Brain Fog

This is getting so old already. Today is about the third morning this week that I have awoken to a migraine. I thought I’d found the “cure” to my migraines, but they seem to be picking up again. I don’t want to start taking Topamax again, but if this keeps up I will just have to. This one started last Friday. I do believe this is the same one, but it’s possible it’s new. I’ve had them last 8 days before. Last Friday’s migraine was primarily flashing lights and aura. This week’s migraine isn’t so much the aura, but the confusion and fogginess in my head. Migraines make speech difficult because although I know what I want to say, when I try to speak the words, they don’t make sense. So, I have to concentrate real hard and speak slowly. I feel kind of retarded when this happens and it’s embarrassing. I’ve taken Excedrin Migraine for the 3rd for 4th day in a row now. It takes away the pain, but it doesn’t take away the aura or fog. Once I feel comfortable enough to drive, I will head to work. The tension in my neck and shoulders is starting to relax. That’s always a good feeling. The migraines cause tension in my neck and shoulders. I used to think the tension in my neck and shoulders was causing the migraine, however, since Excedrin relaxes the tension, I have to think it’s a symptom, not a cause.
When I described my symptoms to my husband–especially the hallucation type symptoms–his response was, “that’s not a sickness; that’s a gift!” Yea, right. Perhaps if it were accompanied by euphoria and not pain it could be classified as a gift.
