When I have a headache, I reach for my "corn bag". It's a cloth (flannel) sewn bag about 10X6 filled with feed corn. I pop it in the microwave for 2 - 2 1/2 min. and apply to my face or neck. At the same time I drink a cup of lemon green tea while in a semi-reclining position. You can make the bags yourself with your choice of fabric. The flannel is nice for the face softness. I recomment double sewing the seams.

I suffer from massive
I suffer from massive migraines daily,from the time I get up in the morning til I go to bed at night. Sometimes its hard to shake them,I find that an ice pack on the back of my neck eases the tension of the migrain,but doesnt cure it. I still have it on a level between 1-10 its about a 5. But rubbing Icy-Hot on the back of my neck & on the temples of my head sure feels great & the smell doesnt bother me either,course I've never asked others how it smells either,lol

For migraines I take 2 or 3 over-the -counter migraine pills, plus drink a 12oz. Mountain Dew or two. All the caffeine works wonders in 30 minutes or less every time.
