Couldn't hurt to ask the doc about it if you're having them frequently. Thanks, I hope you're not going to too much trouble on my account, Rudi, but I really was getting into your story. Keep my posted on the migraines, luv, you have my sympathy.

 I can't sleep through mine, though. Do you get them often? Have you any medication for them? I have mine in spurts it seems. My poor doctor has changed meds on me twice but nothing really does the whole trick. Still, any relief is good! Hope you feel better! The aftereffects of migraine are nasty for me, too. Like a hangover and twice as foggy feeling!  Cloudy ------------------  Raindancer of the Laughing Hyenas Clan Storm-Queen StormCloud of the Black Knight Heart Mind Soul Forever |

RudeDawg,
Just read throught the thread...my doc has me on butalbital now. You take it with the migraine, not regularly so not likely to addict to it. It's mainly for opening restricted blood vessels - has caffeine in it too. For me, it helps enough that I can function if the migraine lasts more than one day (I can have them from a day to three days...sigh). Do ask about them with a doctor. They can give you a list of possible triggers and that sure has helped me! But...sigh...red wine is on that list...LOL...oh well, I prefer white, anyway!

Hey, Clouds...
I'm so used to them, I would freak if they stopped... I've had them since I was five, they are part of the neurological probs that affected me as a kid. I've been on and through meds a-plenty. I also try using "alternate" methods, such as herbal remedies, hot baths, food-control, meditation. Staying busy on this forum with all the friendly peeps I've met... Every bit helps.  ------------------   The RudeDawg Known in these Forgotten Realms as Perin LightEyes and my girlfriends, Pamila and Pfil |

No trouble about the story, I'm working on it anyway. I'm using it to clear my head as I work on my "serious" story. It's a lot more fun to work on than the other. Colored Lenses is very introspective, as tends to bring up a lot of feelings for me. It's encouraging to see that you enjoy The Forging.

Nothing like a migraine to ruin the day, huh? I'm literally in tears with mine. Can't lie down or even lean back and light is a killer. DRUGS, give me drugs! That's about all I think, other than how much pain the human body is capable of absorbing and staying conscious...sigh....

Accupuncture does help for me, but I don't have anyone here who I trust with it yet.
Like I said, I'm used to them. I get the tunnel-vision a few hours beforehand, and prepare... Dark, cold room. Ice water. take some muscle-relaxing herbs, and I try to sleep through it.... When i wake up, I caffeine up and try to keep things quiet, dark, and cold... An American president (can't remember which) used to call his the "Black Dog" and would stay in the dark room for days... UGH ( I used to try getting drunk to avoid the pain. Doesn't help) ------------------ The RudeDawg Known in these Forgotten Realms as Perin LightEyes and my girlfriends, Pamila and Pfil |
