Lightning Strikes Again!!

Lightning Striking again!!
Wow, that's powerful!!


Actually it's been awhile since the last thunderstorm and it didn't last that long. But the pain in my head is ongoing.
It feels like I got hit like that tree did in the photo. I thought we were going to get a storm, my head usually tells me by my pain level going up. We had one lightning strike that has made my head and my whole face hurt. The throbbing is awful.
It reminds me as glad as I am to see warmer weather come, that I have to have all my comfort items available for the times when I may just have to hide under a blanket.
It's also a good reminder to enjoy every day that I can when the pain is tolerable.
When I feel better I will make sure my comfort kit is together. My favorite throws, I call them my Linus blankets, my extra water, my little pillows, my eye mask, my Dramamine so I do not get sick, crackers for the same thing. I also keep ginger ale on hand.
Being prepared helps so much, for when you may feel so bad!

Nasel Sprays??
But...I thought it was helping??


I came across this article and thought it was important to post it here. Since spring is upon us and so many of us will be looking for relief, I'm sur alot may turn to nasal sprays.
I wanted to share this on here. We do need to be careful as far as the measures we take for the relief we look for...

Nasal spray may trigger migraine


By Reuters - Mon Mar 2, 12:16 PM PST
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People with hay fever -- more accurately termed allergic rhinitis -- may find themselves with a migraine after they

use a nasal steroid spray to relieve their stuffy noses. included six different drugs: fluticasone, beclomethasone, budesonide, mometasone, flunisolide, and triamcinolone. In 24 cases the intranasal corticosteroid was the only drug used, the researchers report in the medical journal Cephalalgia.

Re-exposure to the intranasal corticosteroid led to a relapse of migraine in eight patients. None of the drugs exceeded the maximum daily recommended dose range in any reported case.

In the 16 reports where time to onset was recorded, migraine developed early in the course of intranasal corticosteroid treatment in 12 cases -- within the first four days.

A connection between allergic rhinitis and migraine has already been established. The new findings suggest that, "in addition, intranasal corticosteroids might cause or worsen migraine or migraine-like headache," Pokladnikova and colleagues conclude.
