I hope your migraine is ebbing. I fee...Hi, Julie!<br /><br />I hope your migraine is ebbing. I feel for you. When I turned 40, I had the first of what I learned was a premenstrual migraine. I thought I was having a stroke! Luck for me the migraines left when my period did. What worked for me was somewhat unconventional: when I felt a migraine coming on (and I could sometimes predict them with my cycle), I took about 3 Motrin and 12 oz. of Coca-Cola. The caffeine and the ibuprofen seemed to keep the worst symptoms at bay. <br /><br />And I get sick about once a year. Just came off a flu-like bout, but not too awful. I have learned to rest and accept that I am not 100% and...here is the best part...pamper myself with hot tea and juice and heat and aromatherapy until I am "all better." I hope you are "all better" soon.Mary Frances Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05487593284800783899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-89606975375899012142014-03-13T17:16:22.563-04:002014-03-13T17:16:22.563-04:00Oh Fran, that's terrible.

My problem is that I have only slept more than three hours about a handful of times in over 10 years. I've tried everything and have now resorted to prescribed sleeping tablets. I take them once in a while when lack of sleep is too debilitating. It helps but I wish there was a simple solution to these problems, Julie.Franhttp://www.franclark.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-1484130969610005622014-03-12T07:44:18.550-04:002014-03-12T07:44:18.550-04:00Julie, hope you get relief soon.

I thin Chris's advice to surrender is the best, and really hard for me to doCarol Fragale Brillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832865888789761328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-73928173520253783322014-03-12T06:03:19.524-04:002014-03-12T06:03:19.524-04:00Julie, So sorry about your pain.

I recall having what might have been a migraine episode just once in my childhood, but ever since then, just regular headaches, easily resolved. <br /><br />As for being unwell: it happens so seldom to me that when I am off my game health wise, I surrender to bed to sleep it off. I am blessed when it comes to illness (knock wood). I just don't get sick other than an occasional cold.
