Should have stayed home....

[Laura's Babies]

Awwww! Now that they have "seen" you with a migraine, I am sure they will be glad for you to stay home if you ever get another one like that...

I just can't understand why everybody is getting these migraines so much more than they use to... EVERYBODY has them now. I had a few years (in my younger days) when I had one every now and then, now they are a daily thing for just about everybody.. I want to know WHY? What is causing so many to have these things?

I know so many people suffering from them right now. Yesterday was the worst one in a long time, but its still there. I'm sitting here worrying if the lights will affect me again today.

Work has seen me with too many migraines, and a couple of people make fun of me. They say I claim to have more headaches than I really do. I don't know WHY I would do that. I don't get any sympathy and I don't get to go home sick. Telling people I've got a headache gains nothing.... so why would I tell people I had a headache when I don't???

I go to the allergist again this coming week for the last round of tests. If they come back inconclusive, then I go to the nuerologist.

I'm so sorry. I've had my moments being embarrassed that for sure. My husband gets those kind of headaches and so does my semi-boss.

I know what you mean about people thinking you fake something, my husband was diagnosed with CVS and you don't know when it's going to hit but when it does he's miserable but his work doesn't understand and you would think since he's had his doctor fill out an FMLA that they would understand but they don't. Well good luck with your appts. and I hope they find something to help you.

Man, when I had them we didn't have the meds you have now and they would put me down.. I had to go to bed and cover my head, no lights, no sound and just lay there quiet and still and pray for it to pass. I would eventually end up throwing up and once I threw up, I would start getting better. Mine usually lasted 8 to 12 hours.

Rie has them and they last for days but she never ends up in bed or throws up. She has found a few things that trigger some off them but even knowing what triggers she has and avoid them, she'll still has them. She has been under the care of a nuerologist for a long time.... also, now her son has them and he is only around 20 years old.

I have worked with a lot of guys out on the river that has them.. they are just SO common these days, that's why I question what is going on. Back in the days when I had them, I didn't know anybody else that had them. I didn't do anything to get rid of them, they just stopped all by themselves and I haven't had but one in the years since and that one was caused by a drug I was given for my colonscopy.

Wow, I got tears in my eyes just reading what you went through.
My sister also had a migraine yesterday. I get headaches, but I never know if it's a migraine or not. Lately I've been getting these headaches during the week of my menstrual cycle. Twice I've had to go home and sleep. Unfortunately I can't avoid my monthly cycle, oh but I wish I could!

I hope you do not experience anything like that again. But I'm sure your co-workers will be more careful about jokingly bonking you on the head. Or I hope so anyway.

Thanks guys. I'm officially on Day 2 of Monster Migraine. I left work at 1:30 and slept til 5:30. Apparently, at one point, Cameron was jumping on me. I vaugely remember saying "ouch" but thats it. I must have been out. I woke up feeling better.... until I stood up. Then the whole room began to swim. I have no idea what to do to get rid of this tonight. I can't keep popping Imitrex every few hours. Its apparently not working this time.

My coworkers KNOW I'm sick today because I left work while I had a slew of appointment customers in the store. I rescheduled what I could and everyone was wonderful about it. One coworker asked what to do if more showed up; I told her to sell something to them!

Oh gosh that sounds awful. I hope you're feeling much better now.

Starting day 3 of Monster Migraine. I HAVE to go to work today because I have several appointments scheduled that will push me from last place to first place. No matter what we say to each other, we all care if we're number one!

I've taken so many HOT HOT HOT showers that my skin is wrinkled. And my poor ice pack really hasn't had much time to refreeze before I'm pulling it back out of the freezer. Somehow, the combination of HOT shower and ice pack helps a lot.

We babysat Cameron last night so Ashley could go out with a nice guy (hey, its the first really nice guy!) and Cameron was W-I-L-D. He conked his head against mine several times and insisted the bedroom lights be on. Then he wouldn't sleep until 11:00 and only next to me. So basically, I got the edge of the bed, with Callie on my feet, Cameron's feet in my back, and Allens poopy butt in my face as he sat on my chest (which is his typical spot, so I shouldn't be surprised)
