Migraines

I think that I am suffering from Migraines. I have had headaches before but these bad boys are beyond what I am use to. I am usually the kind who gets a headache, pops a couple of Tylenol and I am good to go. But here of late...these have been downright evil.

Ok, so now here are the wonderful (and I say this loosely) words of wisdom from my ever-so-encouraging friends and family.

1. "Go to the chiropracter, you need an alignment."
Yeah, so does my van. I went to a chiropracter years ago. The first time I went, I came home feeling like I had been hit by a van. That is not all of it. They supposedly took xrays, which showed me as looking like the elephant woman from my lower back and into my hips. I mean, after looking at them I thought, "GOOD LORD! HOW am I even able to WALK?!" Well, it was too exspensive to get "treated" every week for the rest of my life (and my insurance would not cover it). I then was referred to a reputable clinic in Memphis, by the family doc. They took xrays and one of 2 things had happened. (1.) I was miraculously healed by the chiropracter of my affirmity OR (2.) The chiropracter LIED! Turns out I had one leg just a tad shorter than the other and the early stages of osteoarthritis in my lower back. hmmmmmmmmm....

2. " You are almost 40, maybe you are going perimenopausel or menopause is setting in."
Geeee.... thanks! Pass the estrogen please and lets watch my boobs slide down to my knees. Oh and keep me away from all deadly weapons...HA HA HA HA HA! (diabolical laughter here)

3. "Oh, I get those too! The doctor gave me this prescription that works great! But it knocks you out."
Hmmmmm...I already have to stay on top of my 4 kids to keep on top of their school work, chores, etc. and keep them from killing each other or destroying our home. (ok, they are not that bad but give them an oppurtunity, they will take it). I think being asleep for hours would not be a good thing here.

4. "My wife has those too. She has had all sorts of medication, tests, and they still can't help her."
Wow, that gives me so much hope, thank you!

5. " Have you tried X brand herbal supplement? You can get it at such and such store in Memphis."
Ok, so I would have to drive at least an hour just to get to said store and an hour back home for a surprisingly small bottle of herbs that costs a very large amount of money, that may or may not help. I don't know?

I am sure there are many more I will hear before its over. The bottom line for me is, I don't have time. I do not have time for Migraines to plague me. I have 4 young children who need me, I have a job that requires my attention, I have people counting on me. This is not fun. So, I have asked for everyone to pray for me. Prayer is probably the best thing at this point. Prayer for wisdom and healing. I know ya'll will do that for me, won't you?

Well, I can't handle much more computer time, I need to go lie down for a while. God Bless...
