I know that I was taught not to hate but I'm sorry to say that I hate migraines. I had one last night. I tried sleeping it off with a nap which didn't work. I tried my more natural things of taking Butterber which didn't work. I tried aromatherapy which didn't work. I finally gave up at 10:30 and took my migraine med. An hour later I was sound asleep. Best night sleep that I have gotten in a long time...too bad it took a migraine for that to happen.
I'm off my progesterone only pill and wondering if I had a hormonal migraine last night with my one remaining ovary.
Lordy only knows with me...it could be anything!! I'm just praying for no migraines today.

About Me
- Endo Angel
- From Upstate NY, United States
- I'm been an endometriosis sufferer for 20+ years. I have been officially diagnosed with endometriosis (endo) since January of 2000 at Stage 3 and had my 2nd surgery for endo in August 2002 at Stage 4.
Most recently, I had a 7 hour excision surgery with Dr. Albee from the CEC in Atlanta, Georgia in July 2008 and was at Stage 4 again. Due to cyclical leg pain lasting a week and going away for 3 weeks before coming back and low back/tailbone pain, I went back to Dr. Albee for my 4th surgery in August 2011 where I lost my remaining right ovary. Dr. Albee is an endometriosis excision specialist. And another surgery with Dr. Albee in August 2011.
