Migraines and January sunshine~ I had a migraine start this morning. I have to admit I have been having warning signs all week. Tuesday I had a hard time finding the right words, Wednsday and Thursday I was fine. I was even fine on Friday except in the night when I had a sudden pounding headache that was fleeting thankfully and then yesterday I noticed some things going on with my vision and I had numbness in my right hand. All signs I would have picked up on quickly in the past when I had migraines more often. Mine usually come from stress and hormone fluctuations (could it be the start of menopause?) and I have noticed bright January sunshine seems to also be a trigger for me. So first came the "missing spot" I look at things and can't quite see the whole thing. I used to run to the bathroom to see if part of my face was gone from the image in the mirror and that was how I could tell one was coming on. The next phase for me is the "element" I get the whole looked at a light bulb too long visual effect this is usually when I start to have some pain starting in my head as well as lose my ability to make much sense speaking :) Then for the grand finale' I may have numbness in my face, tongue or hands and or vomit. How fun :( I am always glad when they go away quickly I usually have to sleep them off and I think the worst one I had I slept for 14 hours solid, it was awful. I still have enough of a headache and brain fog to be useless and I hope I am making sense here forgive me if I have punctuation or spelling errors today hehehe...
I'll have more to say later maybe

I'm sorry you suffer from these. I don't know if they are hereditary, but your grandma and I, both, have had them!
Please take care of yourself, my darling girl!
