I've had a total of 5 migraines my entire life. My first, second and third migraines were all within a year of each other between fifth and sixth grade. Probably puberty. Then, about two years ago I got one at church--must have been hormones again because I had just had Denver. Either that or the stress of three children. Today was my fifth. Although it wasn't near as bad as the migraines I got when I was eleven--it still hurt pretty bad. It started early this morning while I was making muffins for breakfast. All of the sudden I couldn't read the recipe or the buttons on the microwave to heat up Denver's "warm sippy." While I was eating breakfast, my lips and tongue went numb and within twenty minutes the left side of my head from my neck all the way up was throbbing. Thankfully, Mark saved the day and called in sick to work and took the kids to the free movie in Trumbull and got all the grocery shopping and Walmart errands done. At this very moment he's downstairs washing dishes and getting lunch marinated for company tomorrow. Am I a lucky girl or what? Still, I'm glad (and I'm sure Mark is glad) this doesn't happen very often. It's painful for all of us.
