I suffer from severe migraines which i have anywhere from 2 to 3 days a week and some last up to 5 days. There is alot of people who dont believe you if they have never experienced them themselves. There is a new medicine out you can get from your doctor called topomax it also helps with your appetite. there is certain weather conditions, foods, everyday things that can trigger these headaches. I have tried about everything imaginable and i have recently been using a herbal cream called prolife and it works really well. within 15 mins the pain starts to go away. you can go to www.arbonne.com for this. its a natural balancing cream. i feel for you and i send my prayers your way to get feeling better.

I've never had a migraine, thank God, but I have worked in hospitals long enough to know that a lot of people just don't believe the pain of a migraine. I just can't figure that out. Quiet, dark rooms and Imitrex are the things I have seen most helpful.

I only have migraines a while after losing some weight. I am not convinced it's a migraine so much as something going on with my hormones. It hurts and really makes me nauseous.

I'd believe it could ruin a life if you didn't have some kind of relief and ability to do restful things on those days.

Yes, try 2 Ibprofen and an allergy pill. It works. Or 2 Migrane Exedrine, if these don't help go see your doctor and he can prescribe you something. Don't suffer when there is medication for that!!

I know you love your husband but if you think just sitting around the house and remaining a prisoner will make him quit accusing you of cheating but it wont. You are isolating and giving in to underhanded tactics swearing on the bible and your child's life that you never cheated on him and nothing is working. The problem is not yours it is his he has made you think that by his actions calling you names and accusing you of being a cheater that you need to fix his insecurity but that is his problem. Every time you give into his insecurity you make it worse, you live with his family members for god sake. Either he has or is cheating or because of his lack of providing for his family for so long he has come to feel worthless and as a result he cant understand why your staying with him either way your marriage is unhealthy now and you need marriage counseling or you need to leave

Treatments vary, work with your doctor to find that solution. As for almost losing your job...If you can have a doctor put into writing that your migraines are a medical condition, you can apply for FMLA. That way you can take time off for your condition and not fear losing your job.

See a doctor and explain about the migraine and your employer's attitude. He should give you something to help the headache and a letter to your employer.

Sometime life is a headache, and sometimes other people are headaches too. I can't help with either of those, but there is hope if your headaches are hormone related...and many of them are. Here's to a headache free week....all varieties...


Migraines
How they relate to hormones

Overview

A migraine is a vascular headache that involves the excessive dilation or contraction of the brain's blood vessels. Common and classic are the two types of migraines. Slowly the common migraine, produces a throbbing pain that may last for two to seventy-two hours. Often centered at the temple or behind one ear, the pain is severe. Alternatively it can begin at the back of the head and spreads to one entire side of the head ( the word "migraine" comes from the Greek hemikrania, which means "half a skull"). Nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and tingling and numbness in the limbs that can last up to eighteen hours usually accompanies a migraine.

A classic migraine is preceded by a set of symptoms referred to as an aura, which can consist of speech disorder, weakness, and disturbances in the senses of vision and/or smell.

Causes of Migraine Headaches

One factor behind higher incidence of migraines in women may be fluctuations in the level of the hormone estrogen. Around the time of menstruation, when there is hormonal imbalance, women typically get migraines. Any number of things can trigger a migraine in a susceptible individual, including allergies, stress, constipation, too much or too little sleep, liver malfunction, emotional changes, sun glare, hormonal changes, flashing lights, lack of exercise, and changes in barometric pressure. Dr. John Lee states that low blood sugar is frequently associated with migraines and studies have shown that blood sugar levels are low during a migraine attack, and the lower the blood sugar level, the more severe the headache. Dental problems may also be a factor.

Smoking can cause an attack because the nicotine and carbon monoxide cigarette smoke, affects the blood vessels – the nicotine constricts them while the carbon monoxide tends to expand them. Foods may also precipitate an attack. Some of the most common offenders are chocolate, citrus fruits, alcohol (especially red wine), and any food that is pickled, cured, aged, fermented, yeasty, or soured.

Natural Progesterone Cream and Migraine Headaches

Transdermal application of topical progesterone immediately at the onset of a headache, has successfully aborted significant numbers of migraines. A suggested amount is up to 1 teaspoon of progesterone cream. This simple and often effective treatment, is worth trying with most female migraine sufferers.

Migraine headaches that occur with regularity in women only at premenstrual times are most likely due to estrogen dominance. Estrogen causes dilation of blood vessels, and thus contributes to the cause(s) of migraines. Dr. John Lee states that one of the many virtues of natural progesterone is that it helps restore normal vascular tone, counteracting the blood vessel dilation that causes the headache. He states that once again, progesterone is safe and treats the cause in a normal, physiologic way. The more dangerous pharmaceutical drugs can be reserved for the rare case that does not respond completely to progesterone.

Menstrual Migraine Linked To Magnesium Deficiency

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) May 17 - Women with menstrual migraine have a high incidence of ionized magnesium deficiency and elevated ionized calcium/ionized magnesium ratio, confirming the hypothesis that ionized magnesium is involved in the development of menstrual migraine, researchers report.

Dr. Burton M. Altura and colleagues, from the State University of New York at Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, prospectively studied 61 women who had menstrual migraine. The researchers measured ionized magnesium, total magnesium, and ionized calcium, and calculated the ionized calcium/ionized magnesium ratio.

During menstrual migraine, 45% of the women had an ionized magnesium deficiency compared with 15% during nonmenstrual migraine and 14% during menstruation without migraine. Between menstruations and during times when there were no headaches, 15% of the women had an ionized magnesium deficiency, the investigators found.
