Oh my gosh I've so got to try this. Migraines are nasty evil things absolutely detest them 

They sure are. 40 years and I have never actually found what triggers mine but when they hit I can be down for a few hours, up to 3 days, just horrible. My sister gets them too. I texted her tonight and told her about the pickle juice cure. Going to stock up on dill pickles so I'll always have them. I think I'll eat anothrr as a precaution before bed. 

Well if it works I'm willing to give it a shot. They don't know what triggers mine either 

I'm willing to try it for my migraines I usually have to sleep them off and aftery last 2 weeks straight migraines I'll give it a shot 

that is great! I will have to try it, thanks  

I will give this a try too  

that is awesome! I guess you need to stock up on pickle juice 

This is fantastic news! 

OMG, I will have to try that! When I get the flashes, I immediately take a strong dose of ibuprofen but it usually takes 2 or more doses to fight it off. 

What a great thing for you! So glad it worked!! 

that is wonderful. I will tell my daughter who is a migraine sufferer. 

Pickles are fabulous. I eat three sweet pickles to help stem arthritis pain; it works for me! Doing the "natural" vinegar doesn't have the same effect. My migraines can be stemmed by immediately taking 3 200 mg Advil and washing them down with at least half a can of Classic Coke, but next time I'll try the pickles for that, too. 

Wow!! I never heard that but so glad it worked!! 

So happy for you! I get a migraine once every few years and it-is-horrible. I can't imagine how people can deal with this happening 'regularly'! 

Oh WOW!!! I get migraines 3-5 days per week. Mine does the fumes like squiggly lines in my vision and that's my warning. I had no idea about pickles/juice could help. I'm going out to get a big jar today! Thanks for sharing... I have had sinus surgery and it helped for a while (couple years) but none of the meds the Doc gave me didn't help at all... Thanks again!!! 

That is so wonderful! My husband swears that the power of pickle juice is powerful! So happy for you! 💚💚💚 

I have never had any doctor of mine mention that pickle juice could help a migraine headache. They either offer the caffiene option which is also sometimes thought to be a trigger or they told me to take pain meds which with my health problems, are nit an option. This afternoon I pulled the pickle jar (Mt Olive - petite snack crunchers - Kosher Dill) out of the fridge and read the label for the ingredients wondering which one, or what combination in it stopped my migraine. Perhaps the electrolytes, salt or potassium? Ingredients: cucumbers, vinegar, salt, calcium cloride, sodium benzoate, polysorbate, potassium metabisulfite. Per 3 small pickles (1 ounce): 0 grams fat, 310mg sodium, 1 gram carb, 0 gram protien. Okay now, do I start carrying a jar of pickles in my purse? This pickle juice cure is certainly something I am going to discuss with my doctor tomorrow. 

BlueFront, can I share what you wrote on Facebook, or at least by private email to one of my friends? She's suffered for a very long time. Fortunately, mine stopped after 10 years or so, while I was going through peri-menopause and menopause.  

@ Miraculmin Yes you are welcome to share this with anyone you feel it may help. My only concern would be to people who have adverse effects from too much sodium. I know there's a high level of salt in pickles and their juice. I personally don't have high blood pressure but know those who do so they might want to discuss this with their physician first. I was amazed at hiw quickly it stopped my migraine. I hope it is something that helps others too.  

Vinegar alone doesn't do it, but the combination of dill pickle ingredients does something! My ex used to drink it for various problems, and now my daughter drinks it. I'm impressed with the wonders of pickle juice!
