Hello everyone, am I the only one hating this heatwave ?  Making me feel even sicker and zapping away the tiny little bit of energy I had. Am I boring in wishing and longing for winter the only time in the seasons I actually enjoy. I used to love the summer but now I just can't stand it.

    Yes not finding it good . Used to love hot weather . Getting over a heavy period and a bad migraine , my heads still aching . I have felt so sick with it , so don't know if it's the heat making it feel worse . Sweating so much again last night , it's like when you have the flu and your clothes are all stuck to you . Is this normal ? Just want to be rid of all these things and be 100% fit again . Hugs to everyone

      Hi Jane, I sympathise with you as I get terrible migraines aswell - I have the nausea and vomiting and it goes on for days sometimes a week, it's terrible and leaves you so washed out afterwards. Yes the heat DEFINATLEY makes things so much worse and can trigger the migraines too. I wish it would rain and be fresh with clear air. I'm just recovering from yet another horrific head and it was so bad it's left my neck crunching I can hear it in my head - were all in this together x

      Totally emphathise with you Lou... Migraines a curse ???? and the neck pain and stiffness, nightmare

      I felt more dizzy/off balance than normal yesterday but had a determined streak in me that it wasn't going to beat me so I managed to get out walking etc

      Got up this morning was sitting eating breakfast with my little cushion supporting my head, I moved my head and felt really dizzy & sick then nausea and panic, I don't have the same resolve today and it's driving me crazy wish I could get rid of the fear of this

      I also can't stand the heat today, I live in Scotland so not really used to this lol

      Hope you can feel a bit better I really feel for you suffering those migraines

      Love X

      Brenda

      Hi Brenda I feel for you too it really is so horrible. The neck thing is new to me and scares me which sends the anxiety through the roof even more. I go through so many sumatriptans my useless doctor is only allowing me six a month whereas ive been taking one almost every day just to get some relief. Ive got a blood test tomorrow to recheck thyroid and arthritis aswell as joints are so stiff. I have the nausea aswell like you, most mornings I wake up feeling really really sick - I get panics aswell like you so I know what you're going through. Xx

      Same here, Jane, at least partly - getting over heavy period, can't walk outside without turning into a sweat puddle and clothes stick to me in seconds... would love to be 100% fit again!  I hope your migraine is gone soon.  I also used to love summer, but not anymore!  Take care.

    Is it normal to still feel rough ? This is my third day after starting my migraine and still feel sick and like I've been run over by a bus . My legs ache as well . Am I just being a hypochondriac ?
