The Migraine Update

Filed under: Uncategorized — by psipsina @ 9:55 pm

Oh, yeah, I’m supposedly the Migraineur.  So let’s have the migraine report.

I forgot to refill my Inderal prescription about 2 days before the pregnancy test, and so May 2008 was the last time I took the stuff.  My doctor, whom I have since fired – long story I may tell here some day – predicted I wouldn’t have any migraines during my pregnancy, and she was right, though I think her confidence was not justified, since many pregnant women DO have migraines.

In the two years since my daughter was born, I have had hardly any migraines.  Once I woke up with something that was so unmistakably a migraine that I was sure I’d just slept through the aura.  The other times, what I had was a persistent one-sided headache that was probably a migraine, but lacked two telltale symptoms: the aura, and the aftermath of an incredibly sore head when I bent over.  And even then, we’re talkng three or four times, max.

I am sorry, fellow migraine sufferers – I can’t tell you how this happened.  Combination of luck and hormones, I suppose.  I feel lucky.

  1. I was wondering if you thought that the description offered about migraine aura’s presented here were encompassing?

    Do you have visual or strictly physiological symptoms. I am trying to get a better grasp of my inclement migraines.

  2. I recently saw some really good info on a couple of news programs like CNN and the Journal with Joan Lunden. Info on triggers and possible remedies.
