HereComesTheReignAgain Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have had that happen occasionally for many years now, but without any headache -- the only symptom is the impact on my vision. I get the blob, and that causes my balance to be off a bit, but that's it and it wears off in about 20 minutes. Very bizarre. I went through the whole battery of tests with the neurologist and they didn't find any other explanation. My Dad will sometimes only get the aura. As he got older the headache wouldn't always follow. It's pretty scary stuff if you don't know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 When did this site morph into webmd.com ?? When a Bills player developed a medical condition with which some people here have personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 When did this site morph into webmd.com ?? When people started making dumb threads questioning the toughness of professional athletes who have dealt with more physical pain they could possibly imagine.

Rayzer32 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I am surprised that more Bills players don't suffer from migraines, especially with all the yelling Jauron does. I mean the Bills have certainly caused me to suffer from migraines almost every Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinii Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yes. A migraine is not a regular headache bro. Quit looking for meaning in nothing... Migraines can be quite debilitating and after a concussion they are particularly worrisome. So yeah the original poster should go back and break down some film of the Texans.

KD in CA Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 My Dad will sometimes only get the aura. As he got older the headache wouldn't always follow. It's pretty scary stuff if you don't know what is going on. Yeah, it freaked the crap out of me the first couple of times. Now, I just shut off the lights and PC and chill out for a bit.

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Problem I have is I found a way to deal with the migraine ( migraine medicine ) however the whipped out for 2 days later feeling is harder to shake. I no longer get the Aura ones, I actually prefer those since shortly after the vision comes back the headache is there so ya can react faster to the medicine response. I would love to see Nelson on the field more now maybe we can get him to be a key element of our passing attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Migraines can be quite awful. I've gotten them to the point where laying down in complete darkness with no sound was the only thing that made it bearable. I've had migraine induced double vision that lasted for days, where I had to get an mri to rule out any more serious issues. Some migraines I can deal with, but when it's bad it's damn near impossible to be productive. I've noticed since I cut out drinking soda I get them less frequently. Still I can completely understand Nelson not practicing with a migraine. It's not a run of the mill cupcake headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdBlueNorth Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 When people started making dumb threads questioning the toughness of professional athletes who have dealt with more physical pain they could possibly imagine. Had to give my mother her morphine and anti-nausea shots during her final stage of pancreatic cancer when she decided home was better then a hospital for her final few months. I can imagine a thing or two about pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I feel fortunate because I have never experienced a migraine. It is interesting to note how many of you on the board do with some degree of frequency. My wife suffers from them so I undersand a just a little how difficult they can be.

todd Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 For anyone who gets migraines, I kicked mine by completely avoiding MSG. Monosodium Glutamate is in EVERYTHING, from chicken broth to doritos. As soon as I stopped all MSG, the migraines went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I think everyone is missing the point. I've never had a migraine (thank God), but how does ANYONE in 2009 NOT know that Migraines are a debilitating condition? Seriously? Calling it a headache? Welcome to life outside of that rock you've been living under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
