I am thankful for...

Migraine Cocktails!

Ok, pathetic thing to be grateful for, but seriously, this saves my life on occasion. One Mountain Dew, 3 Advils, and 20 minutes later, TA DUH! No migraine! The Catch? I can't do it more than once a week. Anymore than that, and the caffeine in the Dew GIVES me a headache. So in addition to being grateful for my migraine cocktails, I am also be grateful that I can cope with my migraines (the mid week ones when I can't have my cocktail). I know so many people who have to spend the day in bed, with all the lights off, sleeping, absolutely no noise, in order to survive the headache. I have all the signs of migraines. Pain on one half of my head. Sensitivity to light and noise. Upset stomach (sometimes). But for some reason, I can cope with it and still function like a normal mom (maybe a teeny bit grumpier). I consider this a great blessing. Thank-you Heavenly Father for Migraine cocktails and mild migraines.

That is a good thing to be thankful for! I will have to try your migraine cocktail sometime, I have been getting bad ones for a couple weeks.
