I'm thankful that they're a little more infrequent than they were when I had a passel of wee ones. Truthfully I am rather looking forward to menopause. I am told they should likely disappear altogether then. I really hope and pray that's true. Until then, I know I have a wonderful group of you ladies praying for me and thinking of me.<br /><br />Blessings!<br />DeborahThe dB familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-1138532294934665902013-03-17T15:03:57.551-04:002013-03-17T15:03:57.551-04:00Kerrie, you are right, I have looked at all of the...Kerrie, you are right, I have looked at all of these as triggers to no avail. I've even had an MRI to rule out other factors. The only real trigger seems to be life and possibly a combination of not drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, and being too busy all combined. I have never checked the neck out of alignment though. Hmm, that could be worth a try. I've also thought of getting weekly/monthly massages in the hope that I will be more relaxed. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts!<br /><br />Blessings!<br />DeborahThe dB familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-29842172224510830072013-03-15T16:49:00.957-04:002013-03-15T16:49:00.957-04:00Oh, that does not sound fun!!!

There are some advantages of aging, but I suppose you have to wait a while yet. How you manage all those kids, even without a headache, amazes me, but to do it with a migraine.....you are nothing short of amazing!Yabuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450215380644729572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-41478329405843114992013-03-14T18:04:55.523-04:002013-03-14T18:04:55.523-04:00Deborah,

I am praying for you, and that the Holy Spirit wil bring you to my mind throughout the day so I can continue to lift you up.

I have gone through them too... the whole program just like you, but not as long, not as frequent. I went to the emergency room once. I was so thankful for it, oh my goodness you feel so thankful to just feel better. I have a good Chiropractor now, He even lives close by. In times past when I was really bad we would call him and he would say... bring her over. He has helped tremendously. I haven't had any serious ones since I started going to him. I have found the same things that Kerrie (above comment) said to be true for me as well. I know they can all be triggered differently. I also find that when I am working intently on something (particularly lengthy computer work, my neck and base of my skull begins to tense up without me realizing it... then comes the beginning of migraine... I am learning to keep myself in check in that department too, and that helps. I will be praying for you... I just feel for you; especially when you have little ones to care for... love the dog's comfort, that's very sweet.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962395509313703071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-19562258287866658022013-03-14T02:55:11.787-04:002013-03-14T02:55:11.787-04:00I am sure you've tried a lot of things for you...I am sure you've tried a lot of things for your migraines but I am going to list a few things that I know trigger mine in the hope that one might be something you've not yet tried. # eye strain (get your eyes checked) # jaw tension (learn to relax the jaw) # neck out of alignment (see a chiropractor or a physio for a proper massage) # stress # water intake # food reaction (usually caffiene either not enough or too much) # hormonal changes # allergic reaction to food/pollen # sinus issues.

I'm so sorry. My mother suffered from migraines until menopause. So, there's hope! It's funny, migraines were so much a part of her (and our life) and I had completely forgotten about them, as I said, "there's hope!" So, we pray for immediate and miraculous healing first and early menopause second. ;) In all seriousness, I am praying for you.<br /><br />Blessings, Debbieno spring chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772761727295689298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-31187306492827932862013-03-13T23:07:38.841-04:002013-03-13T23:07:38.841-04:00Yikes.

I've suffered from headaches my whole life, and migraines not quite as bad as yours but pretty bad. You know what is weird? I have not had a bad/nauseous/want to die sort of headache since we moved almost two years ago. I've still had the regular headaches but none that sent me to bed sick. Isn't that strange? I'm not sure what to make of it.Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-70632944603254777112013-03-13T21:42:22.318-04:002013-03-13T21:42:22.318-04:00Oh, Deborah, I'm so sorry!

One of my SILs has been helped by getting shots of Botox, of all things. I hope you can find something that will give you longer term relief. I'm glad you have such a great husband and a great emergency room!<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-25195133550699622692013-03-13T18:29:20.798-04:002013-03-13T18:29:20.798-04:00Oh sweet friend, I love how you can find blessing ...Oh sweet friend, I love how you can find blessing amidst the pounding!

He does medicine and he takes lots of excederin PM, but it never really works. We call them his mini comas because he literally will not get out of beds for days. It is so hard to watch.<br /><br />Through moaning, vomiting, and rubbing - NOTHING seems to bring relief long or fast enough.<br /><br />I'll be praying you can find routine again and that those little things to keep you healthier will work. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />~MichlynMichlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733034144797526387noreply@blogger.com
