I used to get them so bad, twice a month like clockwork...Who knew that having a solid ovarian mass which led to a total hysterectomy at the age of 40 would have the added benefit of no more migraines??!!...Well, I may have had one or two in the 7 years since the surgery...but nothing like before! So, a lil ole vivelle-dot estrogen patch for me, and I am just fine thanks!! Beats the heck out of having to give myself the Imitrex shot every time a migraine was coming on...sometimes it helped, sometimes not so much...Yosamitesa, I am so glad you and your little one are ok! I must say I never had a migraine where I blacked out totally...I am sure that must be scary for you! Hope they can find out what is causing them for you...I also have Lupus, not diagnosed until 2 years ago...but have found out that it could have been the cause of mine...tho I think mine were more hormonal...Burchquilts, the dd calling them "my brains" was too funny...and the remark about being blissfully brain free...hmmm...maybe that is why after my MRI my Dr. said the results were "negative".??.. LOL...Anyways, sending out healing hugs to you all!

OK, lemme ask you this... are kidney stones not THE most painful thing you've ever even dreamed of? I'd always heard they were the worst kind of pain & after having 2 bouts of them, I can agree (tho they give you fun drugs in the ER when you stagger in, clutching your side). Second are gall stones. Oh yes... I've had everything from the boobs down surgically removed because it keeps breaking. When the chick took my X-Rays the other day, she said "I see you've had a radical hysterectomy" (when I was 30) & I sat bolt upright on the little table & said "WHAT?!? All my lady parts are gone? How did that happen???". Thank goodness she had a sense of humor. I very much enjoy messing with the staff's heads. The last time they asked me when my last period was, I said "October 1985" & watched as she tried to process that. I'm evil.
