I found this article and wow, do I wish this dr could suffer migraine/migraine attacks/chronic migraine just so he'd know how WRONG he is...
This article saying one size fits all fix for migraine, when migraine is such a complicated disease. How dare he write and believe such an idiotic idea! Migraine is a disrespected, underestimated disease as it is. We don't need this kind of "writing" out there to make it even more so.
This dr needs to learn,study,observe,interview migraine patients. Not lump us up into one pile and say just do this...

Scents in the holiday season

December 8th 2009 18:53

I have to be careful,even in the grocery store with all the stuff out for the holidays. I do wonder why they decide to put potent cinnamon scented pine cones and decorations in the fruit and vegetable section. I have gone to that section and almost got sick from the smell being so strong.
Shopping just for some new decorations, they have all the scented decorations there,too and in a few minutes I am nauseous and my head pain goes up.
I am not crazy about shopping as it is, but dealing with this makes it even harder.

Pain and Aura starts my day

December 2nd 2009 18:42

Wanting to pull my hair out!!

I had been excited over the summer. I was able to get out and go swimming almost every day! Even in the day time. Toward the end of the summer, it was getting harder to do, and the last two weeks the pool was open, I wasn't able to go very much.
As fall hit, my pain level rose. I am now to the point where the pain level is so high almost constantly, it is driving me out of my mind. Right now I have the needles and pins pain all over my head. If it would help, I would shave my head or pull every hair out of my head!
A few hours ago, I had an aura. Before my migraine pain turned into chronic, an aura would give me a chance to take a med that may prevent the pain of a migraine attack. But now, my pain is always there, after the aura,the pain does go up.
I get so tired. The pain is back to waking me up at night or keeping me up at night. Nothing helps.
Now, I am facing the holidays that I was hoping would be the best I had seen in a long,long time. Instead, I dread them. I am mad, sad...all these emotions along with the pain.
Hope is hard to hold onto. Going through life as if nothing is wrong is even harder.

How many must Die to Get Respect for Migraine Disease?

October 21st 2009 20:17

I was looking up news stories about migraine disease and found a story about a woman who was 7 months pregnant who died....was told she had a pinched nerve after going for medical help...even though her mother died of an aneurysm.
Doesn't matter where it was, Canada, the U.S. has the same sad attitude. I'm thinking it's because most migraine sufferers are women and of course women like to "be dramatic" , want attention, aren't tough like men.
This story makes me sick, it worries me as my youngest daughter is pregnant and gets really bad headaches. I will speak to her and her boyfriend about this and most likely her dr. I want them to take it seriously when she goes to the er. She has been once already, in severe pain and recently had problems breathing along with the pain
