Headaches vs. Migraines

by Coded Logic in

a while back a coworker was telling me she had a migraine in the morning and had to take some aspirin before coming to work.

i was like, "yeah, that wasn't a migraine dear.

that was just a headache.

Like most things there are many levels not just one (or cranked to 11 in your cases).
I'm a bloke and i get them occasionally. I dont get them bad but the visual pulsing with checker board squiggles in the visual periphery and the dull throbbing headache and nausea that can last from 5 minutes to several hours are so obviously different to a normal headache.
So if you are saying that because i am not incapacitated for several days it's not a migraine then you are wrong. Just sayin'.

I agree with you...there are many levels...but as you say you get the nausea, the weird visual thing and the headache...I've had migraines like that too that do not require me to go to bed but then others have been stronger.

But the poster above doesn't get the visual thing, the nausea and just gets a headache...and at twenty a month that is excessive and yet not one required bed...

To me that suggests it is something else but could just be a different form of migraine for sure...

The point is, whether they are minor or major...I hate them with a passion!

I have had migraines my entire life the crazy thing is even with my head pounding out of control I would continue to work.

That sounds just as awful and I appreciate migraines affect people differently but the fact you are not vomiting or not having nausea or not have to lie down suggests to me yours is something different to a standard migraine...if I had 20 migraines a month I would be dead.

Learn to deal with the pain? Again it sounds something different as you simply cannot function at all with a what I call the standard common migraine.

What was the medicine you were prescribed?

Indeed....I hate when people say "just pop a pill and carry on".

When I get a migraine I am completely destroyed for 3-5 days...I can't move, I can't function, I can't eat or drink, I simply lay in bed with a cold towel on my head, in darkness and vomit...I get a headache but that is nothing...the worse part is simply feeling so unwell you cannot do anything but try and sleep and wait for it to go. The weird blinding lights are very strange but that was always my first symptom it was coming so I was thankful for that since I could then prepare.

Suicidal headaches is what they are...I missed the birth of my daughter because I was having a migraine...thankfully my wife knew how bad I was and told the rest of the family to leave me alone to suffer as they were trying to get me out of bed...

Thankfully, I have not had one in 3 years...they just disappeared...they say it can come and go but I got my first one when I was 35...had them for 2 years with one every two weeks then they just stopped.

EVERYBODY who gets proper migraines has my deepest empathy...they were by far the worst thing I have ever suffered in my life.

The usual cure docs like to offer is betablockers and for a while it did calm down my frequency of them but then I tried an older betablocker called Pziofen and that worked a lot better!

Rizatripans also work to keep one under control if you feel one coming on, I got these just before they stopped but they did reduce the awfulness of them...but if you take too many too frequently they can actually bring on migraines.

Tales from the Special Convention in Helsinki

by internationalfader in

i created a new account since i didn't want anybody to be able to trace this back to me based on my other posts.

i was an international delegate at the special convention in helsinki.

i am an awake pioneer.

notsurewheretogo

I would love to hear how any "awake" person can be a pioneer? 70 hours a month doing something you know is not truthful? It was hard for me to be "awake" and just go to meetings let alone pioneer...

some internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.

- in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.

- which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.

Is it something to do with overlapping????

Lol read my previous post.

You also say "This will happen or that will happen" where it isn't so...yet...negotiations haven't even began...so it is a bit rich to ask me to deliver quotes on things when no-one can quote anything yet because the EU and the UK have not began negotiations.

We can both quote experts but equally the experts range from one extreme to the other...they are all opinions and not facts...yet.

? What are you talking about?

The £350 million was really £166 million and the rebates we got back we were told how to spend...

We can now spend that £166 million plus the rest as we want.

French and German companies are pleading we get free access to the single market given we buy £40 billion a year from France and £100 billion a year from Germany...we will get access to the single market and it won't cost £166 million a week...

Full border control? When we leave we most certainly will control our borders...

Will the Brexit Trigger ever be pulled?

by Slidin Fast in

since david cameron has bowed out, his successor is not going to pull the article 50 trigger any time soon.

we don’t even have a successor yet.. bojo looked sheepish and chastened at having won the leave vote, i don’t think he really believed he would win.

he was at best flying a flag of convenience in heading up the brexit camp, was his heart really in it?.

notsurewheretogo

Eh?...just about everyone says the public made their choice and it will be respected including David Cameron.

Article 50 will be triggered, it is democracy.

We just don't know who and when.
