Angela’s Top Tips Migraine is not a disease – don’t consider it as a disease. Every time you feel a headache consider whether it is a migraine or not and you need to be able to distinguish if it is a migraine or a headache. Always consider what you ate – what causes the electrolyte imbalance?

It is always going to be associated with what is potentially causing an electrolyte imbalance.” “Migraineurs still have these heightened sensory organs. We simply haven’t adapted the same way as the people who don’t have migraines.” “You are a migraineur because you live in an environment that is not appropriately prepared for your adaptation.” “If you are able to avert the early morning migraine, which is when the majority of the migraines start, then you have averted more than 50% of migraines.” “Migraineurs excrete 50% more sodium than non migraineurs.” Connect with Angela Stanton on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/MigraineBook Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/AngelaAStantonPhD Facebook
