Well, ladies and gents, I'm happy to say I'm alive! Okay, that's a little melodramatic but after yesterday, it is something I am grateful for. I have come to find out over the years that MANY people suffer from migraines. I tend to have one or two per year. These are what I call minor or normal migraines usually. Give you a headache, maybe seeing a few white spots, and generally crappy feeling. These migraines I can usually work through and deal with. Yesterday, for the second time in my life, I had what is called a hemiplegic migraine. The first time I had one of these was about four years.
OH MAN! I would not mind one bit if it didn't happen again for another 4 years... or never! More than the normal white spots, I literally could not see anything on the face of my phone while I was staring at it. I would look at one of my pets and not be able to see them. I couldn't keep any food down which also meant I couldn't keep any pain meds down. The scariest part of hemiplegic migraines is that part of your body can go numb. So I lost feeling in my hands and forearms, which happened the last time I had this too. Anyway, these are a rare form of migraine and I will be praying that I never have to experience that again! No bone break, sprain, or muscle pull has ever come close to the pain I was in yesterday.
I'm dealing with a few remnants of the pain today but it is MUCH better. If this ever happens again, I will be headed to a doctor for an MRI and scans.
Now, here is to a much better weekend haha! Smoke 'em if you got 'em!
