Migraines - Any one else suffer?

[Pub Bigot]

I've always experienced migraines in various ways, mostly auras, blind spots and headaches, but never frequently, Recently I've had four migraines in two weeks, including a new one for the last three days. 

Aphasia is the worst thing I experience where I struggle to formulate thoughts and speech. 

I'm pending a call from the doctor because they've become so frequent, so while it's alright when they're infrequent, they're frightening and match mini-strokes.

Only Vestibular Migraines (and fortunately not too extreme) that seem to go hand in hand with the weird head thing I have called SCDS (Semi-Circular Canal Dehiesance Syndrome). 

The wife gets them though. My sympathies!

[Alan]

You have my sympathies, sounds devastating.
I'm sure you'll find comfort knowing that I've never had a headache in my life.
Nobody believes me, but weirdly it's true.
I have though seen the agony that migraine can bring.

[Westham67]

Yes, TIAs are frightening, and sometimes they can be psychological, like a panic attack

It must be awful with constant migraines

[Shropshire_Iron]

I suffered with them for years honestly used to ruin my life, tried everything the docs gave me nothing worked. 
A bloke at the gym swore by electrolytes and i gave them a go and not had one since I get a headache every now and then but no migraines anymore give them a try

Mine stopped when I stopped eating cheese . 

[Pub Bigot]

Cheers lads. 

funnily enough Joyo, I’ve got them twice at football. 1st was Miaga when he scored the winner at White Hart Lane, and the second was Feghouli’e v Palace before Carrol scored that bicycle kick.

Yes loads mainly at the bowl 

[zebthecat]

Yes I do and it is horrendous so I feel for you.
Used to get lots when I was growing up and got the full works. The aphasia kicks in first so at least I get some warning of the whole shebang kicking in. It is like a bad LSD trip with a humungous headache thrown in for good measure. The worst was losing the entire left half of my vision - not the left eye but the left half like there was a black wall running from the middle of my face into the distance.
Lying down in the dark is the only things that works me and luckily only get them very infrequently now.
Hope you get some progress from the doctor.
Best wishes PB.

yeah on and off, forever., something you might want to try is getting the bit of cartilage pierced that half covers your earhole, not sure how it works but people swear by it, even pinching it hard offers small time relief for me, other than that Wasabi works for me at least half the time, sometimes its almost instant, good luck!
