Mariah Miller’s headaches began when she was about 11 years old. She’s had them almost daily in the seven years since. She’s learned to cope. She drinks fruit juice and water to avoid dehydration, which she believes could trigger the next headache. She takes off-the-shelf pills containing acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Window shades and sunglasses help. So does meditative breathing. “You lay down and breathe deep to the count of four, and that helps you relax until it goes away,” Miller says.
