Who else gets migraines both with and without aura?

[Farmer Kitty]

You can have sinus trouble without anymore symptoms than the sinus pressure. Migranes don't cause sinus pressure. Being really tired or weather systems cause mine--like the one I currently have. With a migrane you may or may not have an actual headache either. I get the auras, sensitivity to light and noise, sick to my stomach, etc. The whole works. Sleep helps but, I also have strange and unsettling dreams so it's not always restful.

This is when I get my worst ones, once a month. Sometimes I get an aura of what appears to be water in my peripheral vision, nausea too. No medications I have ever used help, they last 3 days and I just wait them out.

When I get these type headaches I feel like my head is going to explode. Just moving my head hurts and I can't keep anything down. I am not sure how long they would last if left untreated. I have had them start at 1 in the morning and not be any better by the time I got in to see the doctor around 9:00 am. The shot for pain and the nausea meds knock me out and when I finally start waking up I have started to feel better.

I guess my migraines aren't so bad compared to everyone else. I don't have them too often and I don't have nausea with them. Thank goodness! The last one I had was yesterday and I felt it coming on the day before. I can't stand light or movement. When I stand up from sitting or laying down...my head just throbs!!
Luckily I don't need to see a doctor for them yet. For now I can handle them since they don't happen too often.

When I worked for the chirpractors, a man came in that had had migraines for 34 years, after two months of adjustments he hadn't had one in weeks, and came once a month for maintenence. He said you absolutely have no idea what it was like to wake up without a headache in the morning, and completely got off of the major pain pills he was taking. Every single organ in our body is connected to our spine and when they are out of alignment we suffer every kind of pain or "ailment" there is. It might be well worth your time to go and see if he can help you.

Before I had my daughter, I would get migraines 2-3 times a week. Throwing up, sensitivity to light and sound, but no aura. Luckily they were kind enough to come in the evenings, so I could usually be productive during the day.

About 2-3 months into my pregnancy, my migraines started subsiding, and eventually went away completely.

Maybe you should try to get pregnant to stop them

(Yes, I read the post where you no longer have ovaries)

Started getting a headache last night before I went to bed and I knew I should of gotten up and taken 2 excedrin migraines but didn't. Woke up at 6am in excrutiating pain. Finally crawled out of bed about 3:30 this afternoon. A total hormonal headache, uggg....I hope it goes away tonight, gotta take my momma to the doc tomorrow.

I do. I started b-12 vitamins, and they went away, but are comming back again. Im finding out that chocolate is triggering them. The doctor gave me some Frova to try, but that made me flush really bad, and it felt like my face was one fire.

I get migraines and I have 6 kids so that doesn't always work. I have found that Excedrin Migraine pills work if you take 3-4 at one time. But they are full of caffeine so they sometimes make me jittery or I can't sleep. But it's better than throwing up or having your head beat open from the inside!

Yeah no ovaries would be hard enough but turning 54 next month I think I better play with those grandkids then send them home.

. When I was pregnant with my second son I had horrible migraines off and on the entire 9 months. The other two I didn't.

The problem is with these headaches (I am assuming migraines) I have no warning. Wake up in the middle of the night with them. I am sure stress is not helping. Working at some banks right now is more stressful than ever. They only happen about once a year but that is once a year too often.

My normal migraine trigger is dairy products and I stay away from them and usually have them under control.
