From someone who has a migraine at least once a week, this means a lot to me. This mother did great and there is no such thing as paranoia, overspeculating, or being too careful in a situation like this. It is amazing how something so deadly can be covered or masked by something so minor as a small headache. It almost makes me want to go get a CT scan. We have just always figured since I am always running, I always needed to drink more water and stay hydrated to prevent these migraines. But then the doctors said it might be my eyesight that gives the illusion to my brain that I have double vision and therefore I get headaches but I have inherited the common migraines from my mother unfortunately. Usually what happenes if you experience migraines on a daily basis is you have a throbbing pain in the back top half of your head and also right above your ears. Then if you're lucky, you will vomit and fall asleep and eventually wake up feeling just fine. But when you are not this lucky, the throbbing pain will stay with you forever and it feels like you are going to overheat and pass out and just drop there. Nothing medication can really do for you, you kind of just have to tough it out and hope nobody bothers you while because you get extremely cranky while it happens.
