IT WORKS!   gatorade relieves headaches Comments By: anon I woke up with a headache and it stayed with me ALL day. I remembered reading an e-mail that said two glasses of Gatorade would help. I was desperate so I tried it. It worked I didn't evan need two glasses just two big gulps. So Cool!!   No real relief yet.. Comments By: Sandi I have drank the normal 2 cups recommended (which takes alot for me because I can't STAND Gatorade). Anyway, I am not getting any real relief yet (just waves of nausea which are probably related to the excruciating headache). I will update if it gets better. By the way, how long should it take?   gatorade and migranes Comments By: Michelle I have suffered migranes since I was seven years old. Once I hit puberty, I got them twice a month...when I ovulated and when I began my menstrual cycle. In any event, been popping pills forever. I did start drinking gatorade at the first sign...also started using it to take my meds. Sometimes one gatorade will do the trick, other time I need to drink 5 in the course of a day. It is remarkable how less painful the headaches are...also how quickly they disappear. I haven't had to fill my prescription for 2 months now...I don't think this remedy is in my head (excuse the pun). Anyone have a guess as to why this works? My husband thinks it is both the elecrolytes and potassium...I'm just thankful someone told me about it.   UITSTEKEND(Dutch for excellent) GATORADE Comments By: JazzyJean I am sure glad to have found this site. I was, for some minutes, sick with migraine and I was just taking chances that I would find some study about Gatorade and headache relief and well, I stumbled upon this! Gatorade has always been an excellent alternative to my pain relievers whenever I am having migraine. I have, by chance,drank this wonder drink while beset with a terrible migraine years ago. By miracle, my terrible headache disappeared. I then came to realize that GATORADE isn't just your usual power drink or soda boost. It is power packed with electrolytes which helps to open up cells, thereby oxygenizing them . We usually have pain too when we lack the adequate oxygen. As a health practitioner,I came to realize why Gatorade gave that sudden result and since then on, I came to rely on Gatorade for a speedy relief. Glad that other people have discovered this natural alternative to headache. JazzyJean
