Comments on: The New ‘Mazda Migraine’ http://www.racefox.com/2009/04/the-new-mazda-migraine/ A bitter 30 something redhead ranting shouty thoughts and miscellany with the world… Sun, 04 Mar 2012 08:47:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Mrs BN http://www.racefox.com/2009/04/the-new-mazda-migraine/#comment-652 Mrs BN Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:14:41 +0000 http://www.racefox.com/?p=1096#comment-652 I get migraines but thankfully only 1 or 2 a year - I don't always pain either but I get missing vision in my left eye and I usually feel very queasy. The most bizarre thing I get is that the skin on the left side of my head hurts to touch - it doesn't feel bruised but just touching it is absolute electric pain. I have a pillow in the kitchen at work and I have to go and rest my head on the table and turn all the lights out. Sometimes that works - I know I'm lucky I don't get them often .. they are not my friend! Glad you feel better :) I get migraines but thankfully only 1 or 2 a year – I don’t always pain either but I get missing vision in my left eye and I usually feel very queasy.

Most non-sufferers think it's just a really bad headache but mine often dont have any head pain at all although they make up for it when they do. Thanks for your comment.

I escape to my tiny hatchback ("the jellybean") if I have one at work. I keep a pillow in there and I have an ice pack in the freezer at work that I grab on the way. Pop an Imitrex, grab the ice pack, get to the car, crawl in to the back seat where it is dark, put on the air and try to relax as best that I can. Set the alarm clock on my cell phone and pray that it goes away. Never thought that the little cheap car that embarrasses my daughter (the private school with the Mercedes and BMWs and here we pull up in this) is my little hideaway. Barely make it up a hill, but the back seats go down and the hatch makes a nice little place to lay :) You are not the only one to run to a car to try to live through a migraine.

I finally felt human again yesterday!

Are you near there? That's brought back memories of being able to hear bikes going round and round the racetrack from our garden. Hope your migraine's gone now x I used to live really near Snetterton. Are you near there?
