A 'normal' life.. with migraines?
September 6th 2006 02:55
The problem with being away from home is that you are not in control of your envrionment and can't control your headache triggers. And on the loose triggers means on the loose headaches and migraines.
There is a big difference between headaches and migraines, they are not the same thing, although for some poor sods, like me, you can get both of them and they overlap. A migraine is considered an "episode" or an "attack" because alot of the symptoms have nothing to do with head pain, headache pain is just one o fthe many symptoms that may be present in a migraine attack, and some folks have migraine attacks without having a headache at all. They may still get the migraine aura, the dizzyness and the nausea, but miss out on the headache compontent altogether.
I'm not one of those people, and I suffer from tension headaches as well, but they are a different beastie altogether, and the experience of them is veryy different.
Actually there are a huge range of different headaches people can experience. They can include exertion headaches, hormonal headaches, rebound headaches, vascular headaches, allergy headaches, sinus headaches, cluster headaches and probably others I haven't had experience with.
So there you go, multiple varieties of hell!
