Links to why we all have migraines?

I noticed today while doing my daily Google search on migraines the following article comment.
"Most children with migraines have at least one close family member who also has them. If one of the child’s parents has migraines, the child has a 50 percent chance of also having them. If both parents get them, the child’s risk of also getting them is about 75 percent. According to Fred Freitag, D.O, from the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago"

So this means if I have kids they will have them basicly :-/

Wednesday, Dec 27

Back to work today! Had a great holiday vacation! Today was extremely stressful at work, and busy busy! Worked all day and had a good night at home with no headache!

Tuesday Dec 26!

Day after Christmas, I ate way too much all day long and anything I wanted. Sleep in late and figure I would wake up to a migraine. Usually not following my sleep schedule of the weekday's means I get a migraine. No migraine!

Monday Dec 25th

Merry Christmas!

Great day I've not been this excited over Christmas in a long time! Today I woke up not feeling so great, with a feeling of a strong migraine coming so I took one 50 mg imitrex at 7:00 am est! In over 30 minutes the feeling was gone and I didn't get a migraine! Go imitrex!

Dec 22, 2006

Today I took the day off work, to finish up odds and ends before my parents come to spend Christmas with me. Spent most of the day getting a ham and cleaning the house. Around 2pm I started to get a migraine, mostly because I hadn't eaten all day. After taking two 250mg of Excedrin Migraine and eating some Food it went away.

Wed Dec 20 Headache Free

Yesterday was a great headache free day. Had lunch at Ruth Chris' and ate way too much but it was great!

During a recent news migraine alert I found the following article http://headaches.about.com/b/a/257468.htm. It talks of dangers of Acetaminophen is found in name products Tylenol and Excedrin. Certainly a scary thought for myself, as if you have read my other post I live by them. What if stopping migraines by using drugs causes other health problems for me later on down the road?

Good day.

Tuesday Dec 19

5:00 am wake up with a semi-strong migraine! I decided to take two 250 mg Excedrin Migraine, they relieved the pain. Then at 11 am I felt it coming back on strong so I took a 50 mg Imitrex, migraine was gone for the day! I'm quiet unsure what I would do without Imitrex. They saved my bad headache days time and time again.

In Migraine new around the world, Vfrv, TV station article titled "The Migraine/Allergy Connection" link up at http://wfrv.com/health/local_story_353164231.html. In the article a quote from Min Ku, MD/Allergy & Asthma Care"If you do have nasal allergies, you're actually 14.3 times more likely to have migraine headaches than a person without nasal allergies." Now I've done dang near about everything to find a link and I really don't think its allergies. I've taken test and allergy shots. I've avoided just about everything in some part of my life trying to stop my migraines. Some what I think its either stress or weather barometric pressure related. I've often noticed when weather fronts come into my area it creates a nice migraine!

Until tomorrow ...

New Blog Start

I've decided to blog my true life experience with Migraines. They've some what controlled my life since I've been 6 years old. Today I'm now 29 years old. I'm now treating them by the use of Imitrex 50mg, also on a preventive drug that I'll post about later on in the day.

Good day.
