Please pray for me. Migraine, with tunnel vision, severe confusion, pain. Pretty scary and unsettling.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
May our Lord heal you in accordance with his holy and perfect will. May he grant you strength and peace to bear this cross until he wishes to take it away from you. May you offer up all your sufferings co-redemptively so your pain and suffering will gain great merit for you and for souls. May you persevere in faith and keep growing stronger in faith, hope and love. Amen.
 
Hey, thanks all for praying. It hung on for a couple days, but I’m better.

Tomcmaj, I only get them every few years, usually a combination of stress, lack of sleep and light shining in my eyes. Just came off a 60+ hour week at work - staring at a computer for most of it, so lots of light shining in my eyes. Dimmed all the monitors and taking it easy – well, easier – and I think I’ll be okay.

Cool!

FWIW, I used to get them once a month, but now get them once every couple of years, mainly because I recognize the “early-warning signs” that tell me “this is going to be no normal headache.”

I immediately cut out all spicy food, caffein, sugar. Then I go home, have a light beer, and the next day I’m fine.

Today, though, there are supposed to be some pretty effective medications. Haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but I’ve heard good things from other people.

People who have never had a migraine have no idea the intensity of the pain we suffer. The way I describe it is that if I had a choice between a migraine and smashing own skull with an ice pick, I’d choose the latter.

That’s the truth!

I can’t complain, though. My husband had a brain injury in 2007, and migraines were a daily thing for him for several months. Then it was an every-other-day thing, and then an every-few-days thing & so on. Now he only gets a few each year. Horrible pain when it happens, but it’s easy to be grateful that he’s not much worse and can function normally in almost every other way.
 
I get them the day after a stressful day…my head tingles, extremities often get numb, feel dizzy, short of breath, vision gets a little blurry…used to scare me alot, before I understood what was happening…
I am actually having one right now…so I will offer it up for your healing!
 
Thanks for the prayers. Sparki, are you all better?
Mine is still hanging in there…after a few days it is exhausting!!!.. but I am functioning…which is a blessing…need to get through tomorrow…
I am all in favor of choosing a patron saint for this!!!
Blessings to all…
 
Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen
