“All I want is blackness. Blackness and silence.” – Sylvia Plath
Can’t believe the Migraine Fairy hit again last night… It’s getting to be a regular occurrence…
Can’t be having this thing disrupting my holidays, or my writing time.
I’ve woken up with a migraine hangover now… that slight dull ache between the eyes, but I can function.
I’m off to the GP today to see if we can get a clue as to why I’m getting them so regularly all of a sudden…
Be gone you damned ache!

Oh, no! Perfect for the one liner, but not for you!! Hope your GP can find you some relief, Ritu.

I used to get migraines too and all I wanted to do was lay in bed with two cold herb pillows, one on my forehead and one behind my neck. I’d wrap my arms around my head and try to squeeze it together. That and some vicodin would usually do the trick. Mine were definitely associated with stress and my menses and they started after my first pregnancy. Fortunately I don’t get them as much anymore (post menopause and less stressful life I guess).

I shan’t wish life away but possibly the next step of changes in hormones could be partially responsible….

Thank you JoAnna . I’m better today thank you.. . Just a little niggle left. The Dr prescribed some migraine relief and an order to come back to see how things were. Since I’m getting them weekly I need to work out my trigger…

I’m so sorry, Ritu. I get them… and I understand. While I’ve found no miracle cure, one thing that sometimes gives me a little relief (if you’re like me, you’ll take any little bit of relief)… I get 2 “sport balls” (slightly smaller than tennis balls, but tennis balls will do), put them in a sock to keep them in place, then put that so that each ball is in one of those 2 hollow spots at the base of your skull — and lay that way for a few minutes. It’s not a cure but…
Hugs.

Feel better, Ritu! We all get them, and my 19 year old is on reg meds now having missed so much of his upper 6th. With us it is related to our connective tissue EDS, but have always found hormones affect me…..several times a week I get the whole aura, with strange smells, numb lips etc…..ask your GP about the nasal spray (sumatriptan) C x

I will do… the last time it was connected to my contraceptive pill so we changed that. It seemed to help but that was around 2 years ago.
I’m limited on what I can take as a PCOS sufferer…

Yes, I know….PCOS has plagued me too, and I was actually taking HRT when I fell pregnant with number 1!! Huge shock…..I couldn’t take the pill because of the migraines in my 20s, and only had periods every 4 or 5 months. The cysts cleared massively though after pregnancies for me. Speak later xxx
