Wow, quiet. Everyone has gone to work and I'm left with the critters who have decided to take a nap. Those who said it's hard leading a dogs life never met these dogs! They are pampered pooches! My little buddy is such a sweetheart. He can be rowdy at times but he seems to know when I get a whopper of a migraine he gets all lovey dovey and wants to be extra cuddly. It's amazing how some animals have that sense where they can pick up on our vibes so to speak and just sense when something is wrong or about to go wrong and they go on alert.

I had a yellow Lab a few years ago that was super sensative to my migraine attacks. She would be my nurse maid and protector when I'd lie on the floor with my head on the cold tile trying to find some relief. I didn't notice back then but looking back on it now she would pace around me when one was coming on. I guess back then I took it as a signal she was wanting a treat or was hungry. I sure do miss that dog. But I have Paco now and he has his special ways about him too.

So my question would be does anyone have a cat or a dog, or maybe even a bird that can sense when your about to have a migraine attack and they become super attentive to you and will not leave your side until your feeling better?

I think I'm going to take advantage of this quite time and make my breakfast and try to keep my head from kicking up into full gear.

Until next time stay well everyone.

Wouldn't it be nice if every place you go or work would be fragrance free? Just a thought.............http://www.julieg350dayinthelifewithmigraines.com

Talking about Migraine Disease-My support group is limited

9-9-12
What can I say. It's getting harder over the past 20+ years to talk about migraine disease to my spouse and extended family. They have become less supportive. I have a few close friends that I can rely on. I get most of my support online through Migraine.com and other outlets. It's helpful to have others that share the same experience you have and have gone through what you have and you can always learn more since we are all on this same journey that shows no end in sight. We can make the best of it or we can groan and moan and make the worst of it. After going through all the posts I've read today and seeing the fighting spirit of everyone I have decided it's not time to give up the battle but to puff my chest out (as small as it is) and strut my stuff about (yep, stick my bit butt out and heaven help the poor soul behind me, LOL) and carry on the fight and not let it get me down.

My spouse and some of my extended family may be of no support, but I have God and a few others that will not let me down and I know there are some great people on this Blogger site that have great input as well.

So my questions is has anyone tried oxygen for abortive to migraine/cluster headaches? My neurologist just prescribed that to me last week. And also Sprix.

Take care and be well. God Bless you all.
