As most of you know, migraines tend to come with sensitivities to such things as sound, light, scents, and plenty of other various things. These sensitivities vary from person to person enormously. For me I tend to not get the sound and light sensitivities till very late in my migraines. Because of this I’ve found that music, of certain kinds, can be very useful in mitigating migraine pain.

As I sit here with a migraine very high on the pain scale, a bit of nausea, and loss of appetite, the thing keeping me out of the ER is a genre a great friend introduced me too. The genre is Japanese smooth Jazz, and includes such artists as Nujabes, Tsunenori, and DJ Okawari. It’s an extremely relaxing genre of music that flows well and keeps my mind away from thinking about the pain too much. Below are two of my current favourite relaxing songs.

DJ Okawari – Kaleidoscope – A cup of Coffee



Blazo – Colors Of Jazz – Smokey Grey



I mentioned on a recent reddit post that I wanted to talk more about the specifics of my migraines in a future post. I think that will have to wait till next time as this migraine is pretty bad, and just getting this much of a post together was tolling. For now, I must go work on homework, which will prove to be oven more tolling I’m sure.
