MeMe

So Megann tagged me for this so I thought I would do it to get back to blogging.

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Anyone who wants to do it.

My blogging has been low on my list lately as I have been dealing with the nastiest thing I have ever had...Cluster Headaches. They are kind of like migraines, which I have never had, but come on quickly, are so painfull I can barely stand and last anywhere from a minute to hours. You never know when they are going to come and the Dr.'s only suggestion is to take ibuprofen. I decided that popping meds every day was not something I can live with so I went to the health food/ vitamin store and got some advice. The vitamin specialist suggested a couple of things to try and I have really seen an improvement in the headaches and even if it is all mental I would do anything to make them stop. So between the diet change and the herbs that have been shown to help with headaches hopefully I will get this all under control soon because having tons of tests just to be told everything is fine is getting old.

My knitting has been in a slump too because of these headaches so I really have nothing to show except a few rows on the on going projects. I do have yarn coming for a new one that I hope will help with the slump it is Rowan Denim and the project is the Indigo Ripples Skirt. Hopefully it will turn out as cute as all the ones I have seen.

Hmmmm - sorry but Ibuprofen really is like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

I get migraine headaches. Cluster headaches are worse and to my understanding not very common for women. If you get improvement from the homeopathic remedies -keep it up. I use Aleve for my headaches, but the dosage is pretty high.

What.. back to work in real estate? We have so much to catch up on at coffee on Wednesday. I'm sorry you are having problems with the headaches still :(

Oh, sweetie, my heart goes out to you! I have had my bouts with clusters -- thankfully not the hour long ones, but they have LITERALLY knocked me to my knees before. I would be afraid to drive when they were at their worst and most frequent. Stress really causes them to rear their ugly little heads, as do horomone changes, for me. For a good 7 years my docs couldn't even tell me what was wrong with me, so thank goodness your doc at least knew what you were talking about. I'd love to know what herbs they suggested. Also, as an aside, I was plagued with nasty headaches of the general kind for a good year, and finally discovered a major trigger was an out of line neck and mild arthritis. GOOD LUCK HONEY! FEEL BETTER!

Oh, Cayli! I'm so sorry that you've been having such horrible headaches! I can sympathize with you completely...I know how painful they are. Sending much love to you and healing hugs. Hope you get well soon ; )
