A Headache

I have migraines.  I started having them when I was about 16.  I stopped when I was pregnant with my first child.  Now at 38 and having weaned my last child, I started having them again.  They started in March.  At first it was just one, then another, then five a month.   Now I am the proud owner of an astounding two mingraines a week.  They have taken over my life.


I had one yesterday.  My head feels bruised from the experience.  My brain seems to still ache from the trauma.   I am having them so often that I don't even have sympathy for my own pain any more.  How can I expect sympathy from those around me?  I want to tell myself to just "Buck up and quit complaining."  I want to just crumple onto the floor and cry at the thought of getting hit by another train of a migraine.  I know that there is a maelstrom out there with my name on it, just waiting to catch me and pull me under - back into the pain.

My new medicine helps, but it doesn't take away all of the pain.  It doesn't make it quit hurting.  It really just takes the pain a little further away from me.  I still feel it. Its just futher away, maybe easier to deal with.

I'm still trying to find out what the trigger is.  I am terrified that there isn't one.  I am afraid that I am just going to devovle into a constant state of pain.

Migraines

I happened upon your blog (which is quite enjoyable) and read your post about getting migraines. I had very bad eczema on my finger until I got pregnant with my first----then got it again after my youngest stopped nursing. I finally decided it may be a lack of estrogen. There are plant derived estrogens you can take to replenish those in your body. Estroven is one brand (Kroger or Wal-Mart)
May God bless and heal you!
