I just want the funny eye feelings to go away!!!<BR/><BR/>You know, I used to work in Ophthalmology research...never heard of these before. Just crazy stuff!

I'm unfortunate to have the nasty someone-please-shoot-me- or-I'll-jump-off-the-roof type migraines most of the time. The only thing that works for me is the Excedrine migraine (my mom has them too and takes Rx stuff and it makes her SO sick, so I've never wanted to take them) although I have to agree...caffeine is the DEVIL with Endo. I have cut it out completely and if ever I cheat (Cherry Coke or Dr.Pepper, yuuuuuum) I always end up in pain for days. Ugh, I've had pretty bad migraines with Lupron too, so I feel your pain, I'm SO sorry. Hooray on the 4th shot. For me that was my turning point, I started feeling SO much better after that one, Endo pain-wise. Oh and oddly enough, I too had freaky knee pain. The stabbing kind. Only in my right knee though, which also turns out to be my bad knee anyway from highschool track. It came and went, but it's never persisted, thank goodness.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157457008531140248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110297268863756645.post-71133239665005734672008-06-27T17:34:00.000-04:002008-06-27T17:34:00.000-04:00Caffeine's not a good IDEA --- not eye... maybe I ...Caffeine's not a good IDEA --- not eye... maybe I need some sleep... lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110297268863756645.post-59824348900173322772008-06-27T17:32:00.000-04:002008-06-27T17:32:00.000-04:00Let me try this again.

Makes me wish I had bought a Mac. lol<BR/><BR/>Anways, yes, it sounds like you've entered the fun world of eye migraines - silent migraines. Should leave you once the hormones from Lupron are out of your system. This was why I am NOT a candidate for Lupron. I have complicated basilar artery migraines, which are stoke like, and increase your chances of having a stroke. Adding hormones that, well, cause migraines of any kind could lead to ==== strokes. Yeah, not good. <BR/><BR/>Here's to wishing that Lupron clears from your system as soon as possible, and that the fourth shot doesn't cause any more problems for your than you're already having. Hopefully the stuff has worked it's magic and starved off some of that endo, and you get some relief. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the migraine meds. Hope they help ya. Caffiene's not a good eye, though, for silent migraines. Get plenty of sleep, low stress, and not a lot of caffeine. I'm here to talk if you need me - just a blog away. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
