Hello all,
This is my first post! It feels so good to be amongst people who understand POIS!
What I find most intriguing about POIS is that the food we eat has a huge impact on our condition. I tried vitamin B and it minimized about half my symptoms. I still need to try fenugreek and olive leaf extract...
I would like to know if some of you experience the same thing:
Sometimes when I'm in the POIS recovery phase, I get a very strong headache. It doesn't feel AT ALL like a normal headache. There's no fever, no sinus inflammation but the pain is almost unbearable. All I could do when I had those episodes was to wrap my head in something hot, lie down and sleep over it.
Luckily, I have found a very simple remedy: a thyme infusion. The first relief signs are quick (about 10 minutes after ingestion). A total relief follows after approx. 1-2 hours.
To prepare a thyme infusion, simply buy some thyme at your local grocery (fresh thyme is best, dried thyme works also very well). Put approx. 2-4 teaspoons of thyme in a cup. Fill the cup with boiling water. Let infuse 15 minutes before drinking.
