If you've ever had a migraine you know that there isn't much to be thankful for during those times. You're in pain, nauseous, and sometimes seeing in mosaics. What benefit could you possibly derive from that. Listen in and you'll find out. I have been suffering with migraines for years. They got really bad after I got married to Ted and it was a combination of things that spiked an increase in their intensity. Along with getting married, I'd been dropped into a brand new world full of rules I knew nothing about. I was also now a step-mom to Ted's kids, got pregnant, had my own son, and amongst it all, lost a bit of what made me, me. Between the hormonal changes, stress, food, and overall lack of wellbeing, my migraines got really out of control. The blessing to be found in all this is that I finally figured out most all of my triggers. Now, so long as I don't do something to trigger a migraine, I rarely have one. I used to have up to 17 per month and now I have fewer than 4 per year. When you have a migraine, all you want is for the pain to end. Which means that when you are wracked by the pain in your head and body you take part more fully in your life. You are so thankful to not be in pain that the good days are amazing rather than just good. Listen in to learn more about migraines and what you can do to figure out your triggers.
