Thank you Celtic and Mrs. Strider, both are really appreciated. I don't know if it's noticeable much, but I'm feeling drained now after typing all of this. I think I'm gonna go ahead and try to get some sleep. Thank you everyone that reads. *hugs everyone*  |

"...if I wasn't bleeding or dying, then they couldn't help me. " Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Amanda; that makes me so mad. I can't imagine how that made you feel on top of the pain you're going through! 
Please, either you or your mom please give an update tomorrow after the MRI? Sweetheart, I'll be thinking of you.

Amanda, I just said a prayer for you. I used to get husband related Migraines all the time, but they weren't like you just described. I have had Migraine's like yours, and it was discovered that when I was exposed to a certain chemical or a gas leak I would get the debilitating migraine where I would pass out. Do you think there is a chemical you are exposed to all the time, that you might be reacting to? Just a thought. Anyway, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. HUGS  |

Amanda, I had migraines like you describe at one time as well. Nothing helped, none of the numerous medicines they tried would lessen them. After a year and a half of it, I figured out what the cause was. Mold in my house. The house we were renting had a leak in the bathroom wall that connected to our bedroom. Since it was in the wall, we didn't see the mold growing until much much later. It wasn't until 6 mos after we moved that the migraines started to ease off. I was getting daily headaches then, now I get one every couple of weeks. I moved 6 years ago, and thank goodness I did. Please check around the areas of your house that may have a water leak hidden. I will keep you in my prayers, Amanda, I know you are miserable. (((luv n hugs)))  |

ReRun, I don't know if that might be what's causing it or not, but we've not have any other signs of mold. No one else is being affected either, but that is something to consider.

Migraines with dizziness CAN be caused by food intolerance. You can also suddenly become intolerant to a food that you have eaten all of your life with no ill effects. Try not to be too scared, there could be a simple explanation. I do feel for you though, it's easy to say 'don't worry' but almost impossible NOT to worry. I'll certainly keep you in my thoughts.

Tweeti, I thought that. In fact over the 9-10 months, I've done so much to try to figure out an environmental/other reasons for my migraines. I've changed pillows, changed soaps to hypoallergenic stuff, made sure to dust everything, changed food habits, changed my intake of caffeine, and so many other little things. I started excercising and eating better too. I even thought it might have been my BC pills, so I went off of them in April, and it didn't change anything. I started them back at the end of last month, because I definitely can't get pregnant with all my other health problems going on. I did though think that at one time too. You are a nurse, maybe you can pm me some other types of illnesses that cause migraines, and maybe even suggestions on other things to try to lessen them? I've been trying to stay very positive, but also to be prepared for if bad news comes my way and trying to be knowledgeable of everything it could possibly be. I'm really hoping it's something simple like hormones or something. It's still very scary to go through, especially the not knowing and it taking so very long to get anyone to help me, has made it more emotional than it probably would have been if I had insurance and could have had answers right away. Thank you for your reply hun. I'm going to go lay down for a bit because my head is right now throbbing. Thank you everyone, again. *hugs* |

Thank you everyone. I'm overwhelmed over here, it's hard to find the words. I haven't heard anything yet, and am unsure how long it will take them so I'm sitting on pins and needles, waiting. I've read every single reply, and I know a lot of you didn't know what was going on with me. I didn't post about it and only mentioned it maybe in a few replies here and there, so you didn't miss anything. I didn't want to worry any of my friends, and wanted to wait until I had my MRI stuff scheduled before even mentioning it to the masses. The people at the GTG knew, and a few others, but not many. I'm sorry, for keeping ya'll in the dark, though, that wasn't my intention. Thank you all for the love and support. *huge huge hugs* |

I have been told this as well as if you feel like you are a danger to yourself or to others, there's really nothing we can do. Grrr! Makes me so angry! This is NOT RIGHT! The Healthcare System in our country is so messed up! I AM SO very sorry you had to go through this when you already were and are going through so much! I feel so bad for you, Amanda!

Author Only L, I don't think it's computer related. I usually get them during the day, when I haven't even been on the computer. They don't get worse while on the computer either, unless I am in chat or on a bright/white page. Usually when they are bad, I avoid the pc and all bright/lights/ things of that nature as much as possible, and just try to get through my day as best as possible.

AuthorOnly I, Yes they gave me Topamax and Imitrex for my migraines. The topamax, I've not had a problem out of, but I cannot take the recommended 100mg that they want me to take or it makes me zombified, and I can't have that. I usually take half and it has done a pretty fair job at helping keep my migraines dull or at bay for most the day... I didn't know it had those side effects though, I thought that maybe it was just me. My doctor told me I was young too, so it doesn't bother me hun. And good advice there, no news is good news. Thinking that might help me not worry so much. Thank you so much hun. *huge hugs* |

Thank you B.Bunny... I knew what you meant sweety, and I agree with you about the healthcare situation. Unfortunately, the only reason we don't have insurance right now is because my husband's boss is holding out on it. He keeps promising to offer benefits for his employees, but has yet to follow through. I hate that too, because my husband absolutely loves his job, but because of that and insurance being too expensive to buy outright for ourselves, he might have to give up his job. Right now, everything medical that we have done is coming out of pocket pretty much, and anything found will be pre-existing anyway. So, we are definitely hoping it is something that can be treated, and something that is hopefully easy to fix. I don't know what or where I'll go or how I'll pay for it, if it is something really bad or serious. I try not to think too hard on the negative, on that, though. Thank you sweety *hugs* |

Hey there home slice I read your status thing on myspace and came a running here. I read it and signed in to tell you to hang in there. I know how you feel about the no insurance thing. And I further know about the MRI and the injection of dyes for contrast (it's never fun) I also thought it to be like a coffin. I also saw a movie the day before my first MRI where there is a fire alarm and they are left in the machine....talk about major freak out. I did fine but I've never been claustrophobic in my life, but in that situation I am. (crowds in stores make me feel that way lately too). Hopefully answers will come to you soon and you will not have the pain you have been you can do it...umm Home Slice  |

Thank you so very much, everyone. I still haven't gotten my results in yet. And to top it off, Things today have gotten harder. I don't want to get into specifics, but I'm now worried 10 times more than I was a few days ago. I totally dislike being poor, not having insurance, and all the worries that go along with those two things. I'm scared, but trying so very hard not to focus on negatives right now. I just don't have the energy to focus on any, really. I'm worn down, and honestly feel that I can't catch a break at all. My husband, God love him, is dealing with so much stress from all this too, and today wasn't good for him either. The prayers are definitely appreciated, and needed. I cannot express my thanks to you, in mere words. You all are so very awesome, and I sometimes wish that people in offline life could be as caring and compassionate as you all are. Thank you for being there for me. I appreciate it more than you know. *huge hugs* |
