Suffering from Migraines

Proverbs 3:5-6 Number of posts : 2539 Mood :

Autumn is not a good time for me as I suffer from migraines that happen when the weather changes(barometric pressure). I have had a headache every day this week and they will continue until the weather stops changing, usually Feb when snow is on the ground and it's cold all the time.
The part that scares me the most is the dizziness. Please pray that I am able to stay on my feet, especially at work. I have fainted before at work and beleive me, it was embarassing. I really don't need that to happen again.
Thanks for your prayers.

Thanks everyone. I spent the day working in the sun and the head was hurting by the time it was time to go home. I love darkness, lol.

Marilyn, you will be in my prayers. How has your job been going?

The job is going well. I only have 2 coworkers and we all get along really well. The manager is a sweetie and together we all make a great team. The store is only 4 weeks old and people are starting to roll in on the way to work. We would have more customers but there are cement barriers in the road that do not give access into our establishment from 2 directions. I know that one of them will soon be fixed to allow more cars to enter but haven't heard of plans for the other side. We are on a corner so we get cars from everywhere, some even going the wrong way to get in for their morning coffee fix.
I am really enjoying this place much more than the old one. God answers prayers.

hi..my name is susan and i'm new to the board

i saw your post and i wanted to respond because my husband suffers from migraines as well and his trigger is the same as yours

nothing seems to help him even though he's seeing a neurologist and is taking meds for them..

a friend of his mothers gave him an article related to a link between magnesium and migraines...he started taking the supplement three weeks ago and hasn't had a headache since...

http://www.rickcokerdds.com/Magnesium.php

above is a link to one of the articles..

i hope that you're feeling better...you are in my thoughts and prayers

Great article. Thanks so much. I'll have to get some magnesium.
Welcome to the prairie.

Marilyn, I'm so sorry you're suffering from the migraines again. I get them from time to time...I can't quite pinpoint a pattern. I know Diet Coke wasn't helping...my hubby insisted I get off that to see if they stopped completely, but I'll still get a full-blown migraine off and on, regardless if I've had pop or not. I'll be praying that yours subside.

Susan, welcome to the board! I am definitely going to try the magnesium. Could be an answered prayer, for both Marilyn & me! Thumbsup

I've spent 2 days in bed this week, got sent home from work and couldn't lift the head off the pillow without getting sick. I have meds that will help control the nasty bad headaches. I can deal with the minor ones with other meds. Hopefully soon, they will be under control. Thanks for praying.

Oh Marilyn, I'm sorry that the migraines are getting so bad. They can be awful; thankfully I've never suffered from them frequently, but one of aunts has for many years. I will be praying for you! {{hugs}}

Marilyn,
Are your migraines doing a little better this week? I wish that there was something you could take to help diminish them.

The head is getting better. I didn't have any headache today, yahoo. I have been really tired this week and went to bed really early last night. It seemed to help, I had a great day today. Thanks for praying everyone!!

I'd missed that link earlier...interesting. I'm going to try the magnesium before I get on any prescription stuff. Marilyn, have you tried the magnesium yet? Sorry to hear you're still suffering. :alright:
