Rough Week

It’s been a really rough week. I’ve been battling a serious cluster migraine since Saturday. I’ve been waking up with it in the middle of the night. Then in the morning take a migraine pill and by noon it’s gone. So then I go about my usual day feeling somewhat off but at least my head isn’t splitting in two. I played basketball last night and was all thumbs because I just didn’t feel great, then sure enough woke up in the night again last night with the damn migraine again. I don’t get cluster migraine’s very often, on average twice a year. I do get hormonal migraines regularly (yeah, read the clues there, lol). But cluster migraine’s are a different breed altogether. I find them to be barometric related and they last between 3-5 days. I’m hoping that today is the last of it. I’m tired, drained and not getting enough work done. I’ve even gone to bed before midnight several nights this week in an attempt to fix this, to no avail.

I’ve been getting migraine’s since I was 13. My father and several people on my dad’s side of the family get them. I’m fairly certain Alec has had one already. I can usually control my hormonal migraines by eliminating caffeine from my diet, staying on top of my weight, getting regular sleep and drinking lots of water. Not so with these cluster migraines.

So, hopefully I’ll be feeling more with it soon as there are things to post about, but it’s just not in me yet.

    I, too, suffer from migraines - have since I was a kid. Mine are normally brought on from stress, fatigue (lack of sleep) and lack of food (skipping meals). I rely on Advil GelCaps to treat mine and, if I take them at the onset of the migraine, can usually get rid of them in short order. But I’ve had some last for days and the worst of them have left me bed-ridden, wishing that my head would just explode and get it over with. I haven’t had any big ones for months but sometimes still get the little, nagging ones that aren’t too painful but just seem to linger and drag on for days. They’re not incapacitating like the big ones, but they are pretty bloody annoying! Have you ever seen the commercial where the girl uses her remote to shut off the stereo, the TV, the lights and then the entire city around her? That’s how migraines make me feel…

    Yeah, that commercial covers it. I’ll get one too if I skip meals and sometimes if I over sleep too (although I haven’t had the opportunity to oversleep since having kids, lol) and even sometimes too much sun. I’ve tried the advil gelcaps and they don’t do anything for me unfortunately. If I don’t have work to do or the kids aren’t here, I can take a couple of tylenol and a gravol and go to bed and that will often do the trick too. But I don’t always have the option of going to bed. Dunno Dan, your life is starting to sound wayyyy too much like mine, lol.
