Look at that face

Doesn't get much cuter than that, eh?

Yeah, not long after we got home Saturday morning from our bike ride to the downtown bike celebration did I decide Bill needed some yelling and I was the girl to do it.

Saturday was going to be a busy day for us and I didn't want to waste any of it yelling — and definitely not yelling at Bill for no good reason. But I did.

By noon Saturday, I realized that I was getting yet another migraine headache. It was the fourth day in a row and I was at the end of my coping rope.

I can stand the actual pain-in-the-head part of migraines. It's the other crap, like the nausea, that comes with it that gets to me and makes me understand the act of trepanation — you know, where people drill holes in their skulls to let the demons out. Yeah, that totally makes sense to me. And after years of trying treatment after treatment, I'm thinking that it just might be worth a try.

I mean, how else are those evil demons gonna get out of my head anyway?

Does anyone know a good trepanner?

I have spent the last 2-3 years with major migraines every day. I even have had an MRI and went to see a neurologist they were so bad!!! I quit drinking all soda at the end of February. The withdrawl was horrible but haven't had a migraine since.

Though the withdrawl from sugary caffeinated soda was horrible it is still better than a hole in the head!

Stephanie,

Yep, I've been to the neurologist, had a CT scan and tried every drug out there — both preventative and abortive. Luckily abortive drugs work, but the side effects suck.

Unfortunately my migraines are hormonal, in that I get them mostly during the beginning of my period. Every month. They suck donkey balls.

Thanks for the input. I always listen when a migraine suffer offers suggestions.
