I have been fighting a full blown migraine today and yesterday, I am suspecting it was from going with out sleep on Tuesday & Wednesday. It has been so bad I have been barely been able to eat, sensitive to light and sound and only able to sleep for short periods at a time, and then I wake up with my head pounding!!  Excederin did nothing, my tylenol pm only worked for a couple of hours and my husbands Fiorinal did nothing and thats made for migraines...  What finally helped this afternoon, ALEVE!! my mother gave me some and I feel much better now... It seems to have subsided to a dull throb, so I am going to try and catch up on my emails & gather... but I am going to bed early because tomorrow is the "Heavenly Ball" and I want to feel good for that!  I admitted to my mother that I am not a spring chicken anymore and even though I used to pull that all the time when I was working nights my body was more accustomed to my crazy schedule!  LOL I will not do it again, the migraine is not worth it!!

I'm glad you found some relief. Try to get a little more rest in the future.

Thank goodness for Aleve. I'm glad that you are finally feeling better.
Kimmie M. Mar 24, 2012, 9:59am UTC
Thank Goodness for ALEVE is right Ms. Lee! Mom is bringing me some more this morning just incase....
Heather - child of God, C. Mar 23, 2012, 9:40pm UTC
Glad you found something that works. :)
Kimmie M. Mar 24, 2012, 10:00am UTC
Thanks Heather, I think because I take Excederin everyday for the CMT soreness I am a little immune to it, hence it not working on a headache, where as the Aleve I only take once in a while and I think I am going to keep it that way so I don't build up an immunity to that too!
Pamela Marks Mar 23, 2012, 10:58pm UTC
I have a head ache too not quite a migraine but not far off
Kimmie M. Mar 24, 2012, 10:02am UTC
Hope you are feeling better today Pamela, headaches are the absolute worst! I would rather have a cold or other minor ailment than a pounding headache!!!
Ellen T P. Mar 24, 2012, 9:51am UTC

Let us now about the 'Heavenly Ball' .... hope all is well & you get back online 110%
Kimmie M. Mar 26, 2012, 12:24am UTC
OMG! CL it was a great night...
Linda T. Mar 24, 2012, 4:33pm UTC
Glad to hear the ALEVE worked for you. My migraines always get worse when I am under any kind of stress. You pretty much know what my life is like so having migraines is quite common. Mine are also triggered by my allergies sometimes. They are tough to deal with. I woke up to one yesterday and today is not much better. If I had not promised the grandsons we would go see the Easter Bunny I would be in bed right now.
Kimmie M. Mar 26, 2012, 12:34am UTC
I literally thought I was on the brink of death Thursday night into Friday morning.... It was the worst since this time last year... beginning to wonder if its a pattern, like seasonal change? Migraines were a real problem for me from like 14 yrs old til 22??? I have suffered a few nasty ones over the years and one really bad one at the end of my pregnancy with Joey.. I literally took my Macro Economics final in 1994 with one hand covering an eye and read the final out of one eye...
Linda T. Mar 26, 2012, 1:40am UTC
I know the weather is often a trigger for me.
Kimmie M. Mar 26, 2012, 1:45am UTC
Honestly at this point it could be so many factors, I will have to be more careful of getting adequate sleep and if it happens at the time seasons change, I will know and be able to prepare...
Angela A. Mar 24, 2012, 10:55pm UTC
I was going to suggest Aleve, then you mentioned it. I tried it one day, and I've been using it as a pain reliever ever since. It's a god send!
Kimmie M. Mar 26, 2012, 12:36am UTC
Saving Aleve as my secret Weapon!! LOL it worked and will work again (I HOPE!) if I do not build up an immunity to it!
Angela A. Mar 26, 2012, 11:14am UTC
I've been using Aleve for many years. Luckily it still works great

Lack of sleep probably contributed if you're pre-dispositioned~I have wicked insomnia also, but without the headaches. Glad you're feeling better & thanx for stopping by my posts!
Kimmie M. Mar 27, 2012, 12:37am UTC
I tell ya August insomnia sucks but I do sleep about 5 hours a night/morning, which is enough, not working leaves me the luxury to sleep later in the morning especially if I see the sun come up and here the birds singing... LOL
