Dear LACTNETTERS:

Several months ago, we were discussing interventions for breastfeeding women
who have migraines.  Somebody out there suggested that a midwife once told
them to put a few grains of cayenne pepper on the end of a toothpick and SNIFF
it in.

Well, all day today I've had a screaming migraine, which 2 doses of fiornal
would not touch.  For whatever reason, I remembered this post, and sniffed in
a bit of cayenne.  It worked!!  I feel incredibly better.

Bless you, whoever you were who posted that so long ago!!!!!!!!!

And thank heavens for LACTNET and all of the collective wisdom there!
