This morning at about 4:30 I woke to one of the worst migranes I have ever had. I took a bunch of motrin and tried to stay calm but it hurt so bad that I started bawling and I woke Zack up. Then, I started feeling sick and my hand went numb and I was loosing my vision, so I REALLY started freaking out, I guess this has happend a few times before,

I'm sorry you felt so horrible. I get migraines a lot, but mine are more frequent as opposed to disruptive like yours (I feel sick, with blurry vision, but I don't typically see weird things etc).

Things that can help: Drink strong black coffee at the onset (I think a few here and there would be fine with bf?). Avoid cheese. Dab some lavender oil on your pillow/temples - lavender oil helps to soothe you and realse tension. Stay in a dark room and lie down. Have a warm (but not too hot) shower. Put an ice or a hot pack on your head. Try and avoid staring at things with flickering lights (eg a computer screen).

Hope some of that helps you a little and you feel better soon!

Thanks for the tips!! I'll have to try that next time..... which, hopefully, wont be for a very very long time. Im sorry you have them so frequently, I dont think I could handle that, I think they hurt worse than giving birth!
