You do no...We have SO much in common, it is scary. You do not look old enough to have children that age. I just recently turned 40 and have 3 daughters, age 23, 17 and 15. I also have sleep paralysis with the hallucinations but I've never been treated for it. I desperately need to see a sleep specialists but I've just had so many other issues going that I've never followed up on it. My Dysautonomia keeps me homebound and bedridden so it is hard to follow up on other things. I occasionally have migraines but not nearly as often and as long as you describe. When I have mine, my right eye droops very badly. Do you experience that? <br /><br />Please know I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.<br /><br />Teresa <><<br /><br />http://toomanyheartbeats.blogspot.com/Teresa @ ♥ Too Many Heartbeats ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/06926075458122509648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493301617095267941.post-47181572126920271032009-08-22T13:49:14.011-05:002009-08-22T13:49:14.011-05:00Read your blog - crazy video - yeah tapping myself...Read your blog - crazy video - yeah tapping myself and accepting myself - that'll get it gone. If it was that simple do you think we'd be in the position we're in as chronic intractable migraine sufferers? Made me laugh though so that was good.<br /><br />I'm really new to this blogging to so we'll learn together. Also a member of ChronicBabe Forum so we can talk there too. <br /><br />I have found that blogging and twittering and meeting all these people and sharing experiences has helped me tremendously - feels good to know you're not alone, right?<br /><br />Nice to meet you - <br /><br />ElizabethEAWakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174754294880949678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493301617095267941.post-50916582468935250072009-08-22T09:26:57.960-05:002009-08-22T09:26:57.960-05:00i just found your blog...very nice...i hope we can...i just found your blog...very nice...i hope we can learn from eachother on this life of chronic pain....i would love for you to check out my blog...any feedback would be great....kind of new to it.....<br />http://throughthewordsofchronicpain.blogspot.com/FIGHTERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576347336902237223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493301617095267941.post-55708762043451925292009-08-22T07:28:45.749-05:002009-08-22T07:28:45.749-05:00Yes I know that intellectually, but I don't ha...Yes I know that intellectually, but I don't have a relationship w/ my dad - I love him and think he loves me but doesn't want a relationship - I've tried and tried until I had to quit trying cause it was stressing me out. I don't want that to happen with my sons - I fear it now that they are older. Never thought of it when they were young, but I think it's connected - I'm afraid of losing people I love - not having a relationship.<br />And his dad - my ex - is NO help. Afraid he fills his head w/ lies - but my sons are smart and my older one has figured out his dad and has no respect for him anymore. He lives with me, soon to live on his own. I fear losing him too, but that's another story. I know we won't have the same relationship, but I don't want it to go away. It won't if I keep trying, I think. The older one says that my 16 yr old will get it and see things differently when he moves out to college, etc. I think he's probably right and probably doesn't believe the lies he's told. At least I feel that now that the fight is over, because it was partly about that I don't trust his dad and he was mad at me for that. And I see him less now he's so involved in JROTC, work, friends, etc., which is totally normal, I know, I come from divorced parents. It will be okay.<br />Anyhow, you are right, I feel better now about that.<br />Now if I could just get my migraine pain level down - given up on getting rid of it. Thanks for the hug!<br />ElizabethEAWakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174754294880949678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493301617095267941.post-33393170950608976052009-08-22T00:27:52.424-05:002009-08-22T00:27:52.424-05:00Great news regarding your son.

If it makes you feel better I've had my share of arguments with my mom, but it never meant I loved her any less.<br />Hugs,<br />JasmineJasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14707087474225105806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493301617095267941.post-47807757755973717522009-08-21T21:33:33.654-05:002009-08-21T21:33:33.654-05:00Thanks - I'm trying to keep it all under contr...Thanks - I'm trying to keep it all under control. Migraine is not so gently reminding me that I have to slow down. It's been really bad lately - I'm used to constant pain, but can't handle this level for too long. But, I will stop, relax, meditate, breathe, yoga, and take time for myself and all will be well.<br />This Too Shall Pass<br />And all the work will get done eventually, it always does.<br />On a positive note, fight with son is over and he loves me dearly again and I didn't even give in to him.EAWakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174754294880949678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493301617095267941.post-59396910791611623582009-08-20T16:24:45.307-05:002009-08-20T16:24:45.307-05:00So much on your plate right now, so I'm sendin...So much on your plate right now, so I'm sending gentle hugs. I hope you're able to set aside time for yourself, and possibly get away for an afternoon, a day, maybe more. We can better tackle issues, and think clearer, when outside our usual surroundings.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14707087474225105806noreply@blogger.com
