good morning and happy Saturday! How is everyone? I haven't run in a couple of weeks. I've been working out but just haven't felt like running, other than leading a group of little girls at cross country. I'm sure I'll get back knot it eventually. We have a crazy day today with 1 hockey game, 2 hockey practices, 1 football game, baseball tryouts, cross country, and 2 parties. I'm tired just thinking about it!<br><br>
I hope you all have a great weekend and fabulous runs!<br><br>

<p>Hey Andi!! Enjoy your weekend!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still no running....ended up going in last night. Had another vertigo episode.  They think migraine headaches are what is causing the vertigo.  I get the vertigo and then a hour or so later I get the headache.   I have never had migraines but hope I can figure out what is triggering them.  DH thinks it is stress   Which would make sense right now...going back to work, wedding, funeral etc etc. I think I need a vaca or at least learn how to let things go!! The dr said it is for sure not inner ear which is what I was hoping it was.</p>

<p>BUsy day ahead...football this am, community days today so a parade after, hopefully a run later and no vertigo or migraine at all today!  Has anyone had migraines and can let me know what works for them??</p>

sb I have been a migraine sufferer my whole life. I find that stress, lack of sleep and poor eating are triggers for me. Generally, as long as I take care of myself I can keep them away. I also get cluster headaches, which feel like mini migraines but come and go got a few weeks. I get those 2x a year when we change the clocks. It's kind if weird. I hope u figure it out and feel better soon.

<p>Andi I hope your days goes smoothly.</p>

<p>Staci maybe running will help with the headaches before the come on?</p>

<p>Ron you are right...running is my stess relief and I think it could help too! I just am afraid to run or drive right now because of the whole spinning room issue! Enjoy the rest of your relaxing day!<br><br>
Andi...your 3 triggers sound like my life the last few weeks!   She also said aspartame can trigger it and caffiene which have been a part of my poor diet as well lately!  Do you take imitrex at all?? She gave me a RX but have not filled it...I am not a big medicine person so I would rather figure out the culprit I guess!</p>

Staci - I find that excedrin migraine works better for me than imitrex did. I do drink a lot of caffeine, but I don't do artificial sweetness at all. Caffeine doesn't seem to affect me that way.
