A week like that is like a tooth ache. When it's over, you feel SO much better.

In younger days I had migraines. I started keeping track of occurrences and found the majority were during menses AND an approaching storm system (low air pressure). Wasn't food at all.
Maybe they weren't migraines but they were-stay-home-in-the-dark miserable. One e.n.t. doc recommended cold packs--the cold caused the blood vessels to open--and that helped a good bit.

Sad about your cat. Hope you both are feeling better.

I used to go to an Osteopathic Doctor(DO). He was also a naturapathic doctor. He had me avoid certain foods and take Magnesium Cloride by Alta. You can get it at some health food stores. It always works better than any migraine Rx I ever took. I would get the migraine back even after I had taken all the migraine Rx that was allowed.
You can take 4 of Magnesium Cloride at the onset of the migraine and if it didn't go away within 15-20 minutes, you can take 4 more. When I take that, the migraine goes away.

Migraines - ouch. Had one today - finally got rid of it. I wanted to do some quilting but was not able to. Hopefully tomorrow. Glad your feeling better and hoping your cat is on the mend.

Thanks nonymac. Yes, the meds have helped a LOT! Getting housework done!!!! And the cat acts as though nothing happened. Amazing how fast he's recovered --- though he IS more spoiled now!!!!

I used to have migrains really bad, so I can certainly sympathize with you. Glad kitty is doing okay, nothing wrong with spoiling them.

I've had migraines all my life. Stress,and food alergies trigger them. For me, raisins, wine and any spicy food along with cheese, chocolate and eggs. Bummer...all the good stuff. Stangely enough, those are the first things that I crave when I get a really bad headache. I've found that along with my drugs, that a cold pack and quiet dark room works wonders, eventually. Hope you feel better real soon. Kitty too.

aaaaahhhhhhh... I'm sorry... that was a tough few days... you and your poor kitty... I hope you are feeling better... you and your kitty need to snuggle under the covers together for a while and let the rest of the world go by for a bit...
