(2,234 posts)That was the summer my husband was really sick. For several months, he needed total care, and it was awful for both of us. I have a history of migraines going back to when I was seven years old. I still recall the first one. When I woke up early that morning in 2013, sat up in bed, and got all these zigzagging lines in my vision, I muttered to myself, Fucking great. Now Ive got a fucking brain tumor.
I started having them a few times a week. Only once or twice did they turn into an actual migraine, but I always felt tired after they went away. Doctor told me what they were and said they would probably go away as Hubster recovered and our lives got back to normal. He also recommended I start getting massages, which I did. Slowly, over a couple months, they went away.
For about five years, I would have one every few months. I was keeping a log on my phone. Looking at it now, I see I havent had one since 2018. Stress was the cause of all of them.
