Day 5!!

I haven't needed any migraine meds today. I'm so happy!! But it looks like snow soon and I'll be back in pain. It sucks. Plus my period will be here soon too. I really wish things would work out and the migraines would stop. I'm tired of the stress of the migraines and everything else.

School is stress, home is stress, the wedding that I have no help planning is very stressful. The fact that he still isn't divorced is even more stressful. I'm just wiped out I'm hoping that all my stress doesn't cause a worse migraine.

See I maybe happy with no migraine but I'm a little depressed right now with everything else that is going on in my life. Which really isn't good for my blood pressure or me right now.

Day 4

Today was a good day. I didn't start getting one till 6:45 tonight. I was able to take my Excedrin migraine and it wiped it out. My appointment yesterday didn't go how I wanted to but with what we are doing I need to stay off of some meds but I can take others.

I was asked when was the last time I went months without a migraine and it was when I was pregnant with Amber and I told the nurse that. It was funny I said yes but we don't want a million kids. She didn't even smile. It was funny to me and Will.

I have to go back in a few months if my bp doesn't go down and stay down. It was low yesterday but when I took it today it was high. So that's one more thing I have to worry about. This sucks!!

Day 3 no snow fall

Woke up to day with hardly any snow on the truck!! No real migraine today. I did take some Excedrin Migraine just to make sure I would be fine for my test. I had to do a small oral report on a subject in a magazine so what did I pick? Migraines of course. There has been some new facts found about migraines which is awesome.

Doctors and researchers are starting to see that migraines can be dangerous because white matter shows up on the brain after a migraine. They also know that migraines are inherited which helps me understand why I got them. My mom suffers from them too. I'm the one that was lucky (whatever) enough to get them.

I do have a doctors appointment today for my migraines and blood pressure I'm hoping we can figure out if the blood pressure meds will help with my migraines.

I also got told today that I should be a migraine advocate also which made me start to think and wonder what I would have to do to become one for Alaska. Need to look into that. :-)

Day two of snow fall

I woke up with another migraine. It's trying to snow again. It melted by the time I went to class last night. I'm starting to think that my migraines are controlled by weather more than anything else. Well weather and stress. Our truck is losing it's rear end so at any time we maybe stuck walking home which sucks of course it goes out after we have paid all of our bills and spent the pfd's.

On a different note I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I have a feeling he is going to put me on blood pressure meds. Hopefully they will work if they do then bye bye migraines but if not then its back to the drawing board.

In one of my classes I'm designing a migraine care office. I'm starting to wish we had one up here. If I would have been able to I would of went to the specialist down in Missouri to see what they recommended. Ok so today's post is boring I'm doing homework also.

Day one of real snow fall

Sure living in Alaska is beautiful but when you suffer from migraines it sucks. Today is our first real day of snow fall and instead of enjoying the beauty and wonder I'm stuck inside taking my Excedrin Migraine. Don't get me wrong I love Alaska hell I was born and raised here. I just don't love the temperature changes. 


Looking back I never had an issue with migraines until I became a teenager. I remember getting up when it was snowing and getting on my winter gear  and playing for hours and hours. Now I hide in my room praying for the pain to stop. I wish more than anything I didn't have migraines but I do. 


I'm just glad that I have a wonderful man who supports me when I have one. He sits with me at the ER when I go in he's trying to find ways to get them to stop also. My family is also a strong support for me. I'm glad I have them. 


But for now I must go the pain is getting worse. I'll post more later if I can.
