I've had a sinus headache and/or migraine for about the last 2 weeks. It's awful. Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-a-migraine-for-my-birthday-yay#post-242308 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:55:07 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 242308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I know...being on the computer definitely means I mostly took care of it! </p> <p>@mrs. wagon: Coffee can make me jittery itself, especially since I've had almost no caffeine during this pregnancy. The Diet Coke seems to do the trick for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-a-migraine-for-my-birthday-yay#post-242294 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:49:56 +0000 heffalump 242294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yuck, so so sorry! As someone who gets migraines regularly my advice would be to stay off the computer! Bright lights are never good. Hope they stay away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-a-migraine-for-my-birthday-yay#post-242293 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:49:56 +0000 MamaMoose 242293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yuck! Glad you were able to stop it before it got bad!!</p> <p>Happy birthday! Today is my husband's birthday too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-a-migraine-for-my-birthday-yay#post-242291 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:49:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 242291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no migraines are no fun! I had them often pregnant and it sucked because I couldnt take anything but tylenol. Oh and I didn't know about the caffeine tip. It works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-a-migraine-for-my-birthday-yay#post-242290 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:49:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 242290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh no :( the worst! glad you're feeling slightly better. And yes, caffeine!! Next time down an iced coffee and you will probably be rid of it completely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-a-migraine-for-my-birthday-yay#post-242287 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:48:32 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 242287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until now, I've had 2 episodes of migraines in my life. The first was around age 15, the second 27 when I was going through a very intense Masters Program, and now.</p> <p>I get the "aura" before the migraine totally starts which is helpful. I see spots in my vision, like I've looked at the sun, but they don't go away and eventually cover my whole vision spectrum. But there's no pain during this 15 minutes or so and if I take measures immediately, I can prevent total debilitation, so I'm lucky.</p> <p>Today's migraine started in the car on the way to my summer job. Awesome. I was running late, so I begged my best friend to bring me a diet coke and some Tylenol (the first time I've taken anything this entire pregnancy). The caffeine counteracts the expanding of the blood vessels. It works really well for me. </p> <p>I wasn't sure I could teach today, much less read, but after about 20 minutes my vision cleared and I was just left with a regular headache. Thank goodness.</p> <p>I hope this is not the start of many more to come! </p>
