Re: “I do not know if anyone else ever heard of T-Bands but it was new to my ears and am glad this is a simple fix that I can do daily...”Funny, the things we can do on our own with seemingly miraculous results.

Following my surgery, I had a huge resurgence in migraines. I was having several every day and had no idea why. I told one of the home-visit nurses about it and she connected a couple of dots: I was getting more migraines AND I was drinking a lot of water. "So maybe you're urinating too much and losing your electrolytes," she said. "Drink a Gatorade and see if it helps."

Voila. It was like magic. On days when I had a morning Gatorade, no migraines. Skip it and there was a very good chance I'd have one. So now I have a 20 oz bottle every day and don't get migraines anymore.

In hindsight, the diagnosis seems obvious. But I've told several doctors - including an endocrinologist - and they've all been surprised. It wasn't something they'd have thought of.

I just wonder how many people with chronic migraines could be helped in the same way.

BTW, I don't think I was actually drinking that much water. But I do have diabetes insipidus which results in the same thing: urinating too frequently with a resultant drop in electrolytes.

Greetings from a cold southwestern Ohio this morning !

I am making good progress. I started driving short distances this week. Like to the local store, a few miles to see my older brother who had a birthday last day of November and take him some goodies to munch on for a tasty present!

As De knows, the chest incision takes a while to stop being a place of irritation. Doesn't hurt per se but just does not like clothingto rub on it because it is irritatiing..

My body strength is returning gradually and best news is my oldest daughter who is almost a PHD in Science (anatomy and physiology) surprised me over the weekend with a method to relieve the pain in my right hip running down into my right knee and creates additional obstacles to my ability to walk normally. )Realize I have a arthritic eaten out right knee I get Gel cushioning injections into)

My daughter educated me about T-Bands and suggested that mine were in dire need of being massaged and loosened up which would significantly help my walking and my right foot path in my gait. (keeping foot toe facing forward in alignment instead of wandering off to the right side)

So she brought a massager and showed me how to use it on the T Bands on my right thigh..

To my surprise, this actually helped my ability to walk with my lower leg staying in alignment and toe of my foot staying pointed forward instead of off to the right side.. And my knee felt better as well....

I am surprised but feeling pretty thankful I was blessed with daughters of acute intelligence and who want to help their dad.. I do not know if anyone else ever heard of T-Bands but it was new to my ears and am glad this is a simple fix that I can do daily...

Catch you guys later.

THANK YOU ALL for all the research you take your valuable time to look up and share. I learn a lot reading things you all share and post and am thankful to you all!

My Kindest regards,

micro....
