  Inderal.  WTF?  Heart medication?

It turns out that these beta-blockers can actually prevent migraines from happening in the first place.  They work for me.

Everybody is different, and they may not work for your niece. 

Best thing to do is at least discuss it with a doctor.

I take a very small dose, and they cost $16 a bottle.

They're also called Deralin.

Don't know the age of your granddaughter Baron....but my experience may be helpful.

I started getting migraines at 13.......flashing white dots, purple and green zigzaggy lines.......within around 30 minutes the nausea and vomiting started and continued every 15 minutes or so for around 6 hours. It was hell on earth.

Think I had 4 of these episodes before mum took me off to the doctor.....nothing she had tried had worked.

I was put on preventative medication for a year and I have not had a migraine since............I've sometimes wondered whether it was a puberty thing I would have grown out of anyway, but if I were in your position, I'd be seeking professional medical advice with your granddaughter and take it from there.

many blessings ,

your ignorant comments in regards to drugs

and vaccines is noted ...

human beings do not need drugs and vaccines

if not for all the rubbish being consumed

fast foods junk foods coke and pepsie drink dispensers

v and mother rubbish ..

ones such as I am eats natural foods

no meats

raw fruits and veg and I do not need your drugs

or vaccines ... so rather than your forgiven accusation

of one such as I am a fool for this

reflects volumes upon your level of ignorance upon

such matters and as such

because you are hooked on drugs there is no need

to infect children with your affliction .

carry on regardless for all are loved regardless

        Shimmering, pulsating patches, often curved
        Tunnel vision
    Scotoma
        Blind or dark spots in the field of vision
        Curtain-like effect over one eye
        Slowly spreading spots
    Kaleidoscope effects on visual field
    Temporary blindness in one or both eyes[5][6]
    Heightened sensitivity to light

Auditory changes

    Hearing voices or sounds that do not exist: true auditory hallucinations
    Modification of voices or sounds in the environment: buzzing, tremolo, amplitude modulation or other modulations
    Heightened sensitivity to hearing

Other sensations

    Strange smells (Phantosmia) or tastes (Gustatory hallucinations)
