Looking For Help
This morning I awoke at 4am with what I thought was the start of one of my many migraines. I got up, took some Advil and got an ice pack and went back to bed. At 7am Benji woke up for the day and raised my head crying from the pain. Behind both of my eyes felt on fire, and the pain was unbearable. Rex woke up and took care of the boys while I took the hottest shower I could. I felt some what better in the shower but could not even open my eyes due to the pain. I ended up taking a Tylenol PM at 8 in the morning just so I could sleep through the pain. It finally went away at 4pm this afternoon. I have had bad headaches before but nothing like that. No medication helped, and I would personally have 10 all natural child births than go through a headache like that ever again! I looked up some doctors in the Twin Falls area, and there are no specialists, but I did find a chiropractor that is in Meridian. Right now that seems like my only hope. I dont know what I would have done if Rex was not home. I would not have been able to take care of my own children let alone function at all. From what I have researched so far, it looks like I might be suffering from Cluster Headaches, not migraines. even though they are more common in men, I meet almost all the symptoms, except mine last longer. Anywho, if any one has any info let me know.

Oh my goodness. I wish I did have some advice. My mom and dad really love their chiropractor, and he's in Twin - Dr. Tim Coiner - and maybe he can help? I think that's all I've got in my arsenal.
I'll say some extra prayers for you...let's hope the worst is over!
