I can't believe how much better I feel now that the temperature has dropped. There also does not seem to be the big fluctuations in the temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. The thing that is still messing with my head is precipitation. I know the day before it's going to rain, then it rains and then it takes a day to feel better. That's three days out of my life.

Hello, Avlady ~ I realize this is well after the fact; however, am interested in Kermit... If you have a minute, would you provide direction? Thank you and stay well ~ :-)
Has anyone tried the green color therapy glasses or the rose tinted color for migraines? Which color do you think is better for migraines? A neurologist online recommended the green color therapy glasses for migraines.
I'm looking for something least expensive that works.
The rose tinted glasses are gnerally speaking for indoor use only where there are a lot of florescent lighting. I have a pair of MIGRALENS and they filter out both the blue and the red spectrum, and… read more
