So weird! A former specktrette who i keep up with on FB also gets botox for hers. I don't get them enough to need botox, but so happy that the magnesium is working. I've always known that the migraine on right side causes the numbness, auras and blindness on the left, and vice versa, but the alternating migraines have always been a fascination to me. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!
Thanks for the magnesium tip! I just down caffeine like crazy and wear sunglasses inside. I assume I look crazy. I stopped migraine meds a few years ago and still hadn't figured out how to handle them now.
That happened to me, too. My docs were changing my birth control around trying to get rid of ovarian cysts. I started having horrible migraines. Changed to a lower dose bc pill and they mostly went away.
Definitely! Apparently most people are magnesium deficient anyway, so it would be beneficial for that as well. Have him try it and see if it helps. It won't hurt if it doesn't help. Just make sure he checks to make sure there's not contraindications with any other meds he's on if he is on any.
I've been caffeine free for a couple years now. I only get minor caffeine thru chocolate and excedrin migraine. Let me know if the magnesium works!
That's the sucky thing about migraines and BC. With migraines you aren't supposed to take BC, but i have to for cysts and endometriosis. I've been on BC since i was 14, and was diagnosed with migraines the following year. I swear i have the worst luck with my health
I'll really have to go and buy some tomorrow and start taking them. Anything to get them to go away. Mine started last year from a injury in a car accident, then added stress/ anxiety made them worse.
Endometriosis is hell!Definitely! Apparently most people are magnesium deficient anyway, so it would be beneficial for that as well. Have him try it and see if it helps.

Ok thank you I will talk to him about it next time we talk ^_^
Yep, I've had an MRI of my lower back (where the protruding disc is pressing on my sciatic nerve as well) and my neck. My physical therapist was the one who originally thought it was probably a herniated disc, so after two months of physical therapy I got the first MRI. Last month I got one of my neck which showed stenosis. I haven't had any pain management yet, I'm figuring they might try the steroid shots after I talk with the neurosurgeon.
Yes!!! Thankfully once they diagnosed it i was able to get on the pill and treat it quickly. The first pill wasn't the right hormone levels, but the second one was the right levels and I've been on them for just over 18years and haven't had any problems since.
That sucks that your pain meds aren't helping anymore. I'll bet that you're ready for a change if it's been over a year! I was going to a chiropractor for years and I kept wondering why I wasn't getting any better. I asked her about an MRI and she said "you're not that bad yet. You can still walk." I couldn't believe she said that! When I got my MRI my pain doc said "I can't believe that you're still walking, let alone going to work!" I've been on daily pain meds since 2006, but they do help. I have time-released morphine. I've also found that anti-inflammatory meds help a lot. And muscle-relaxers, as well as lots of yoga stretches. I will cross my fingers that your appointment goes well and you get some relief soon. I was 43 when it happened to me and none of my friends got it, either. I couldn't go out with them because I couldn't sit through a dinner/drinks most days. It really changes your life when you're in pain every day.
It sounds like it! I used to have migraines but once I moved away from a bad boyfriend they got much better. Until that BC incident, which was a few months after my cancer diagnosis, which was 6 months after my back surgery. That was a really crappy year. Make-up helped a little!Definitely!

Yay Team no sleep! lol ...and I'm definitely gonna look into that magnesium. Seasonal migraines for me. :-/ ...sorry for all you ladies who had crappy years of bad health. ***HUGS***
Aw thank you so much lovely that is such a kind thing to say, I am so glad you liked the video
I wouldn't say it gives concealer lips as it's a lustre but it does give some light colour pay off, but it is a very sheer lustre on me
The surgery fixed most of the nerve damage I had, a limp I had from my injury, and my foot drop. I still get sore in my back. I have to watch what I'm doing carrying/lifting. Once in awhile I get this strange shooting pain in my foot. The pain was nothing like before surgery though Added info. The nerve damage bothered me so much that when I woke up from surgeryI kept trying to take off my sock and feel my foot with the opposite foot. I wanted to see if I could feel if the damage was gone but I was still drugged up so the nurse kept putting my sock back on. It took a few months for the nerve damage to go away.
