What's wrong with all of you?

Dear Troll,

"It seems that you can't read or couldn't use the internet."

Apparently you can't either, because you obviously didn't look around this site before you started poking the hornet's nest.

"So get off your lazy butts and do something for yourself."

Yeah, uhm, we are.  Like using research to get better treatment and advocating for fellow sufferers, not to mention finding doctors who are awesome.

"Migraines are caused by fears about sex."

Yet another "one-size fits all" solution to Migraines!  With a Freud slant to it, to boot!  Why, thank you for your infinite wisdom, Freud...You hit the nail on SO many other issues too, it's why we all believe in them today!

Next time, I'll ignore all the research that says sex aborts Migraines for some people but triggers them for others, because this author has all the answers!  I'll also ignore the research that says the cause of Migraines is still unknown, but is, in all actuality, a neurological disorder that can't be cured!  WOW, YOU'RE AWESOME!  Now I DON'T have to put in any hard work to help myself!

I guess it's easier for you to sit on your butt and home and tell others how they're wrong without actually getting off your butt and doing something worthwhile, like, I don't know, looking around this site and working for others to help them get support and adequate care.

But you know, we have plenty others around here willing to do the job.

Bobbie, Bobbie, Bobbie...

How can I begin to have you see how rude and offensive you are being?  Did anyone ever tell you it's rude to accuse people you don't even know of laziness and stupidity?  Did anyone ever tell you and Louise Hay how rude, offensive, and wrong it is to tell people with a disease that the disease is all their fault?  Did anyone ever tell you that it is simplistic and idiotic to think there is one answer to a complex issue, that works for everyone?  Or that even if you think you have the one answer, you will win any converts by insulting people? 

Some of us have read Louise Hay's book.  Some of us think it's garbage.  If you look around, you can see it was reviewed on this site.  Some of us believe that Lousie Hay has done a great deal of harm by blaming the victims!  She must have come up with a new explanation (maybe her first one didn't work so she fished for another?) because when I first saw the book she said Migraine was caused by unreleased anger.   Unreleased anger, fears about sex, what next?  Inadequate potty-training?  

For your information, I have no fear about sex.  Quite the contrary.  You don't know anything about my sex life or those of the other members of this site.  Everyone is not sexually repressed, you know.  There was a sexual revolution about 30 years ago, maybe you've heard of it?  There's a lot less sexual repression than there used to be.  But you may be amazed to know - the number of Migraine sufferers did not suddenly drop when people became less sexually repressed!  Why is that?
 

Maybe that's because Migraine is a neurological disease which has been described throughout human history, not a result of sexual fears, angry thoughts, or anything else in our "minds."   Having a great sex life is peachy.  Relaxing and releasing anger is dandy.  These things are good for us.   But they don't change our basic neurological makeup. 

I could be happy for you that your Migraines have gotten better.  That happens to some people.  But it's hard to be really happy for anyone who says I have a lazy butt. I am working hard all the time to manage my disease, improve my health, care for my family, help other migraineurs, and make a living.  My butt is extremely hard-working and takes great exception to your butt calling it names!

you have no business being on this site - this site where people come for help, understanding and ACTUAL USEFUL INFORMATION. For your information I do not have any fears about sex. I fear ignorant people like you however. I can't believe that someone would be such a loser as to log on - make an account and post such a stupid comment. GET A LIFE

For someone who thinks they know it all, you actually know very little, so now who's the stupid one?

Obviously, Louise Hays' book hasn't healed your life.  I'm suspicious now that her book might not heal my life!  Heck, sounds like her book hasn't even healed her life.

I'll be sure not to ever read anything written by Louise Hay.  Don't want to distract myself during sex wondering what I'll be cured of next.

What other gems of wisdom do you have for us, Bobbie, hmmm?

When I started getting migraines, I don't think my mom or the law would have approved of this fix for me or others like me.  I started getting migraines at the age of six.  I didn't even know what sex was other then I had brothers and a sister.  Sexually frustrated at six?  I don't think so.

I already responded directly to your phenominally rude and ignorant response to my Sharepost, however I feel such a profound show of stupidity and rudeness deserves just a little more of my time.

First things first, I will repeat.  Migraine disease is a neurological disorder.  Though the precise mechanism is not known, there is an article in the August issue of Scientific American detailing new research on Migraine disease which links attacks to a depression of neuron activity in the cortex.  However, whether or not you have the mental capacity to comprehend such large words is questionable.

Now, to the "fear of sex", which I neglected to respond to directly in my reply.  I have no fear of sex.  Believe me.  For the sake of family friendliness, I will not go into detail, suffice to say there isn't much out there I haven't done.  I enjoy sex a great deal, feel no shame about my body or desires, or about my personal tastes.  I have an excellent sex partner and an excellent and exciting sex life. 

I suggest you try using the internet to read some of the vast collection of scientific literature that contradicts that one little book you think is the end all of migraine research.

It seems that you can read or you cound't use the internet. So, get off your lazy butts and do something for yourself. Read Louise Hays book You Can Heal Your Life. She nails it right on the head. Migraines are caused by fears about sex. Once I got me a good sex partner and started gettin laid regular I quit having headaches.

So what's wrong with all of you? Don't you want to get better?

You are the only smart one around here, Bobbie.   None of us that suffer with migraines want to get better, we enjoy the blinding pain, the phases of migraine, the fatigue, the throwing up, the trips to the doctor, ER, clinic, etc.  

Now you are telling us all we needed to do was read a book that "nails it right on the head"    is that part of the therapy or what?  

Fear of sex??   LOL  Nah, fear of silly stupid people coming on this sight, perhaps, bored with you already, most assuredly. 

Bobbie,

Your attempt to be funny about a serious disorder will fail here. If you have the time to post here then you had the time read "what is wrong with all of us". Perhaps your know-it-all complex could be better used somewhere else in your "get a life"concept.

First of all, I cannot understand your reason to even be here. Does it make you feel better to post this question and then ask for responses? Obviously we can use the internet since this is an internet based site...just thought I would point that out. And another obvious...we can read, thank you, which is why we are responding. Secondly, I'm glad you got a good sex partner. I have one too, however, since I have a real medical condition, I am not cured by "getting laid".  And getting off my lazy butt and doing something for myself is exactly what I  have done, how dare you be so presumptious as to assume that we all have not. I highly suggest you find something productive to do than to get on a message board for people who have a medical condition and insult, downplay, and generally act ignorant towards people who come here for support and answers. If you don't agree with this board, then don't read it. Very simple.

I am happy for you if THAT made your head better, BUT let me tell you that won't work for everyone.  How old are you?  Old enough to know that there is no ONE cure for every person out there?  Heck, even I know kids out there who would tell you that.  I think you should keep you guard up and don't throw away all of those migraine meds just yet. 

I'm glad that sex has cured your migraines. I've got a wonderful sex life, thank you very much. I've been married for 27 years to the nicest, smartest, sexiest man I know.

I fly from central Mississippi to Nashville to see a migraine specialist. I'm doing all I know how to do to treat my disease. I take my meds. I practice yoga. I have massage therapy. I even have Botox, which isn't covered by my insurance.

Unfortunately, I'm hard-wired to have migraines. It's genetic, and I got it, along with my red hair and left handedness. Of 6 kids, I'm the only redhead, the only southpaw, and the only migraineur.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll take it for what it's worth.

Oh, Bobbie, Bobbie, Bobbie~

You lost me when you misspelled a word in your first sentence. The grammar continued to deteriorate thereafter. "gettin"... "got me a"..."started getting laid"

Blahahahahahahaha! (cyber spell)

My former brother-in-law "got migraines" briefly while unemployed, and was "CURED" as soon as he found another job. I don't believe these were migraines, but tension headaches. The term migraine is bandied about whenever someone has a headache that is more serious than the norm. (accepted abbreviation or slang)

I'm sorry. Did I speak over your head? I'm glad you "got some" and are feeling better. Now, buzz off and go get the rest of your life back as well. :-)  (cyber smiley face)

I would like to thank you!  I felt immediately better after the good laugh you gave me from reading your question and your absolutely ignorant remarks.  We can read a phony when we see one.  Keep it up, we could use the laughs.

i have other health problems and i don't want them, but i don't have a magic wand or cure-all...it doesn't exist because everybody is different!!!!!! what may work for you may not work for the next person.......i am a afraid of sex, but thats becasue i was date-raped hunny...i have ptsd.,.. i started getting migraines when i was 11, 2 years before my period and i even realised that boys had anything more than cooties...you are an extremely misinformed individual, especially if you are calling migraine sufferes lazy and stupid...your post is inappropriate and i advise you to keep your thoughts to yourself...

OMG.  If laughter is the best medicine, then you have cured me today!  That is the funniest thing I have heard in such a long time.  I will have to tell my neuro that one.  I will try my very best to cure myself via the have a bunch of sex method.  You are one ignorant little man though, but I suppose your 'good sex' partner must fall for the 'I got a migraine and you got the cure' line, eh?  Seriously, so very funny I can't work up the effort to be outraged. 

Unawareness=meanness+stupidity

Hey Bobby...I can agree that sex helps with the migraine... but when it is all over it comes right back... I dont suppose you think I should quit my job and have sex all day long.. And when my migraines are lasting 3 days I ask my boyfriend if he could stay home from saving lives as a cop to have sex with me for 24 hours a day... U are not someone who has migraines like the rest of us. I have been suffering from migraines for 8 years. I have been on MANY different medications and nothing has worked. I have tried physical therapy, massages, no chocolate, no caffene, no birth control, and different diets. Oh yeah ... along with cat scans, x rays and MRI's...So as you can see LAZY is not in my agenda....the next time you have a bright idea save it for someone who cares.

-Tara

Bobbie - get off this site!  It's not for jokes, this is serious business and you are not helping anyone!

Wow I didn't think such idiots still were around like you.  I would never wish a migraine on someone other than Osama Bin Laden, but I would make an exception for you and pray that you do get one in your life time and then you come back to this forum and see how your tune will have changed.

My sex life was thriving and excellent till these migraines started spiraling out of control. Anyone who knows me could tell you "fear" is the last word you would use to describe anything to do with sex in my life. Nice try....

next!
