do you have

I am 10 weeks out and having what i think are migraines. my d/h left saturday for 3 weeks for training to go to iraq in july so when i got a headache and sick to my stomach i thought it was nerves , yesterday it was  dull but there. today it was horrible they light made it hurt worse so i thought with the hormonal changes i thought it might be migraines.... but someone ask if i was dehydrated i sip water and eat ice allday. did any of you have headaches? sometimes i think its just cause i miss my d/h already...

Yes I have them and have since I was 3 years old. They are still there for me. You should see your PCP and talk to him\her about it. There is so many meds out there that can help you. Just try and stay positive about your DH going and I will keep you and him in my prayer's. Let us all know how thing's go. Stress is a HUGE factor in miagrains. I know this all to well I have been under alot lately and it does not help when the onset of one start's. My other suggestion would be if you can take a hot shower as hot as you can stand and try to relax and I know that's hard to do right now, but that seems to help me when I'm all stressed out.

Bless you and the DH. Oh and if you need to talk or have any question's feel free to ask.

I have never had migraines. Well I guess I had one when I was young.  But havent had one since.  I would talk to your PCP and get some medicine. There is no need to suffer with these. Thank your DH for us.  I adore these military men going out on the line for us.  I dont know what I would do if my DH were in the military.  Your DH is a true hero!

i have had a few migraines since surgery....but i also had some other medical stuff goin on....so i am not sure what was the onset of them....i do know thou...i was very sick to stomach...light killed me...and i basically had to sleep it off.....good luck and hope you get to feelin better soon.... i am on here a lot...so if you to missin hubby too much...come say hi...we can chat! big hugs Kim

i get them and have had more this week than i usually do, food can trigger them, if i eat certain pork foods i get them bad and if i sleep wrong on my hair  or it gets to long i get migrains.

I have had them all my life,  they suck.  The PCP I have had almost all my life passes away so I have a new PCP.  My previous dr had me on meds that woudl help them when I had them, but my new dr decided to go an alternate route and now I am on a once a night very tiny little pill that actually works to help prevent them.  That changed in January and I have not had one since, its amazing.  Even my little headachs have gone away pretty much 100%.   He put me on a very low dose of  Amitriptyline.  I think its use as an anti depresssent or anxity med at full dose. It has had zero side effect and I am as happy as a bug in a rug. Talk to your dr. like Julie said there are lots of meds out there that can help.  Till then a dark quite room and a cold wash cloth helps me. God bless your DH. Kim  

 I have suffered from migraines since I was little and finally have been put on medication (Topomax) to help with them...so far so good! Talk to your PCP and see what they have to say. Food and stress are definite triggers......google for the list...its unbelievable how many foods can cause or worsen one!

Thank you all so much my headache has finally eased up but man ive never had headaches like that.. D/h called tonite he misses me as much as i miss him..... The boys are such a help I am so blessed. Again thank you for all your help...
