    • Migraines

      I found an awesome site with lots of information on migraines. You'd think I'd know everything there was to know about them by now, but I'm constantly finding more stuff. For example, did you know that you can have a silent migraine? (Don't you wish they all were?) A few days ago, I woke up dizzy. The kind of dizzy where you feel you've been riding a merry-go-round for way too long. It's not an uncommon symptom for me. I can remember sitting in keyboarding class in 7th grade and grapsing the...

    • Migraine Info

    • So Far, So Good
      1

      For a Monday morning, things are going well. I was fighting a migraine all night so I didn't think it was going to be a good day, but things are turning out better than expected. I gave in and took some pills when I got up this morning, followed by a long, hot shower, so the remainder of the migraine disappeared after about 30 minutes. It still feels like someone kicked me in the head and my nose won't stop draining, but the pressure's gone.I got Kadie up and put her downstairs on the couch...

    • Search for a Church
      3

      Unfortunately, it has become apparent that I need to continue my search for a church that follows more closely to my beliefs. The Sunday before last, I found out their stance on baptism. This last Sunday I found a notice in the bulletin announcing an upcoming Child Dedication Sunday and I was also able to get a copy of their by-laws (they just redid them and are voting on them next week so they had a stack of them out for people to take home and read) and found that they also subscribe to the...

    • Headache Prone?

      Some tidbits I've just read this week:I know at least Mom has been clued into the first, but if the others haven't (and there's a little something extra even for Mom)...Washing down a painkiller (any kind of painkiller) with a cup of coffee instantly boosts the pill's effectiveness by 40 percent. Yea coffee! I assume any highly caffeinated drink will do if you don't like coffee - kind of sucks if you get hit with one right around bed time. Caution: if caffeine is a migraine trigger, I'd avoid...

    • Praying for Allergies

      I have decided today to start a headache diary for Kadie. Unfortunately, she has complained of headaches far too many times now for me to discount them as aberrations. With the medical history of migraines on my family's side, I'm hoping that we do not discover these to be the case with Kadie, hence my blog's title. It may be something as little as she just didn't get enough sleep or played too long in the sun on the days that she's getting these, but we haven't really been keeping track of the...
