Kicking Migraine’s Ass — 3 Comments

  1. Thank you Sue. I had my first migraine at around 11 years of age. My children 6 and 8. My father was a sufferer. In the 70s when I seemed to have a continuous migraine, I was a guinea pig for Migril which was new on the market. It helped. Over the years, the migraine attacks became fewer. A couple of years ago during a particularly stressful period, I started to have problems. When things eased, they disappeared. And now what I believe to be Ocular Migraine has returned. I get the aura but I don’t get, as I used to, the numbness starting in my fingers, crawling up my arm, into my neck and into my chin when it then stops and feeling slowly returns along with a headache to end all headaches.

    This evening was my fourth in seven days the last ones being Saturday, Sunday and then this evening. I had already decided that the Bs are essential because prior to the headache, I was feeling pin pricks in various parts of my body. In fact yesterday in the shower, I thought something had stung me in my big toe. Within minutes I felt the ‘hot pin pricks/stings’ elsewhere and then came the blotted vision, so I knew.

    This is helpful. Many thanks.
