Migraines

Migraines suck!!! They come on without warning. You can be sitting there, and a aura may happen first, or the pulsing pain through your head like a jackhammer will begin.

My first migraine was as a child, I remember I would bang my head on the foot board for creating more pain, actually lessened the pain. I know that sounds awful, it was not how it sounds. No blood....not over and over like I was going crazy. later in life I understood what that was. As a child I did not have a clue what a migraine was.

My very first on that came later was when I was about 17-18ish. I was working as a dental assistant and my boss had us to his home for a Tony Robbins motivational class (I know). Well his oldest son, I had a huge crush on was there bad boy.....rich kid bad boy. Drugs, car.....parents were oblivious. The bar to the library had OJ, coffee and fruit. I drank some OJ, and was watching the video when all of a sudden I started to see twinkle like stuff and rainbow flashes. I panicked thinking that the "bad boy" had spiked the OJ with some LSD. That would have been something he would of done, and laughed his ass off. So about 15 minutes of panicking - thinking I have been drugged because I am hallucinating. Suddenly-- BANG!!! Throbbing awful fucking pain in my head. I am going to throw up, I am dying. I know it. I always had headaches but not like this. Stoke, aneurysm something, is horribly wrong I have to say something.
Migraine. My boss gave me 2 Fiorenol. Shazamm out like a light on my boss's bed. For hours.......I was so embarrassed, I drooled all over the pristine sham I passed out on.

I went through a period where I got them once or twice a month and had medication to take. Then they slowly just went away.

Well, thanks to hormones or whatever.... they have come back again. Nothing to blame it on yet. But the bitch migraine can suck it!! My head feels like if I could drill into my head, while popping my eyes out at the same time would feel better than the migraine. Not always do I get a aura. The thing that helps is placing ice packs around my head, and the back of my neck, cool eye mask --dark cold room, SILENCE and  SLEEP. To those who cannot relate, you have never had one. You will know when or if you ever have one. May you never have one. They really are maddening. your eyes hurt from light, sound is like a bad hangover sensitive. Any warmth make you want to hurl. I take 800 Motrin, 1000 Tylenol, 50 Benadryl, 10mg of a decongestant followed by strong coffee for the caffeine. This combo make sound extreme, but works. With the ice and all the rest....

Acupuncture......my next stop.
