Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 OK I SENT 2 FWD'S THIS MORNING BUT NOT ANY OTHER REASON THAN I THOUGHT THEY HAD GOOD MESSAGES. NOW MIGRAINES I DO NOT REMEMBER HAVING BUT ONE HEADACHE WHEN I WAS A CHILD EXCEPT WHEN SICK WHICH WAS SELDOM. I COULD NOT EVEN GET THE MUMPS FROM ANY OF MY SISTERS NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED TO BECAUSE I DIDNOT WANT TO GET THEM AT AN OLDER AGE BECAUSE THEY WERE TELLING HORROR STORIES ABOUT THE OLDER YOU WERE THE WORSE THEY WERE. THE ONE HEADACHE WAS DUE TO 5 BEE STINGS IN THE HEAD ALL AT ONCE FROM ONE OF THE BIG BLACK AND YELLOW BEES THAT I ALWAYS CALLED YELLOW JACKETS BUT IT IS NOT THE ONE THAT OTHERS CALL THAT. BUT AS AN ADULT IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY. I WAS HAVING MIGRAINES VERY OFTEN. I FOUND THAT MOST OF THE TIME THEY WERE BROUGHT ON BY STRESS OR TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE - EXCLUDING OTHER FOODS AND ONLY EATING CHOCOLATE.- A FEW OTHER FOODS WOULD DO IT TOO IF I ATE TOO MUCH OF THEM OR A COMBINATION OF THEM BUT I AM NOT SURE WHICH ONES IT WAS. IF IT WAS STRESS INDUCED IT STARTED AT THE BASE OF MY NECK AND THE MUSCLES WERE TIGHT -- HARD AS A ROCK. AND THE FOOD ONES WOULD START WITH A STOMACH ACHE OR HEART BURN. I CANNOT REMEMBER WHEN I HAD MY LAST FULL BLOWN MIGRAINE. BUT I HAVE LEARNT HOW TO MANAGE MY STRESS BETTER [GETTING RID OF MY FIRST HUSBAND REDUCED THEM GREATLY} LOL MY MS HAS TAUGHT ME TO RELAX AND ACCEPT THINGS AS THEY ARE A LOT TOO. I DID HAVE ONE MIGRAINE THAT WAS A DUZZY THOUGH. IT LASTED FOR 10 SOLID MONTHS. EVEN TAKING 10 OR 20 GM OF VALIUM 4 TIMES A DAY AS WELL AS 3 STRONG PAIN PILLS I STILL FUNCTIONED AND WAS STILL IN PAIN. I EVEN SPENT A WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TESTING. THE DR DECLINED DOING THE SPINEAL TEST AS HE SAID IT COULD CAUSE ME EVEN MORE PAIN THAN I WAS IN. I HAVE SINCE FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSED IT AND THINK THAT TEST WOULD HAVE SHOWN IT. MY FIRST HUSBAND WAS POPPING BACKS AND INSISTED HE COULD POP MINE. -- IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSABLE EVEN FOR A CHIROPRACTOR TO DO. -- SO HE TRIED AND TRIED AND ONLY SUCCEEDED IN POPPING MY NECK SEVERAL TIMES. THE MIGRAINE STARTED THE NEXT DAY. ANYWAY I SAID ALL THIS TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE THREE MAIN REASONS THAT I KNOW OF FOR A MIGRAINE AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN IS THAT THEY DO STRESS OUT EASY AND OVER THINGS THAT WE WOULD NOT OR DO NOT NOTICE LIKE BEING UNABLE TO MAKE THEMSELVES UNDERSTOOD ETC. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS ANY HELP TO ANYONE BUT I HOPE SO LOVE AND HAPPINESS FLOWERS AND BUTTERFLIES LYNN Happiness and Butterflies Lynn your Mom, Sister, Aunt, Gramma or Friend Live each day as if it is a memory in the making.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I have migraines now also, but never had a headache before I was an adult. He does stress a lot. I don't think it's related to a specific food, but I could be wrong. I'm going to try to watch him closely. Only sleep helps him, no meds. Only sleep relieves mine.
