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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
