Migraines

Good morning everyone.

I thought I would write about this today because the other night I was once again struck with one of those very inconvenient migraines. You know the kind? No light, no sounds, no phones and preferrably no traffic outside my patio doors.

Well Migraines or headaches are another symptom of Fibro that has developed for me over time. I don't know if it is directly related to stress or not but I will assume that it is. I have never taken a poll on stress and Fibro. If I could though, I would ask that anyone with Fibromyalgia who does NOT have stress in their lives, please raise your hand. I imagine that I would see an ocean of hands raised high in the air.

I don't pretend to know the why's of these symptoms (hense the links to those who might) but I do know how they affect my every day life. If I am curled up on my bed under my blanket so that the smallest bit of light does not reach my head, then it's a menace to my life and everyone in it. I have a store on Ebay which I can put a link to later, but on days like that, there is no chance that I can work. Well like a vicious circle, the stress from worrying about filling orders or the inability to do so, causes stress and then around and around it goes.

Most of the time the Migraine will only last a day and then over the next few days it gets duller and just remains as a normal every day headache. Finally after the headache goes away and I begin to feel normal again; wouldn't you know it, it rains and once again the other symptoms come back.

Remember the old saying; if it isn't one thing then it's another. Well in Fibro's case - if it isn't 3 things then it's 10.

There are many symptoms happening at one time in the body so I am never without a symptom. I would be very grateful to have just one at a time. Oh well, the day still goes on wether I have 1 symptom or 10.

I hope this page has been helpful. I don't yet have a lot of traffic to the blog but I am working on ways to spread the word that it is here.
