(Minor complaint and request) I had my first migraine attack this weekend, help!
I wanted to ask something selfish:
please pray that my migraine attacks would cease.
I've never had them before, and they are really bad.
They seem to have a couple triggers, dietary and behavioral.
I read about them online after the experience and it's a textbook case of migraine.
The last big attack lasted about two hours, maybe three. I thought I was having an aneurysm, and in fact, a brain stem aneurysm is the only thing in the world that really equates to the pain of a migraine.
I've been staying up too late, putting too much strain on my body,
i.e. motel hopping etc., and also I think I had a huge dose of MSG a few days ago.
A cough or even an orgasm is actually enough to set off a migraine if you are already suffering, so you can imagine that this is not only scary and inconvenient but just downright wrong.
I guarantee if you've ever had the hankering to curse at the Lord God, you will have the urge during your first major migraine attack.
I thought I had escaped this terrible family disease, but it would seem that it can have a late onset and trigger under stress!!!
I hate headaches, and this one takes the cake for sure.
If you believe in prayer, please send some energy .my way!!!
p.s. glutamate perturbations are linked to autism and migraines alike!! be careful out there! no wonder autistic kids hit their heads.
