Knocked up with a migraine

I get absolutely horrible migraines.  They do not like to leave my head.  They also stab the back of my eye and slowly make their way down to my neck and shoulders.  Normally I can pop some excedrin migraine or fioricet and be good a few hours later.  Problem is the baby taking up residence in my belly is susceptible to all the crap I put into my body. My alternative right now is Tylenol, which is just a joke.  After three days of the pain growing increasingly worse I finally had enough and started bitching on facebook and ended up with some great advice from my friends who also are blessed with migraines and have also been knocked up.  Thought I would share some of the tidbits I learned.  So here we go:

Ice Packs - on your head, your eyes, your neck etc.
Powdered Gatorade with water, chug it and then apply Tiger Balm (got mine at Walgreens) to your temples, hairline and neck.

Tylenol with Pepsi.
Tie a handkerchief around your head to constrict the pain/blood flow.
Lay upside down with ice packs on your eyes so the blood rushes to your head.
Peppermint essential oil on neck and head.
And visit the chiropractor if you are able to. Mine has a hydro decompression bed that really helped ease the pain in my shoulder and neck.

Hope this help any knocked up migraine sufferers!!

I've gone a little crazy on my attack against Nick Jr airing vulgar comedy shows called "NickMom" on what was supposed to be a 24 hr preschool channel. It comes on at 7pm!! One min we are watching Dora, the next min there is some crazy broad talking about her vagina and sex.
It was nice to see so many other parents, including friends of mine, that also agree that NickMom is inappropriate for Nick Jr. 
I first went to Nick Jr and complained and by reading other posts I found out a few things. For one Nick Jr and Viacom have not responded to any of their parental viewers' complaints.  Two, parents are now trying to get the companies sponsoring NickMom to pull their advertising.  There is a facebook page that was started just for this.  http://www.facebook.com/#!/CancelNickMom
I loved the 24/7 preschool on tv.  I am not a perfect parent and I admit when my stinker wakes up at night I throw on some Nick Jr to get him back to sleep.  Sure I could throw in a DVD, but I liked the fact Nick Jr was educational and I could depend on them.

Honestly I am not very interesting, but couldn't let my neighbors have blogs without me.
