Yep. I very rarely get them yet have had 2 in the last month.
Because I get them so rarely I don't recognise them until I start feeling sick and my eyes are hurting, by which point it feels like someone is trying to dig their way out of my head via my eyeballs!!! Ended up falling asleep with my head under the pillow and my mum made me take some paracetamol
-
Do you know what the trigger is? Are you keeping a note of them?
-
Not a clue! Don't bother keeping a track of them as they don't happen often. I've had maybe 7 in the last 10 years. My mum has frequent migraines and my brother and sister both have them so it could be a genetic thing.
-
Even if it is genetic, there can still be triggers. Has there been anything unusual or different over the last 24 hours?
-
-
More stress? A certain fragrance? Something you've eaten or drunk?
How are you feeling this morning?
-
More stress as I've had my assignment due in but it's never caused a migraine in the past and I've got miles more stressed about previous assignments. Never noticed food or drink as a trigger, I know food triggers my mums though. Not noticed different fragrances triggering me either.
I'm ok, a bit meh and wooly headed but I can plod.
-
Plodding is fine. Try keeping a diary? Totm?
-
That was last week. A possibility I suppose but not the cause of the last one as that was my first TOTM since January...
-
-
No, neither has the nausea. I've taken some painkillers though and have rested all day.
-
Have you been able to rest?
-
I've rested most of the day. Actually not worn my glasses most of the day either and kept my room dark
-
Have you taken anything for it?
-
I took painkillers earlier. A good nights sleep should help
-
I hope today will be so much better for you (bear)
-
Yes, I hope you feel better today. It's something I've never experienced, but one of our helpers at the OAP club has them. Her triggers are anything cheese or chocolate related. They must be horrible. Feel for you.(bear)

-
Better, only slightly headachey today but I will take some paracetamol when I take my meds. Got a wash on and will probably just be doing that today.
-
Did you take the paracetamol?
-
I did. I want rid of the headache.
-
Has it shifted at all? Are you drinking enough?
-
It's shifted a little. A shower has helped too
-
Good. Does that mean you are going to listen to your body and pace?
-
-
I thought I'd got away with answering that...
-
So, are you drinking enough?!(giggle)
-
-
I don’t want to sound like Suzi but I probably will! That won’t help your headache Jaq, you need fluids. Please try and have some more.

My auntie (well, not really my auntie, she was my nana's best friend since my dad was 13 and we just got brought up calling her that) has died. We only found out today as my dads cousin saw it in the paper yet she died 3 weeks ago. My mum often rang her, always sent cards at Christmas and her birthday, she went to Scarlett's first birthday, so they were still in touch yet no one bothered letting them know. That's made me angry for my parents.
-
my condolences to you and your family. I can understand why that would make you angry. I know that its not easy letting everybody know. But this is close enough in the circle that they should have been told.
-
Oh I'm sorry love... I can understand the anger. Do you know why they weren't told?
-
No idea. All they had to do was look in her address book or check her phone and they could have let them know.
She's been in my life since I was born, her daughter used to look after me, she was killed when she was 16 and I still have the lion she bought me. Her and my nana were always in and out of each others houses for as long as I can remember, she was always there. My dad has known her since he was 13 and he's now 64, a lot of the time she signed his birthday cards "Auntie Jean". It's rubbish. The funeral is on Wednesday and I don't know if I want to go...
-
My condolences and do as your heart tells you, if you feel that you'll have later regrets, go to her funeral.
-
Oh sweetheart, I’m so sorry for your loss. As for the funeral, I understand you’re angry and it would make it difficult to be there but this is your last chance to say goodbye to her - you might regret not going later on
-
I’m sorry for your loss Jaq. Give yourself a little time before you decide about the funeral.
(panda)
-
I agree, don't make any decisions now. I know it's bad, but at least you have found out before the funeral..
-
How are you doing? I am sure I am not alone in this. We miss you. And hope you are ok (panda)
