    hi Pamela - its probably passed by now, but did you get a little nauseous after it hit? i always get sick to my stomach for a bit & have to lay down for a bit - My opthamolgist said to track what you ate that day also, because the food can be triggers - i remember my first one, i had had more coffee than i usually drink, didnt have a good breakfast with protein & for lunch i ate a chocolate bar - i know, im bad! thought i was having a stroke - so scary! take care -

    hi pamela,

    I get these migraines too. i remember the first one was about 5 years ago, i was 44, i also thought i was having a stroke. Theyre awful.

    Since i lost my job due to Covid, ive been getting them more often. i think its the food im eating, (more often, more carbs/sugar, no exercise) etc.

    i usually only get them near to when i start my period.

    Skipped period the ENTIRE month of March. (thats where MY anxiety is right now LOL, like....whyd i skip? is something wrong? or is IT finally starting? lol)

    Youll be fine, thyere scary but youre OKAY. Also, i take 3 ibuprophren as soon as i see the squiggly lines and never get the headache. Ever. 😃

    My first one was at 43. I've had four total...all different. Since the first one, my vision has never been the same. I find them terrifying and instantly have a panic attack. It's an awful way to live. Every day I fear another one.

    I get these and definitely scary.. mine bounce to 4 different types of migraines , ocular is one of them.. they all have the drunk unsteady blurry wavy vision symptoms, also nausea, vomiting.. numbness one side of body.. confusion, and a feeling like you cant move your body during the actual attack.. I had a hysterectomy in my 20s but still have ovaries, I'm 49 now and have been experiencing very bad symptoms since I turned 45.. milder symptoms since my hysterectomy.. I remember getting my period at the end of every month and then ovulating 14 days later with bad ovary pain every month.. so even though I have no way of tracking my menopause with periods or lack of them , I do still get these very bad symptoms and migraines being one of them at these same days every month that I would have been having a period or ovulating.. end of month and 14 days later (mid month) are torture for me..
