Nope, thankfully I have never had a migraine.

In Reply to: There may be some correlation between - depression and migraines - sm
I am 41 so I'm thinking that hormones are playing a role. I'm trying to approach this logically. It's the fact that it comes out of nowhere and does NOT last for days and days that is intriguing to me. It's just so foreign to my personality. Since it is so short-lived, I don't know that any antidepressant would be necessary.
Thanks for your input.

Nothing thankfully, but regarding cat
I'm sorry you had to give up your cat. I've often told my husband I'd get rid of him before I would get rid of my cat. LOL.
Well thankfully....
I had my earphones plugged in but not in my ears! I still heard it though really loud! I could feel my heart racing in my chest and felt all shaky...Beware any of you with a heart condition out there!
Thankfully Hayley is gone - complete with her pageantry performances...sm
I'm with you - I actually liked Sanjaya's performance this week and it was the first time I actually liked what he did.
Only my mother. Great books about subject out there thankfully.
// it helped for me to realize she had a personality type and she was not just selfish and uncaring - the combination of things described really helped me to understand her - and avoid her at all costs!
migraine
What about putting a cold compress on her head or back of her neck. Did you try ibuprofen? Alternate that with Tylenol.
It gives me a migraine, but
if it works for you, great! gomdt.com
Sounds like a migraine....
I am not a physician, but I transcribe quite a bit of neurology work that specialize in migraines. I wonder if you should see an ophthalmologist... I hope you feel better, as I know this can be very distracting. I've had floater migraines in the past, but usually the floaters disappear, but then the headache comes. It is usually due to stress. I also purchased an LCD screen. How old is your monitor? The new screen seemed to help tremendously. Also, I had to get glasses due to a stigmatism, that is not unusual, but the glasses helped as well. Good luck to you!!
Sinusitis and migraine
Is there any hope for a person who has both chronic sinusitis (on one side of the head/face) and migraine (on the other)? I have both and get the pains alternating about once a month and nothing seems to work. Using hair color especially seems to exacerbate the sinusitis but how else do I cover up those grays? Staring at the computer all day brings on the migraine once a month, which lasts for 3 days (and nights ). No medication seems to help. Tried them all. Especially once the migraine starts, NOTHING works, have to take something before it does, or I'm sunk, and it has this uncanny habit of creeping on unannounced.
Six-year-old with a migraine (sm)
I need some advice. My six-year-old daughter woke up this morning with a headache and complaints of her stomach hurting. I kept her home from school because she said she was starting to feel worse. I have given her two doses of Children's Tylenol Meltaways, but she says her head still hurts. I'm thinking it might be a migraine headache because she actually wanted the TV turned off (because of the noise)! We just turned it down instead.
Anyone have any advice on how I can help her to feel better? Or does she just have to suffer through this. Don't you just feel so bad when you're little ones are sick? 
Migraine headaches . . sm
I am in menopause and am still getting the headaches, same type, that I got with my menses most months. My sister and mother had the same thing. Does anyone experience the same type headache, and how do you deal with it? I know even before my eyes are open in the morning that I have it, and it can last for one day or as long as several days. The only thing that seems to really relieve it other than a prescription drug, which I have so many adverse side effects with, is caffeine. . lots of caffeine and an extra strength Tylenol, etc. Thank you in advance for sharing. I think I just need some company on this issue today. 
Migraine question....
My son is an hour and a half away at college; I got a call from him a couple of hours ago saying he was feeling nauseated, had numbness in his left hand, and numbness in his cheek with blurring of his vision, etc. Earlier he was playing soccer and head butting the ball............. I have migraines but have never had numbness in my hands or fingers..........he went to the ER and they did a CT but radiologist read it as normal and the nurse practitioner said he was probably having an unusual manifestation of a migraine, wanted to give him Nubain and Phenergan and send him back to his apt. I'm really concerned because he said he was feeling much better, which I have never gotten over a migraine in a couple of hours and I'm wondering why the NP would give him those drugs to knock him out when she herself said they could not rule out a head injury............I told him I would feel better if he did NOT take those drugs but stayed with a friend up there tonight.
Would I be wrong in thinking this way? I'm concerned he does have a head injury from butting the soccer ball with his head, which is way too common with soccer players anyway....
Yes, I could take Imitrex after a migraine had already started. (sm)
That was the beauty of it, (at least for me - everyone is different). The other thing that was nice about Imitrex was that I could still remain active while it was working... didn't have to go lie down in a dark cave, or anything. I've been able to abort many, nearly full-blown migraines while continuing to drive, ski in bright sunlight, hike, watch a concert, etc.
I was fortunate and had no side-effects from Imitrex at all. (Actually, I don't have side-effects with my SSRI, either.)
It did take a while to work, usually 50-90 min. in the beginning (still, that beats 3 days in bed!) As time went by, it seemed to work faster - sometimes in as little as 20 min. But maybe the differences in headache strength, duration, circumstances, etc. caused the variations. Fiorinal used to work, but gradually lost it's effectiveness. Also it's a narcotic, isn't it? Anyway, it spaced me out a little bit (who cares, if it gets rid of the pain!), and it was hard to get sometimes, especially if the frequency of use started to go up.
The nice thing about finding a drug that helps is that oddly, JUST KNOWING that I had a tablet with me, no matter where I went or what I was doing, actually seemed to cut down on my fear and anxiety about the migraines, and I actually had fewer of them as long as I had my Imitrex with me! There are other, similar drugs now - Zomig is one I can think of (though it doesn't work as well for me.) Even some you spray up your nose. So if one doesn't work, it's worth it to try others.
One thing about taking the Sudafed & Excedrin at the first sign of a migraine, was that if after about an hour, if it still wasn't better and I felt I needed to take Imitrex, the Imitrex seemed to work better and faster. Sort of like it had been "jump-started" by the earlier use of Sudafed & Excedrin. Of course, I also drank a lot of milk or ate some food with it, to keep my tummy happy.
I hear you on missing 3 days of work. I had problems at one job because my headaches always seemed to come on a Monday, and that obviously looked a little fishy. At the time I had no meds that worked. I got my doctor to write me a letter saying he was working on the problem. He also mentioned that the migraines could be rated as a true disability, and if so, the employer had to take all reasonable steps to accommodate that disability. (Which they eventually did).
I think I, too had a hormonal thing contributing to them, because after my hysterectomy they tapered off a bit.
I agree with you about the fear-psychosis thing... I swear that sometimes I could bring on a migraine simply by TALKING about them with someone! But again, having that little magic trick up my sleeve (i.e., Imitrex) made the fear go away.
Could it be some sort of abdominal migraine?
nope....LOL

I mean grants. Found a local one. Thanks!
nope
No, just saw my regular doctor a long time back who prescribed one of the ergotamine drugs and I had a bad reaction to it, got extremely cold hands and feet and nearly passed out and thought I was going to die. I could neither lie down nor sit up and got breathless and didn't know if it was serious enough to rush for medical help. Luckily it passed after about an hour, and I never tried it again. The worst part is trying to sleep all through the night for 3 nights with the pain which keeps waking me up. I am not sure if I should visit an ENT doctor or a neurologist or both, seeing how I get two types of headaches every month, one on each side. Am seriously thinking of stopping at least the hair color use so the sinusitis will subside, but the migraine?
nope. not in the least. sm
I have opened my umbrella in the house quite a bit and nothing bad ever happens. I had a black cat too for 13 years and she passed on, but she was a good companion. Life is life and these things are not going to bring you bad luck, good luck, or anything else for that matter. life is too short.
Nope.
I can't imagine not having my siblings and wanted my kids to have the same.
Nope, not just you
It's getting flat out ridiculous. So sad, I've loved Y&R for as long as I can remember. 
Nope - NC!
It's a hot weekend, may as well shop when not working, LOL.
Nope really can't
But, I maybe able to get away with not having to put dd in daycare so that would $250 a month I would not have to worry about. I don't really know but if I can pay less on family insurance that might be a plus.
There was a job opening at a manufacturing warehouse to work in the collections department for $11.50 an hour. I passed that up because it would have been a little bit of a paycut...... but then again, maybe not because for family health insurance I would not have to pay a dime, company covers all. That would be $145 a month that would not be going out. Plus they get retirement, company stock.
I live in a small town. Our hospital is going to VR. They have not said anything about cutting back on employees yet but if they do, I am sure they will keep the better producers..I just thought this was an opportunity to bow out gracefully. I am feeling better than I did yesterday when I first posted.
NOPE. That's what THEIR med. ins. is for! - sm
And if the kid had a recently-operated-on finger, why wasn't it bandaged/casted, etc. At least that would've alerted you and others who know the child that she needed to take it easy.
Nope
Did none of what you listed...mostly just asked around, mentioned the name, and bam...info abounds! Sorta like Google ya know, but in a more personal fashion...
nope
As Dorothy said at the end of Wizard of Oz, "Next time I go looking for my heart's desire I won't look any further than my own backyard."
Nope...not twice...sm
Adultery is just the ultimate betrayal. I mean I know some people make mistakes but that is very painful. Forgiving once would be hard enough but twice no. And besides seems to me it is like saying ok go ahead and cheat on me and I will just forgive you later.
Nope, not me
I'm just little ol me. I've worked for the same company for 3 years and love my job so I wouldn't be able to give any information (useful or not useful) to anyone. Also for new MT questions...I leave that for the QA or more experienced MTs to answer.
I do try to stay positive. In fact one time my SIL told me that my attitude on life is way too positive and wondered if I ever get mad. :-)
Nope
Look at this way, if the patient is terminal and the meds "might" help, you could spend the time you have left chasing the dream of a cure. I would rather spend the time with my family rather than chasing something that "might" help me.
nope, i don't buy it.
I am only 5Ƈ" and could conceivably fall in, but i could also get out, unless someone was sitting on the lid...
Um, nope, I'm not saying that.
That would be a New Age thing, or Kaballah, or some other politically correct type of spirituality. Christians might say the Holy Spirit lives in someone who is saved, but that's not the same thing AT ALL.
Nope...nm

Nope, already there
Does no good to worry- just think what the other alternative is. I really enjoy these "golden years." Just think, this year after reaching 66, my property taxes come down from over 2500.00 to 800.00- I am able to work and still get social security which makes my income twice of what it is before drawing, i get reduced prices in stores, movies, theater and the like, restaurants. I have only 2 slight medical problems, both controlled with medication once a day, basically money situation so much better than when raising a family, do what I like when I like. A wonderful time for me.
Nope...sm
My husband doesn't hit me and never has. That just isn't his nature. It infuriates him for a man to hit a woman. I couldn't take someone hitting me when they got ticked off at me.
NOPE
The boy is 13 and he could probably make his own mind whether or not he wants this. What if he said for his own beliefs that he doesn't want it. What makes the courts decide in a persons personal health decision anyway. I WOULD get my patient chemo. IN FACT they already went 1 dose of it themselves. Government stay out away from out families!!!
Nope, not even in traffic.
:P
No hot dogs either! Nope.

Nope ~ used to have a cat named Sam...
now have 2 cats, Lucky and Tripp, and a shetland sheepdog, Casey, which was on my list of baby names, but DH didn't like it.
haha.. nope. they don't but they may
during teenage years! LOL. TOO FUNNY!
Nope - missed that.
Sorry.
Nope. It is not your business to tell them.
Nope - Upstate NY nm

Nope, not in the midwest
NM
nope - I don't agree.............sm
if a person wants it bad enough, they'll make it work out on their own - the OP is not alone - maybe she just needs to know she is not alone and that others are or have been in similar situations.
I'd like to see the OP change her life though.......eventually...it's in her best interests and those of her children.
Nope, don't see any with a slinky.
Somebody with a camera and a bird feeder ought to put a slinky on it and film a squirrel attack.
Nope, family are going to do what they want
He did right by letting it go. If he had wanted to take a stand on it, he could have sent his own flowers and signed them the way he wanted. His brother was being a bit of a jerk by not respecting him, but it wouldn't have been the right time for your friend to dig in and insist.
I think a lot of people feel, consciously or not, that you shouldn't change your own name, that it's somehow disrespecting your parents who gave you that name, and they just won't cooperate. I think all he can do is just keep signing with the name he wants to use and quit answering when they call him the wrong name in person.
Nope, that's her chair only.
Wonder where the snowmen came from? Must have been a chain store that sold them. This one was in central Indiana...
Nope, just glasses
Nope, just glasses. Guess one day I'll have to break down and go to the doc (been 6 years since last visit).
nope, my hubby has one
x
Nope, he would not be kicked out because
I have a kitty that I have written on before, she is a mess. I have had to kittyproof my entire home. She is a streak of gray running through the house, leaping on counters, chairs, dining room table, has broken objects (now I have most put up out of the way). I have done everything and will continue to try what people tell me in order to get her past this kitten stage. I know she will probably outgrow and if I had an animal like yours, would never just turn out- would be trying to find ways to help the cat. Have you checked with your veterinarian to see about medicine for the seizures or is that too much for you to handle? The animal makes a mess because of an illness you are saying, not just trying to do something wrong. I have more compassion in my heart than to just call it a loser.
Nope, not superstitious at all
I even have a black cat. I have a friend who's freaked out by the number 666. We when bowl (in our league) if one team comes up with a total of 666, and crosses herself and generally freaks out until the numbers change.
