Migraine Sufferer's Best Friend
By Patricia on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2015
I have been dealing with chronic migraines with aura since I was in my early teens. If I do not intervene when a migraine starts; it could last for days, weeks, or even months. Last fall, my go to medication for intervention stopped working. My neurologist tried to find a new one that I could tolerate, and that would work. We tried several different medications over the course of a few months. Nothing was working. My migraines started lasting longer and longer each time, breaking only after weeks of medication. In January, I woke up with a migraine that was a lot worse than most of the ones I'd had before. Unlike the others, this one didn't finally go away after a few weeks of medication. It persisted, grew worse, and resisted any attempt at treatment. Inflammation plays a large role in chronic migraines. My neurologist suggested Botox as a treatment, but it was taking weeks to get insurance approval. In the meantime, he suggested that I used cold therapy to alleviate some of the pain. I had a few smaller ice packs leftover from a wisdom teeth removal a few years ago, and found that they worked well when pressed against each of my trigger points (two at base of head, two right above my temples). But trying to keep them in place was impossible. I improvised for a while by using an old headband, but it wasn't really big enough to hold them properly. Luckily, the botox approval came through, and I was able to start the treatment. The botox has helped to significantly reduce the intensity of the pain and my other symptoms. But the ice packs still come in handy on the rare days that the pain gets out of control. Looking for a better way to keep them in place when I do use them, I ordered one of these headbands to try. I have used it twice this week already, and it works wonderfully. It is just tight enough to hold the packs on my head and provide a little pressure, but not tight enough to be uncomfortable. I have started telling everybody I know to get one of these and a few small ice packs, and to keep them on hand for any time they get a headache. I go back into the neurologist for a check up next week, and I plan on telling him too. More migraine sufferers need to try this. It's incredibly effective and affordable; and, unlike other treatments, it has no side effects. If anybody is interested in trying this, here is a link to ice packs like the ones I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XM1JI48?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01

Versatile, but too thin fabric to be fully protective
By Ana Maria on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020
This Tough Headband product is nothing more and nothing less than a tubular piece of thin polyester. It can be used as a bandana or neck gaiter, but it's so thin (you can see in the picture it's see through) that it doesn't act as a face mask, especially one intended to protect during a pandemic. I have initially purchased this product as a multipurpose neck gaiter that can easily double as face covering during my walks and hikes. But the material is so thin, humidity and droplets would definitely go through easily. Also, for my small female head it's too loose, and would slowly fall during movement. I guess I could fold the material 2-3 times to make it more protective, but it defeats the purpose of having a neck gaiter I can pull quickly up when I pass fellow hikers on narrow trails. Since it's so thin, it's quite breathable, but it provides a low wind resistance and I doubt it provides more sun protection than the fact you are covering your face with a cloth. Otherwise, it's a versatile headpiece. It makes a nice headband, a little bit bulky, but stays put even during runs, keeping my hair put. It makes a good neck gaiter for mildly cold weather; which is great since I live in California and it doesn't get cold enough for a thicker scarf. It's actually the perfect size to make a thin balaclava or hood out of it. The material is comfortable, not rough on the skin, but I wouldn't call it necessarily soft. The seams are low profile, so they won't rub against the skin and aren't visible in a visually unpleasing way. The disadvantage is that the seams won't provide enough grip to stay in place. I have washed and dried this piece of cloth multiple times with my workout clothes, and it doesn't show any signs of wear and tear yet. It didn't shrink in the drier. It doesn't show any signs of pilling yet. In the end it isn't the best value for the money and it's not necessarily what I expected, but in the end I get my use out of this product.
