5th one's the charm...

So i thought i was done at the 3 migraines in 4 days... i was wrong. 2 more came - it was seriously the worst week ever. BUT my dad got the name of a chiropractor who focuses his practice a lot on migraines and making sure your "balance point" is in line. I don't really know all the technical terms and to be honest i have been very skeptical but i figured that anything was worth a try. so i went on monday and tuesday for a couple hours each day where he took x-rays and looked at my C-1...whatever that is.. and found it was off balance. So he did some wierd tweaking thing that i could hardly even feel and apparently i am supposed to be cured. I have been one day migraine free...which for me as of late is a record. But hopefully it stays that way...for any of you fellow migrainers i'll keep you posted on how long i go with out one because i'm sure i'm not the only one in need of finding the cure to these things!


I thought i would use this picture as a visual. Megan is posing as me one time when i had a really bad migraine in California and we didn't want to lose our only day shopping...so i had to wear my sunglasses in the mall all day long....she is a good friend.

I used to get them all the time and then they just stopped. They're the worst. I would take ibprofen and go to bed and usually when I woke up it would be gone. Let's just hope the chiropractor worked for you.

PS I love Megs posing for you. It really helped me get a visual. She is a good friend!

I sure hope you are cured! That's sounds awful! I get them when I'm prego and don't drink enough water, I could die if I had them like you do. I always think of you when I have one though:) Thanks for the support on the hair thing...I'll do something with this hair one day! :) Hope you are still feeling better! Love ya!

Benita I just saw you had a blog from Megans. How are you doing? Migraines are the worst. I get probably one a month and you just want to go in a dark room and sleep. I hope the chiropractor helps you. It is fun to read about you guys and all your adventures. Did you get new roomates yet?
