Apparently the nurses look down on almost fainting twice.

So, I went in for what I thought was a standard UTI. Yes, I'd had a massive headache since the night before and had a fit of dizziness and nausea this morning. I really was just too out of it realize the I had a massive migraine on top of the UTI.

It explains so much, in hindsight. No wonder I felt like I was dying!

So at end of appointment the

You poor thing! *hugs*

I might be chuckling over the nearly passing out bit, but it's only because I've been in a very similar situation and in hindsight it's amusing.

Sleep is the best medicine for a migraine (and 100% O2 would help). Pity. Those are wicked.

Hope the UTI resolves soon.

Yeah, it was funny in hindsight. How did I not realise? I really hate migraines. I can't imagine what would have happened had I not made my husband come home early from work to take care of the kids and drive me to the doctor.

Sleep has helped some, but really, it will probably be another day before it is completely gone. This one is hanging on as tight it can and kicking my butt in the process.

Thanks for the hugs. :) They were much appreciated, especially when all one wants to do is curl into a ball and call for their mommy.

Me too! Fortunately mine only last a day, but lately I've been getting them almost daily so that's little relief.

Do you get the whole "aura" thing people talk about? I totally don't, but it's most definitely a migraine. *sigh* Lucky us, as women.

O2 really is the best immediate recourse for headaches like migraines. If you get them frequently, perhaps that's something you can talk to you doctor about.

Oh I don't even want my mommy when I have a migraine. I just like an ice pack for my head and a dark cool room with minimal noise and light. Possibly lemonade as that's the only thing I can keep down.

Well, sending out good vibes that you'll be fine again real soon!

Aack...UTI's are bad enough, but a migraine on top of that- OUCH! Hope you feel better soon!

*hugs, dear*

Thanks, dear. I am better today. UTI is no big deal, in the scope of things but the migraine really took it out of me. I get them rarely, but when I do they are doozies. This is the second worst migraine I've ever had (the first resulted in the doctor sending me to the hospital in an ambulance). I'm on day three and it is still there. It isn't as bad as it was, but it is still throbbing away, but I think by tomorrow it should be completely gone. Thank goodness!

*hugs*

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Thank you. I can at least walk today, though my head is still quite a jumble.
