headaches with aura

WITCH!

[Nachum]

She turned me into a newt!

....... I got better

[Sacajaweau]

You can almost hear someone saying...."I found something....I found something"...She's gotta be on drugs...

People are such as***.

[davisfh]

Better this than the monumental headache that we have in the White House now. I’ll take her over the fraudulent pretender now occupying that position any day.

[EGPWS]

Only Republican candidates are required to devulge personal information as a candidate.

Most dimocrat's would most likely go to jail if they did.

[Jewbacca]

Little birds tell me Romney’s smear machine is behind this hit piece.

Certainly smells like a typical Romney move.

[gov_bean_ counter]

OK, now waiting for Newt to get better...

[smokingfrog]

Is this medication that she needs to take daily?

[murron]

I get aura without migraines. It begins with a “hole” in my vision that lasts for 5 minutes, then the “hole” fradually moves across my line of vision until it transforms into zig zag lights that travels to the side of my vision. They last all of 20 minutes and except for the first 5 minutes when my central vision is impaired, I can still function. I’ve gotten them when I was driving, and was able to keep driving without any problem. There is no pain associated with them, yet the eye doctor diagnosed it as optical migraines. I have suffered with the painful types years ago, but they were never accompanied with the aura. The auras began when I was about 30 and I’m now 63.

Not to be picky here, but using a medication designed to treat a chronic condition for a condition that is termed infrequent.

Seems like a contradiction...

[FredZarguna]

The next Romneybot^TM smear job will be directed at Rick Perry. But rest assured, they'll be looking for more on Bachmann in the meantime.

[italianquaker]

The haters will be here shortly!

[gov_bean_ counter]

I had the aura followed by an excruciating pain during my high school and college years (mid 1970s to early 80s). Wouldn't wish that on anyone. The medication used to treat them in those days weren't too effective.

[Jeff Vader]

shame she couldn’t have gotten a dig in there about obama not releasing jack concerning his medical records. or any records at all.

[markomalley]

So she controls her migraines with Imitrex. It comes in an autoinjector. It is a vasoconstrictor. And then she has anti-nausea medicine. Nausea is a common side effect of a migraine.

And the reason she had to be hospitalized would have been to administer the same kind of drugs prior to getting them under control using the Imitrex.

Big whoop.

Next subject, please.

[FredZarguna]

Not really. That’s the way prophylaxis works.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Roger.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I posted this on another thread. I’ll share it here too.

For me, this puts the issue to rest. She knows her migraine triggers. She takes meds to abort the migraines. She does not take preventative meds, which tells me, as a migraine sufferer, ... her migraines DO NOT seriously affect her ability to function.

[Spirit of Liberty]

If I was her, I wouldn’t have released anything until Obama released all his stuff (medical, educational, etc.).
