<p>Excellent suggestions! Thanks!</p>
<p>I did a search and actually found some little pocket devices as well…but I don’t know how practical those would be. And I am definitely willing to spend the $$ on a room air filter, if that will help. You’ve given some excellent tips on how to mention it without making a big fuss…which is exactly what I was looking for - thanks!</p>
<p>Those of us with migraines know that some things can make us more or less susceptible to headaches. I’m not talking triggers, really, in this instance; rather things we can do to make ourselves less vulnerable.</p>
<p>One that helps me a lot is to make sure there is enough protein in my diet. Especially starting with breakfast; say a poached egg each morning. Or whatever works for him. Make sure he’s getting enough liquid/hydration.</p>
<p>Things like that may help.</p>
<p>Ah, very good point. I’ve read that hangover headaches are said to be caused by dehydration and the best thing to do is drink lots of water, so that makes sense.</p>
<p>I didn’t know about the protein, though.</p>
<p>I just left a VM for him suggesting he drink extra water and have a protein shake before going to hang out with his friends - thanks, very useful info!</p>
<p>jmmom, if you happen to think of any other ‘things like that’ like maybe vitamin C or whatever, please let me know - thanks!</p>
<p>I think, for me, those two things plus not skipping meals are the key ones (maybe the only ones).</p>
<p>try chewing gum? I don’t know why – as a former smoker, I think that might help him.</p>
<p>Oh wow, he has been known to skip some meals!</p>
<p>And chewing gum? Wow, didn’t know that either!</p>
