Wrap Ice Packs for Migraines

Hi everybody,

I just got a note from a migraineur today who was wondering about ice packs that would allow some mobility.  I personally use a wrap around version of the Hot&Cold Therapy ice pack that has been working great for years.  I thought I would share the info I emailed her as the last time I talked about ice packs was several years ago and that post is way down in the archives. 

Hi,

I use this product:

I love the wrap-around quality because I can actually get up and walk around, work at the computer, etc.  It does mess up my hair (darn it), but that's a small price to pay!!  I've been using mine for years and it still works great.  The don't have the "staying power" of a regular ice bag with cubes of ice in it (I still use my ice bag when I'm lying down because it lasts longer), but when I need to be up, the wrap is awesome.

The wrap below is also popular with migraineurs. I don't have this one but it seems to be very similar to the one I use.

Both of these are available at major drugstore chains like Walgreens, Eckerd, Osco/Savon, RiteAid, and others.  I think individual stores carry different brands... so I'm sure you could call and ask them which ones they have if you don't want to purchase online (save shipping costs). There may be price differences too.

Hope this helps.
