I'm wondering if I get migranes, like my aunt. Her migranes get so bad that she can't see or drive, and she has special medication.
I am not going to comment on what happened with your mom b/c I don't know you well enough and I think whatever I say won't be of any help or benefit to you...... but I will say that I strongly suggest that if you are not already you and your Mom or just you or just your mom needs to be talking with a therapist.
But what I quoted above is what caught my attention.
You really need to get to a Dr. if your mom won't take you have your Dad. Coming from someone who was addicted - yes addicted to excedrin for probably 10-12 years. Too much aspirin or Tylenol is extremely hard on your body. Aspirin is a blood thinner. When I was taking it so often a simple cut would bleed and bleed. I eventually just weaned myself off of it, but every morning as soon as I would get up I would go straight to the cupboard and take an aspirin. It got so that if I didn't take one I would get a headache. I would obsess about it until I worked into one.
I outgrew my headaches for awhile. I first started getting them when I was 9 years old, we tried Chiropracters, orthodontist treatments, and Eye Drs. I got adjustments, braces/retainers, and glasses then contacts. Now they have come back with a vengence.It wasn't until I was 27- 28 (this past year) when I finally sought help from my family doctor. And I finally have some sort of handle on them.
