The kind of migranes where it messes with your vision for about 30 minutes before it sets in. D: All day.

are you talking about those migraines when your vision blacks out and you see black and white images??? Or is that just me..

[KangarooGirl]

*hugs pofa* That sucks. Hope they've gone away now.

@ranger: Different people see different things with their migraines. I've heard of people saying they completely black out, others say there's flickering, and other say they see zigzag distortions. That's why when people come in and tell me they temporarily saw something weird, one of the differential diagnoses is that they were having a migraine. Of course, you rule everything else out first

You know something is wrong is when your mother is sobbing at your shoulder instead of the other way around...

Today was spring-cleaning day (mainly because a potential buyer for the house pays a visit tomorrow), and after 6 hours of consecutive cleaning, we were all a little tense. It did not help that my brother decided to procrastinate a fair share of his work and that my mother almost always manages to work herself up into a rage once she gets angry (a night of sleep always cools her down). So, my mother got angry with my brother for slacking off, getting more and more angry over time. However, my brother, being completely aware of what was about to happen, told her to cool down, and when she didn't, yelled at her to finally cool down (which, at first, left her too shocked to say anything) . This was the point were I considered locking my door to be a good idea, though after a moment of thought, I realized that it might be better to interfere in order to make sure things did not get worse, both emotionally and economically (my mother tends to forget about the value of throwable things while angry), and actually managed to get them apart by simply ordering my brother to get back to work and my mother to take a seat and cool down (perhaps me being too much in a hurry to remember putting on a T-shirt helped ). Well, she didn't, which let to the afore-mentioned situation - I can tell you, it's pretty creepy this way

Well, I managed to avert a worse end, and by now everyone has cooled down, so it's all alright. Still, I don't want to imagine what might had happened if I had chosen not to step in...

D: Glad things are settled down now.

I broke a tooth again even though the treatment I got for it last time should have taken care of it. Now I'm up late researching different causes and treatment for brittle teeth (which I seem to have inherited from my mother) because I can't trust a dentist to actually do anything that will help me with this dental problem. I've been to different dentists and oral care professionals over the years but none that either my mom or I have talked about this sort of thing have done anything that helped. There have even a few quacks that made it a lot worse for either my mom or myself so that makes me even less likely to trust what a dentist has to offer.

I'm glad things have settled down now at least. But it is a tough situation to be in when ones family argues.

That was a thank-you-hug for reassuring me

Ah I see, thanks.  Wow, are you some sort of unofficial doctor or something (considering you are 22 from your profile)  And man, I am one f-ed up person because sometimes I see bar codes like the ones in the super market when I get migraines.

[KangarooGirl]

Haha no, not a doctor, official or otherwise. Just an optometry student. I really should put some disclaimer or something saying that what I say may or may not be accurate because I'm not really qualified yet.

And you're not f-ed up. Crap happens to people that don't deserve it. It's life. Though, I think research says that migraines get less frequent as you get older (feel free to correct me on that) so you have something to look forward to.
