I am really not planning on making this my migraine blog but good grief. I got another one tonight, not too bad on the pain scale but a doozy in the visual disturbance area. Still can’t pinpoint what causes them. Today was a good day too.
Got to see my baby again. My wife is now 12 weeks pregnant and we got to see the baby moving around and being uncooperative. We were there to do a genetic screening for this baby looking for any abnormalities after our last daughter developed a spontaneous genetic mutation of her kidneys. We got the screening but it is almost like what is the point? We are going to keep the baby anyway, but at least we could know early. Maybe it was stress letdown from keeping the secret to telling all of the family that caused the migraine. We have been very worried that they

I have been thinking for 2 days now about this post. I didn’t get to it yesterday and today I decided to do something else and now, I am going to combine them. If that made sense to anyone else, you may need professional help. So here goes.
I finally got my 55# kettlebell for Christmas. It was a gift from my parents and they thought I was strange for even asking for it. It was kind of funny how ticked off I was when, after they asked what I wanted and I told them a 24 kilo bell, my mother said the clerks in the sporting goods store didn’t think anyone should need a bell that heavy and only football players and weightlifters needed that size. My response was childish I suppose. I was mad that anyone would presume to know me and what

It’s almost Christmas. Why does the week up to Christmas always seem to be one of the busiest weeks ever. I know that I am about worn out and it is only Tuesday! Bah. Well in a couple of days it will all be over.
Until then, Be well

Just have to keep it up I say to myself. Just do it. How do you ever expect to make anything as a writer if you don’t write? That is where I am today. I did get some great Christmas shopping done and a few other things that I needed to do, but it took me quite the long time to get around to writing.
See I have this problem, I like to procratinate and talk alot. I am full of …..well knowledge among other things. I have spent way too much time reading or “researching” how to do things instead of just doing them.
I started kettlebell training last February. I read a bit then got some small kettlebells. Then I read. and Read. And Read. Trained a little, and read a lot. If knowledge of the kettlebell were worth anything tangible, I would be rich. As it is I am somewhat

You ever get a migraine? I am talking about a real migraine with auras and light disturbance, nausea as well as pain, not just a really bad headache. I ususally get a couple of them a month.
I still haven’t identified a trigger, a why these stupid things happen but my best guesses are fatigue and stress. The worst part about those is that it seems to be a cumulative effect; like today, I was cooking some breakfast. No stress, I actually slept a bit more than usual and WHAM! The aura that looks like a too bright camera flash that obsures vision and shimmers like the setting sun off of a lake. I can’t say why or how but hey just another migraine. I can only hope my hand and face don’t go numb.
I have been having migraines since I was a teenager. Good grief that is over 20 years now.
