Subject: Cycling off Migraines!!!
|
About 10 years ago I was diagnosed with Migraine. It hit hard, nearly
disabling me for 18 months. Friends were always giving me suggestions
on what to try and someone suggested bicycling. I had tried exercise
before; in fact the link between exercise and Migraine is well
established. I love bicycling! In Jr. High I would cycle all over
the place. Down to the beach, up and down the hills of downtown .....
Yeah, I could do this!
I had an old 10-speed bike in my garage so I filled up the tires,
found my helmet, and got it ready the night before. That morning I
woke up early and went for a nice one mile ride. I came home and threw
up, and I did it every day that week: but no more Migraines!!! I sure
could have used a recumbent johnny though.....

If you are still having migraines, you had better have your blood pressure
checked. All the cycling in the world won't help if you have a high blood
pressure problem.

I have known for a long time that cycling recumbent has helped the pain
in my back and neck. As long as I ride I am pain free, but with the
weather the way it is now, I am unable or willing to ride so that pain
has returned. I guess the endorphins produced during a workout helps
mask the pain, or even remove it.
