Today I had another migraine. I'm guessing my 25 minute work out triggered it. Which really sucks because now I'm a little hesitant to work out. This one was bad. Not the pain part, the delirium part. Seriously, for about an hour I felt like I was on an acid trip and I was losing my mind. Does anyone else experience this "phase" in a migraine. Nothing makes sense. My brother in law came over to drop the boys off, and told me something, and all I could say was "nothing you just said makes any sense". Nothing DH was telling me sounded right, so I asked him if he was okay... I thought for a little while maybe everyone was going crazy...
You guys. It really really sucks. All I can do is pray and keep telling myself everything is going to be alright. And of course, once it's passed and I'm thinking straight, I know I was overreacting and that everything was fine except me.
This is particularly disturbing for me because I have always been sharp, very logical and exceptionally in control of my thoughts. I have never taken any sort of mind-altering substance because I fear losing control of my mind. And yet, when these migraines hit, which seems to be happening often as of late, I go through a phase of completely delirium. I even feel embarrassed when I think about it and how nutty I must sound and act.
I am going to schedule an appointment with a chiropractor and hopefully that will help. There has got to be something I can do to fix the problem! I went for 9 years without a migraine... and I don't know what has triggered them again. I'm pretty sure it's my spinal alignment or something of the like. So I guess that's a first step...
Wish me Luck!

Shoot! Good luck. That would be weird. I get random migraines, but I just get the blurry vision and the killer headache. Hope it is all okay soon.
Oh Ackkk hon - I hate those!! I started getting them about your age when I was low on iron or ate anything with nutrasweet - yuck. Hang in there and try ice on the back of your head. Hugs, Sarah
Good luck! I have been having some fierce headaches as well..no fun at all.
Hope you can get some relief.
I am new to your blog--found you through Emmy Mom--I get migraines all the time! And I can totally relate to that nothing makes sense. You simply can not think. It's horrible. I hope your doc can find something good that works well for you.
Yikes! That sounds seriously icky. Good luck at the chiropractor's.
dang! you need to see a doctor...not just a chiro. Tell him exactly what happens. It could be something more than a migrane. Hope you feel better!
Has anything in your diet changed lately? Are you drinking diet soda? Artificial sweeteners can do wierd things to people!
Good luck! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. I hope you get it figured out, and get some relief from this soon!
