My sore brain.....migraine journal

[Seraphim]

I guess it is really lucky I don't own a gun or I would have killed myself 53 billion times by now. I wish I could describe the agony. I really do but it defies words.

[Huntress0527]

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well today. I don't know how you can stay on and type! Migraines are no joke. Feel better!

[Tanzi]

I had another migraine last night that just zonked me out. It was not so much painful like some, but just made me so tired there was no possible way to stay awake.

 

Sometimes they are so different in symptoms and levels of pain and levels of disability.

 

Hey Victoria. Sorry to hear you're not feeling so well today.

 

I suffer from migraines too but not often, not like I once used too, and thankfully they aren't too bad. Probably on the scale you mention above. I can also have "zigzags" in my eyes that affect my vision and I have been known to have had double vision before .... but that hasn't happened in a long time.

 

I hope you feel better soon.

[Seraphim]

Hey Huntress,

 

Yeah sometimes I just need something to concentrate on to ignore the pain or I will go over the deep end. Sometimes I just have to lay down. So I have been laying down off and on.

I hope I feel better too, this is day two and it is driving me mental.

3 day migraine. ugh

[Seraphim]

Dear God, I just puked all over. It makes you feel mildly better for a tiny bit. Some one help me. I am so tired of being sick this week.

[Seraphim]

Dear God please let it be gone. Please please please please.

[Seraphim]

Well I tried to sleep it off but it comes and goes and comes and goes and the minute I have been awake for longer than a few mins it is back. I just feel like stabbing into the back of my neck with a pair of scissors. Three days of this is more than I can bear.

[Seraphim]

Phew that was a nasty migraine. I had one since last night and was in bed since last night. Thank goodness it is gone now.

[Seraphim]

It seems all my migraines now are turning into 3 dayers.

[Seraphim]

My mother has a nasty migraine today and mine started about an hour ago. Sigh.

[Seraphim]

YUp, true to form the migraine has made me vastly irritated and with a penchant to be nasty. Come on L, time for some perspective. You know it is only the chemistry of the migraine and not your personality.

[Seraphim]

Another migraine headed my way.

[Seraphim]

Another migraine. Bleck

[Seraphim]

I swear these migraines are here to drive me nuts. I slept about 14 hours yesterday. It comes and goes and comes and goes and comes and goes from yesterday into today.

[Seraphim]

Migraine again today. Puke

Have you ever tried..Meditation and Yoga of some kind......Try these breathing techniques (they are called Pranayam).....There is a person named 'Baba Ramdev' who has revivied Yoga in India.....You will find a lot of his videos on youtube

- Anulom Vilom

- Kapal bhati

- Bhastrika

- Bharmri (this would definitely help)

Youtube is blocked from where i work...so i can't see if this video is in english or not.....but if its not in english then search with Baba ramdev...migraine...pranayam etc....and you will find these videos......However, it would be better if you can find a trainer who teaches these to you, although the videos are self explannatory and can be followed easily.

 

Also check out this.... secret of Yoga lies in doing it daily....and it can heal just any ailment.

[Seraphim]

^ It is incompatible for me, but I can not say why, it would be against the forum rules. Thank you for the suggestion though.

[rahulrocks]

I understand... Best of luck !

[Seraphim]

I've had a migraine every day for four or five days in a row.

[Seraphim]

I think I am getting migraines because I have a sinus infection and starting to feel really bad. I have a huge weekend though. Figures.

[Seraphim]

Dear God no migraines today I don't have time.

[Seraphim]

I am discovering that ice cream works really well at aborting a migraine. They are working on studies right now as to why that happens. Apparently it causes brain freeze which aborts a migraine.

Victoria, I have a new friend who is our age and says she has had serious, daily headaches for the last 10 months. She sees a neurologist and takes meds but she doesn't like her neurologist or the treatment so I'm asking around to see if there's someone better. Did yours start suddenly too or is this a lifetime thing? I feel so badly for her. She works full time and has 2 youngish children.

I was about 23 when my migraines started. Mine are genetic. My mother has had migraines since she was a toddler ( 3 years old) My son also gets them as well he has had them since he was six years old.

 

Apparently in your 20s it is pretty abnormal to start getting migraines at that point. They usually start in childhood or at puberty.

 

Do they know what kind of headaches she gets and why? I have had my brain CT scanned a few times. They have told me they have seen no abnormality in my brain so my migraines are determined the " idiopathic." Meaning they can't determine a physical reason . But migraines are caused by anomalies in construction of the brain and vascular system. I'm sure if they did a spinal and dye test they would find where my problem is.
