Migraine Resources
The following is a list that I am starting to help others find resources to deal with their migraines like I have. If you have any suggestions please feel free to comment.
Migraine.Com - This resource is my absolute favorite at this point. They send periodic emails about news and information regarding migraines, relief and developing research. Most of all they provide the perspective of someone with migraines and their struggles through guest blogs.
An Open Letter to People without Migraine - This "letter" post is what I would love to be able to regurgitate to anyone who tells me that my migraines are just a "bad headache" Here is a little taste of the post..
"When I say “I have a migraine,” I mean that I am horribly nauseated, dizzy, weak, and have flu-like lethargy and fatigue. My legs tremble so much my knees buckle. I cannot think clearly enough to write a coherent sentence, common words elude me, decision-making is nearly impossible. I am overwhelmed by mood swings, including suicidal depression. Light, sounds, smells and touch are magnified beyond annoyance. And the head pain is so severe that even moving my legs while lying in bed causes me to moan in agony. These aren't all my symptoms, just the most notable. Nor does the list represent all possible migraine symptoms someone can experience — I am fortunate in that I don’t have endless vomiting or diarrhea,numbness and tingling in my limbs, temporary paralysis, or loss of vision."
