Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
WEll it is the fall and a season change weather here in philly is good but not real hot fairly nice sun is low in the sky and we are getting some wind. I had a Migraine Aura today and my symptoms seem to be tiredness and mood affected that is after the aura goes away about 20-30 minutes later. I have had these since teenager and still get them. Sometimes i can go month or more without them and then i get several in short periods of time. No way to tell when. I do watch certain triggers and i do cheat.

Hi... I was just looking for support groups and came across this site. I was just diagnosed with NHL specifically Folicular Lymphoma (Large B-Cell type) and I guess it would just be nice to talk to people who have been through this. I'm 28 F and I'm a new mom, my life has changed drastically in the last two years and now this diagnosis has really gotten me down...I had a CT scan done last week...

This a tool that while I discounted in the past I now embrace. It caused me to have an excellent day yesterday, looking for a repeat performance today.
Hope this helps.
If you live in Philly, and these bother you, you have an amazing headache center in your back yard. Make an appointment at Jefferson and they can properly diagnose you and get you on any meds that you need. I go there because I live right across the bridge in Jersey.
