Sorry I haven't posted - Migraines

I have been having my migraines again in the afternoons. Friday's was awful to say the least. I had taken a shower, gotten dressed, and was on my way to the post office when I got the "strange feeling" that I know means a really bad headache is on the way. I immediately turned around and came home. I was feeling so ill and cold that I just climbed into bed and stayed there the rest of the afternoon.

If you have never had a migraine, here is a bit of information about them from WebMD.

"A migraine headache is a form of vascular headache. Migraine headache is caused by vasodilatation (enlargement of blood vessels) that causes the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around the large arteries of the brain. Enlargement of these blood vessels stretches the nerves that coil around them and causes the nerves to release chemicals. The chemicals cause inflammation, pain, and further enlargement of the artery. The increasing enlargement of the arteries magnifies the pain."

From Medicinenet.com

"Experts believe migraines may be related to mutations in genes that affect certain areas of the brain. Migraine is also more common among people who have epilepsy, depression, asthma, anxiety, stroke, and some other neurologic and hereditary disorders."

I am not sure why I seem to get these headaches for some periods of time and then have none for quite a while. Migraines are something that I would not wish on my worst enemy.

I have been feeling better today, so we went out and took some pictures. As I was trying to upload them, the battery died in the camera. I need to get a USB tool that allows me to use the memory card to connect. I hope to be back tomorrow with an outfit posting.
