Yes, I just suffered thru a mere 3 day one. When the wind picks up and kicks the dust in the air my sinuses go mad. The red wine the night before didnt help. (usually ok, but with the wind it just rocked me) Then its ice packs and pain pills trying to fight it off. Eventually its submitting to the pain and finding the darkest room in the house, more ice and praying it doesnt last more than a few days.
What a horrible existance when we pray our pain only lasts "a few days!"
I hear ya Minxy. In my case, my migraines have evolved into chronic status, going into the complex/TIA/stroke realm. I'm quite thrilled when I have two days a month when I'm feeling no fogginess or pain. It's like a death sentence has been commuted for those days.
Today is one of those days. Woot!
I went for months like that. My vision was of course out the window as things flashed before my eyes and everything moved around on its own. Vomitting was something I prayed for because the 3 seconds of relief afterwards was worth the build up of pressure just before. When my speech was totally jumbled, and I was using words like "car" in place of "baby" and new full well I had used the wrong words, tried again, and used wrong words again, I really got scared. They said it sounded like a stroke, but showed nothing of the sort on testing. When they told me the speech thing was just part of a certain type of migrane I about crapped my pants. Knowing I would, as my mother has, live with migranes my whole life, the fear of the pain, vision and now speech was too much.
For months (during an exceptionally stressful time in my life) I spent days on end in my dark (windows blanketed) room opening my eyes only to find my way to the bathroom (with sunglasses on). The whole time wondering what I could have done in my past life to deserve such torture. I was so glad I went almost 6 months recently and then the last one only lasted 3 days. But yesterday the wind picked up, the ears began to hurt, sinuses built up pressure and now Im just waiting. I know its coming and I pray it only last 3 days. And pref on the weekend because getting up at 6 and getting my grumpy daughter ready for school and the hell of driving with the sun in my eyes brings on an urge to shoot myself. Luckily Im not completely insane or I would have.
My question... Am I the only one who can scream during a headache? My completely insensitive EXhusband, who has had maybe 3(what I call minor) headaches in his life would argue with me when I had a headache. I would try to explain that it hurt and to please just keep his voice down and discuss it later. Finally I would scream at him to SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME THE **** ALONE BEFORE I COMPLETELY LOST MY F'ING MIND AND HURT HIM. He would then grin and say, how can you scream if you have a migrane. I swear it was as if he was trying to prove I was faking or something. I tried to explain that it wasn't half as bad as listening to him and if it made him shut up it was worth it. Like I said, EX husband. So, anyways, am I insane? Am I the only person who can scream during it?
