As you know momma, I get them a lot. But since I am not BP and am epileptic, we do have a lot of same symptoms so it may have to do with BP. We can talk about it tonight on the show :)

I get migraines, bad ones.

I think mine are not related to Bipolar, more to do with eye strain as I am short-sighted and also, certain lighting affects me... particularly fluorescent tubed lighting !

I've had migraines for over 20 years. I don't think that Bp has any more effect on them than stress, hormones, allergies, lack of sleep, I do think some of the triggers that trigger migraines trigger BP also.

I get pretty bad ones, but they run in my family even among my "normie" relatives lol.

I did notice however, that while I was on Seroquel, they were far worse. Just as a note.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
