Gabby (Migraine)

A highly likely candidate may well be her diet. For reasons I don't understand, a large fraction of migraines are related to digestion, and I wonder about her recent embrace of a vegetarian diet. I observe that she didn't have these issues in prior years.

Botox. But it can only be prescribed for those with lots of migraines a month and it is not without risk.

If you go to the "box score" thread and then press recap, the writer notes that Gabby has been dealing with migraines all week.

Ok, then she shouldn’t have been playing at all because she was hurting the team by being on the floor.
 
Magnesium chloride baths

Similar to old fashioned Epsom salts (Mg sulfate) but more effective and better absorption. Not a 100% sure-fire"cure" by any means but it can help many folks with chronic migraines. Most of us can use more Mg anyway.

When I worked in a medical institution we also gave Mg supplements for migraines.

Really???? The kid tried to give it a go & turned out she couldn't up to the standards she has set. I give her credit for trying. She didn't hurt the team anymore than anyone else the way the game played out for a while. She's earned the opportunity to give it a go if cleared by the medical staff.
 
One trigger for migraines can be hormonal changes. A definite possibility for a young woman of Gabby's age. For some, birth control pills help. For others (me) they are a trigger!
 
Those boneyarders that opined based on the assumption she was in the doghouse owe her an apology

Damn! I was hoping that her earlier headaches were a one-time thing.

I'm told there are "shots' to relieve those headaches. Mine came when I was in a comfortable environment--stress was not a trigger. I lost quite a few weekends with them. Light, once the headache started, and noise were unbearable.

You’re correct, Geno made a mistake and left her in the game 1 quarter to long . After the first quarter he should have been able to tell the migraine was too much for her to over come. She needs to get better and come back when healthy. A lot o kids get migraines these days because they spend to much time looking at computer screens and cell phones.

I know folks mean well, but if there were an obvious answer to her migraines she would have already done it.
So I highly highly doubt it's triggered by bright lights or an easily discernible food.

As a former suffer, who examined every thing to be read on the subject---chocolate is well reported as a trigger, but not for me. ONCE started, not a trigger, light and the brighter was more and more unbearable. The above was and is given to sufferers; not hearsay or witch doctor promises, from Uconn medical facility, Institute of mental Health in Hartford, FACTS, not supposition--as well as they could provide--When they are bad enough and often enough--straws seem awfully good. But unless you are a sufferer, you may not know.
 
Gabby has looked to me like she has been in pain all season. Very few smiles, even when she's playing well. I suspect that her migraines have persisted all season and she's trying to play through them because her heart is bigger than the state of Nevada.

I'm not saying she shouldn't investigate every avenue. I just think it's pretty ludicrous that folks seems to think that neither she nor her medical staff has been exploring every option ALREADY. If there were an easy answer, they would have found it. So saying "she could get a shot" is, um, kind of insulting.

Anybody at the game see anything to add to why Geno benched Gabby? I saw a terrible pass and some poor defense. But to bench her for the entire 2nd half? Strong.

How can he not start Z after the way she is playing? I suspect Gabby comes off the bench now. Thoughts?

If you revisit The Who should start thread from pre season I brought up an interesting point If Z was as great as advertised and Danger indeed has made that huge leap( as Geno was eluding too) then gabby may sit. Well you saw it here, not so stupid. I do expect gabby starting again. I think Geno was sending her a message. Even if your a senior and playing in the biggest regular season game and we're down double digits he can still sit u! Classic Geno.

JG, catch up with the thread. Gabby was suffering from a severe migraine. That's why she sat.

Just really hope that she gets well. A concussion, then a series of migraines. Really hope she gets better soon. Basketball is secondary. And really hope that it's nothing serious.
