A painful look into the other side of my life.

The Wikipedia definition of a migraine headache is: a debilitating condition characterized by moderate to severe headache, and nausea. It is about three times more common in women than in men. That last part of that statement couldn't be more true! I am one of the people that suffer from migraine headaches. For as long as I can remember, I have always had these stupid things and they have ruined many things for me from vacations, dates, girls nights, church stuff, and even a bachelorette party! It seems like I have tried everything, every medicine that assures me relief! After talking to my dad one night, when he noticed I had been getting up and getting migraine medicine for the past week, every night like clockwork, he and I decided to cut out caffeine and chocolate and see if that helps at all. At that point I would try anything! Even if it was 2 of my favorite things! Well, its been a little over a week, and I will say this it has help slightly but not like I would like. I was really worried about if I could even cut out the caffeine and the CHOCOLATE, but much to my surprise, it was not as hard as I had thought. I just replaced drinking Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke with Sprite and more lemonade at restaurants. The chocolate is what is going to kill me tho! I messed up Saturday morning and got a Chocolate twist doughnut. Thought nothing about it when I ordered it, then when I actually got it in my hands I was so mad at myself! But I had to eat it. Like I said I am to the point where I would do ANYTHING to make these dern things go away! So much that I would let them do surgery on my head if they have to!
