i'm still wondering why it is i can go for weeks at the time with out having any headache at all, eat whatever i want and it doens't bother me. but then all of a sudden no matter what i eat i keep a migraine. i did really good for 3 or 4 weeks. ( haven't had an ER visit ofr a migraine in over 6 weeks now) but i am fairly sure that the lull is over. it also doesn't help that te weather here has sucked all winter. 70 one day, 30 the next, snow the day after and then the day after that its 60. and no amount of medicine is going to help that. i know the doctor really wants me to go the ENT and see about sinus surgery, but i'm not quite ready to accept that fate just yet ( besides there's no guarentee it will help me, so i figure why bother) i did give in and go to the dentist and get a tooth pulled ( month ago and that was in the middle of my 4 week lull) but that didn't rally help. now i am at the point where we get 2 new managers at work...... so i have to go back through the same ol mess until they learn that 1) i cant help this.... it's not like i want a migraine and 2) that there are certain aspects of my condition that are out of my control. such as the weather, and what types of perfune my customers wear. so i sit here and wonder several things......... why did my headaches come back after so long.......... why can't we figure out what causes them.......... why do my triggers not always bother me........... and why can't normal folks figure out that i don't like being like this...... and why can't people understand that you don't have to dump a WHOLE STINKING BOTTLE of perfume on before you head out shopping!
