Migraines, how I hate you!!

What kind of migraines do you get? Ive been getting so many migraines lately I thought I would share what mine are like.

The start of a migraine to me begins with pounding, lots of pressure, and then intense pain. This intense pain limits me to do alot of things ,it feels like my brain is popping out my eyes and ears and do to that I cant get any relief because my head is actually swollen so I cant even lay down on a pillow with out any pain.

Once a migraine begins my only option is to try to ignore it and go on with my day keeping as busy as I can. If I let the migraine win and I relax like I want then the migraine gets to the point that I cant even be around people including my own kids and husband!  I will do anything and everything to keep a migraine away no matter how tired or how incredibly painful it may be!

A full blown migraine to me is painful beyond words! Since surgery the migraines have become a lot less frequent but they are much more painful now then they used to be!! A full blown migraine begins just like the start of one and then blows up into extreme, extreme pain, swelling of the face, its hard to open my eyes, I cant be in any lighted areas, I become physically sick to my stomach, I get hot flashes/cold chills, and  I can NOT stand to be near ANY noises( this includes the dryer, A/C, and dishwasher) also included are my kids and husband. This is why I try to fight the start of a migraine because this can hinder my life and time with my family! :(

I have medicine that I cant take but 3 out of 5 times  its doesnt work so I just pray that today will be my day without a migraine! As of today 8/9/11 I have had a migraine everyday for 4 days from lunch time til I head for bed! Hopefully by the time I hit one year from surgery It will have all gone away!
