Description:

Calling headache and migraine sufferers:

Let's make a small 'feel better/perk-up' package for our fellow sufferers.

I know when I'm in pain, I want to close the curtains and curl up to hide, and when I finally come out of it I need something to perk me up like a nice mug of tea.

Some people have different methods for dealing with the pain, and the different levels of pain. No sharing of medications, please! :) But let's make a caring package for when we're down & out and for when we're finally reviving.

Put in your favourite tea (or other beverage) you want to share with your partner (please take his/her preferences to mind), or herbal sachets for a bath or under the pillow, fun fuzzy socks, an eye mask, maybe even one of those stress dollies that have eyes that pop out (since headaches/migraines are sometimes stress related) or one of those cool old fashioned ice bags.

Put in at least 5 items, but feel free to spoil your partner, in the care package. Items should total $10-15 before sending. Include a little note about the items and let your partner know why you chose them for him/her.

Please list any allergies here or anything that could/would trigger a migraine so your partner can avoid it!

If anyone wants to make it regional to their own countries, feel free to copy and paste and make your own. :) There is an international version up here

No recent unexplained 1 ratings allowed. I will be checking profiles. Make sure and have your profiles filled out. I will make a newbie version of this swap if newbies are interested in participating, just let me know.

I am a newbie that suffers horrible migraines. If you could make another version of this swap that allows newbies, that'd be awsome (:
Although, a flaker on a swap like this would suck, so if you decide not to, I will just wait until I have a few swaps under my belt and ask you to make a new one. Thanks!

I get migraines. The smell of vanilla type products like lotions and candles and soaps triggers them as well as ptchuoli. Stress triggers migraines as well as some other things. The weird thing is that caffeine can both trigger migraines and help them, the trick is to take it in moderation. If you have too much of it or not enough it can cause them but just enough can help them, so black tea, coffee or even chocolate can be good.

I've created a newbie version of the swap here It also has a lower price range in hopes of getting other people involved as well as newbies. :)
