I had a migraine yesterday that would not go so I went to bed pretty early. All better today.

Another migraine, lovely. Must be the storm and impeding female issue.

Exactly!! Mine if I can get my neck and shoulder blade rubbed will go away.Emotional stress will do it to me every time. I get one guaranteed. Weather does it to me too. My mother took Fiorinal about 37 years ago but they took her off them, I do not know why. You are right it does feel like a spike was driven through your head and repeatedly yanked on till it comes out and slammed back into your head for hours on end and sometimes days on end. So not fun. They have given me demerol,morphine, most of the heavy hitter pain stoppers to no avail when it is a super bad attack. Basically I just need to be put out to sleep those off.

Yes, there is a genetic link for migraines. They say if you have one parent with them the chances of having children with migraines is pretty high, if you have two parents like my son does then it is pretty much guaranteed. I also get an aura like you do. Usually too I will loose feeling in the left side of my face because all mine are left sided. I sometimes loose sight in my left eye and sound and smell senses are sooooooo exagerated it is crazy. Lucky with an aura I know it is coming so I can try and prevent the full attack. My dr recommends sleep to stop the attack. I have tried medications like Maxalt and such but they have risks for causing heart troubles. My dad's family is full of people with heart troubles and I already have a very abnormally fast hear rate, like my mother's, it is about 120 at rest. So I try and avoid medications. I can not take any opiates at all because I was an opiate addict so those are a no no.

And yet another migraine heading my way. I really have to keep up with my magnesium because everything is flaring up. My old whiplash is aggravating me so bad it is crazy, my knee has inflammation again and my one foot swells ALL the time. It is the one I broke twice. I better take it now with a tylenol and advil combo. In combo they are better for treating migraines or in alternating dosage.

Hi Katy No, I have not seen a neurologist. I have not really seen anyone any capacity about them for more than 23 years. I just deal with the pain.WOw, I am so sorry you have had such pain. I have been hospitalized before too and so has my son and my mother. My mother uses an anti depressant as well as a prevenitive medication. I have heard they also use anti epilepsy medications as migraines are distantly related to epilepsy. Thank you for your post Katy

Another impending migraine, nice.

The heat has been getting to me. Yet another migraine.

Yeah, I have know for years the weather affects mine.

Had a REALLY odd migraine yesterday. It started as a pressure vice over the top of my entire head and made me so dizzy I almost passed out. I thought I was hungry so I ate but nope it was not that. Then it progressed as a regular migraine. A nap of a few hours cured it though thankfully.I did not sleep well the night before so that did not help. And then having a nap yesterday made it almost impossible for me to sleep till almost 3 last night.

No, I can't have more kids. I just had my 4th miscarriage 3 weeks ago. I had a miscarriage 4 years ago at 16 weeks. My uterus is too damaged by tumours to have another baby.

Hey my baby, we went to see you at the cemetery when we were home a few weeks ago. Kisses, hugs and cuddles. Love mom.

Well I have not written here for a while. I have had many migraines since. Today in fact it has been just on the verge for hours now. SO annoying. My mother has one too, must be a weather system on the move.

They are for sure Sherry, my 4 angels. There is this book and it is entitled....We were going to have a baby but we had an angel instead. I might buy it. The other book is called Angels in the Water...and it is a discussion between a pre born baby and it's angel. They talk about "Mother" and the baby thinks "mother" is a place and the angel explains that mother is far more than a place.

Hello baby boy, look after your new little brother or sister who has come to join you. You are all loved. Love Mommy.

Thank you so much!! That I am sure will help us to see this as a blessing day and not a sad one. For really, my baby is not sad so I should not be either.

Well little man at Mass today your big brother lit a candle for you. We have decided to start a new tradition where on the day you died we will celebrate your life in heaven on this day and we will light your funeral candle so you can join us for the meals on your special day. Your nana called to remember you and your dad remembered you this morning and your brother and I remember you regularly.

I love you my baby. Big hugs and kisses from mommy and your brother.

It is hard to remember how shell shocked I was after you died. I mean it literally, for about an entire week all I could see when I was awake was flashbacks of your poor little body. Your tiny weenie hand with the perfect fingers,relaxed palm up. Your long long legs also relaxed in death. How you had your father's nose. How you had your brother's hands. How you were you. When I was awake I mostly cried. I realized 2 days later I was still in my blood stained clothes and my hands still had my blood on them. How messed up do you have to be that that does not register? How did I not notice for 2 days? When I did clean myself up and have a shower and look in the mirror my eyes were so puffy they looked like something an alien would have and the skin was peeling and starting to bleed I guess from all my crying when I was actually awake. I remember walking to the car from the hospital. Yes, walk to the car. I had to use my own steam to get there, barely noticing the stares of people because I was covered in blood and my hair was uncombed and the look on my face and in my eyes was mindlessly vacant. Like this shell was walking but I was not there. I was with you. Liam Gabriel Norman~ B May 22,2007~ D May 22 2007

Thanks Sherry.

Thank you Firiel, that is the greatest compliment I could ever get.

The other thing that I think of that is really odd is that,yes, I have given birth to 2 children, I just do not have one of them. It felt like regular labour in every sense. It hurt the same, I had contractions the same,my water broke the same...you were dead though.

Sometimes it is so amazing to think how long it took you to be delivered. It took I guess over 5 hours to deliver a 16 week fetus. You would not think it would take that long. And i SO much different to do it in the ER not in the Delivery Ward. In the ER no one cares. They just leave you alone. They look at you with pity. They really do nothing to help you though. I never really thought about that before and it is shocking to think about. You were born with mom and dad and nana in the room. Then the nurse took your little body away after we saw you.
