ok i did it... i WORE the elvis wig that i knitted. we have a "pick up" band of local folks that get together on Tuesday nights, and play for dances at the hall. i'm the bass player, and do vocals. so.. picture: i'm 5 feet tall, and weigh 100 lbs.. the rest of the group are these hairy western BC rough and ready male types. i wore the wig BUT didn't get to keep it. every single one of those men had to be Elvis for a while. we rocked like we haven't in weeks. next project 7 (seven!) more knitted elvis wigs.

migraine has no relationship to bloodclots. the pain is a "rebound" effect after the initial insult of arterioles clamping down - contracting - for one reason or another.. there are myriads of triggers.


getting very warm and dark is good advice. not laying down, completely,helps many as well.

the imitrex works for some; worsens the pain for others; strategies vary, as people respond/react so differently. i'm an RN from a family of people whose bodies know how to do migraine. every single one of us has a different "best plan". i am successful at warding off the pain 90% of the time by taking a particular NSAID (ibuprofren) when the prodromal symptoms appear. i still get the lightshow and the nausea, but the pain is negligable when i'm successful

be well, good lady.
