General Info on Migraines

General Info on Migraines
http://www.livescience.com/16509-migrain...aphic.html

When I found the language article, this was on the front page and as a migraine sufferer, I thought I'd share. I actually didn't get "diagnosed" with migraines until relatively recently and was told I was simply getting sinus headaches and the like. Fortunately my doctor now is a peach. I've got the proper meds and carry them everywhere with me.

It's important to state that the symptoms vary, as well as triggers, and you should get yourself thoroughly checked out and explore your diet and activities. Just as Sae complained in the shoutbox that the pain was so much from her toothache that she was mixing pain meds, I used to do the same hoping to knock out the horrible inevitability of a tightness that turned into a throbbing around my sinus cavities, then would ring around my left eye, then splinter into a spiderweb of pain over my temple and finally melt into heat and agony running down to my neck. If I couldn't get home, I would sit at work sweating and trembling from the effort to hold it together. Only rarely do I suffer from "auras" and my light sensitivity isn't too bad, but sound would become awful.

Sometimes I won't have one for a month or two, and sometimes I have them packed densely within a few weeks. It's worth getting medication for even if you have them only once a year.

There seem to be many environmental factors, as well. It takes a lot of fine tuning in life to truly minimize those things. My ex-wife suffered from them terribly, but with research, good meds, and proper diet and sleep, they diminished greatly.

yeah, that's why I started going back to the gym. It seemed to help fantastically, along with eating more simply and cutting out a few bad habits/cleaning dusty areas more carefully. And I rarely got them in the summers I could actually work outside.
