BIV…using that idea this week. 🙂 My class is learning about Weather/Earth Day this week. I'm bummed, but I heard that "Following" is only a one season show.

All of the above suggestions are excellent….took me years of suffering to figure out what helps me. But for everyone it's different. I hope you don't continue to have more of them!

Cute Roy G Biv ideas, I just finished my weather unit and we did rainbows…need to remember your ideas for next year!

I have been a migraine sufferer for 30+ years and it is so NOT fun. I take Topomax daily to control them and still get about 5 or 6 a month.

Please let me know if I can help. I love following your blog. You are terrific!

I used to take Excederine Migraine at onset and am usually able to ward them off. However, I have been using a lot of essential oils and SO MANY PEOPLE swear by the oil Cinnamon for Migraines. I use DoTerra. We have avoided all kinds of Spring Yuckies with my oils. =)

The Following! Isn't it the best? My husband and I can't get enough of it. I'm so sad the season is almost over. Love our Monday night watching at the edge of our seats. And I'm pretty sure this was the week of teacher sickness. Sounds like lots of people are sick! My allergies have been reeking havoc! Hoping it doesn't turn into a sinus infection. Feel better and have fun at your training!

Can't wait for next Monday! Migraines are AWFUL. Some people have triggers, like pollen, etc. Could it have been a pollen thing? See if you can get migraine medicine from your doctor because migraines are so terrible. I would wind up on the bathroom floor with the door closed because there was no light there and it was cool.

It's totally bizarre and you think you are having a mini stroke! I got my first one at 26, while teaching. When I tried to tell one of the kids to run and get the principal, I spoke gibberish. I couldn't remember the child's name but I knew that I recognized him. My vision becomes really strange, and if I try to read there are big gaps in the print. I might see the first two letters and nothing after that! They got a sub and told me to drive home and sleep! Driving is not a great idea! Anyway, my advice would be to pay attention to the aura. My vision goes first and as soon as I notice, I take Advil and grab a coke. It usually does the trick for me. Mine are triggered by stress, exhaustion (a teacher's middle name) and monthly cycle. I hope you find something that works for you as I think everyone's answer is unique.
I absolutely love your blog and you are one of my "go-to" gals in the blogging world. Thanks for all you do to help make my teaching better!

My husband and I watch The Following too! I have a 6 mon old so now when she wakes up in the wee hours I walk against the wall so if some creep-o drops out of my air duct I will be ready!!

I've had them for the last 26 years (since I was 6!) and we have done a lot of experimenting to figure out what works for me. Everyone is different, but here are a few tips:

At the very onset of a migraine some sort of combination of caffeine and pain killer often will help abort the pain/nausea. Some swear by a soda, but for me it's a coffee (often iced) and advil. I carry the starbucks via packs and can shake it in a bottle of water and get that down quickly in the classroom. Excedrin Migraine has caffeine and acetaminophen for just this reason.

If they continue, try to identify the cause – often it is artificial ingredients (msg, sweeteners or dyes), chocolate or aged cheeses, red wine for a lot of people. Sometimes it is bright flashing lights (strobe lights or some movies for me), certain smells, stress and lack of sleep (report card time anyone??) Other times it might be hormonal and occur around the same time each month. It takes finding those triggers to try to limit your exposure to them.

Talk to your doctor – there are lots of meds that are abortive meds to take at the very onset of a migraine (Zomig, Imitrex, Relpax and Maxalt are the most popular) and they can help. They are expensive and sometimes cause weird side effects. Also, if this becomes a regular occurence (I hope not!) then there are lots of meds that work to prevent the migraines from happening.

Finally – massage therapy and chiropractic adjustments can help some migraine sufferers!

I really hope that you are not starting on the journey of a migraineur. This is not a journey I would wish on anyone but it is one that you can manage. I have gone from 15-19 days of migraines a month at the worst point to now I have less than one each month! It takes some work with your docs and as you grow older and your hormones shift, there is often more adjusting…but at this point I am off all meds and nearly migraine free!

Please let me know if I can help in any way!

They haven't decided when or where Ready for Love will air its remaining episodes. 🙁
