Re: Deep breathing?
Magnets...never heard of that one. Sorry it didn't work but at least you gave it a try. Some things sound so crazy but it must have worked for someone somewhere otherwise there would be no market for it. Do you know what the theory was behind it?
Poor kid - hope the pneumonia clears up soon and he starts feeling better.

Re: Deep breathing?
I don't really know if anybody knows why it might help/work - there is quite a bit out there if you google "migraine magnets" but no real good reasons why it might help. I was kind of irked that the neuro started saying things like "try magnets" because when he said it, he was giving us some real "attitude" because what he had prescribed didn't work for my son.
He was a big specialist in migraines, big neuro, and started saying things like "I've never heard of this kind of thing before, etc" when we'd say things like "his migraine starts right out at it's highest pain level intensity" (ie: his migraines don't build in itensity, they start out big right away). And when we'd try his meds, and they didn't help, he'd act almost irritated at us - like it was our fault. But now he won't see patients under 18 yrs old, so we're done with him, which is okay I suppose. I really would prefer a doctor with a good bedside manner if I had a choice.

Re: Deep breathing?
I have read that some people have gotten relief from a migraine by breathing off an oxygen bottle for about 15 minutes. So that would indicate there may be something to the idea of deep breathing that may help abort or prevent a migraine from coming on. I've never tried it myself, not having easy access to O2, but it sounds intriguing . I'd certainly rather get oxygen than take medications with all the extra potential problems that seem to go with them.
