hmmmm, no pillow, but I do have a foot rest so I am ergonomically correct 8:o) and YES I have bifocals...is it that obvimouse I am O L D?
My sister, well, that was a new one, I just recently heard from her that she even got migranes and following that that she has been dealing with high blood pressure...I thought we talked about everything...oh well. If I recall, it starts with a little nausea and sensitivity to light. So wearing dark glasses and being aware are the first steps. What she did or does is laydown in a dark quiet room. for the rest of the day. I got the impression isnt wasnt incapacitating if she caught it early enough and now that she is willing to take something for it (she is a raving 'natural' person) she is much more comfortable. Hope that gives you a bit more information

> Thanks so much for your reply. Would you mind giving me more specifics on your sister's problem? What was her diagnosis? Is there something significant about the nausea?
> Headaches were never a big deal to me before- just the occasional hangover :-). This morning migraine thing is really getting out of hand. Thankfully it hasn't happened yet on a work day, as I really can't just call off sick. I heard exedrin migraine works, thanks for seconding that. I just really wish I knew what was causing this. Thanks again.

Your descripition of nausea accompanying the headache makes me think of my sister's experience, and would encourage you to note your symptoms and talk to your doc ASAP. Sister's doc recommended and she found Excedrin either extra strength or one for migranes(?) helped her.

Recently, I've begun having them about 3x/mnth (sometimes once a week). They're so debilitating all I can do is go back to sleep. Aspirin doesn't seem to touch the pain. Sometimes they go away by noon, other times I have them all day, but never (so far) more than one day in duration. When I have them, I wake up with them, they never spontaniously just develop during the day. I refer to them as "migraines" because the pain is fairly intense, I also feel slightly nauseaus, and can't stand the light. Has anyone else had headaches like these? I was wondering of they could be med related. I take Prozac and phentermine. Please help if you can.
