I get migraines pretty often especially during stressful times. The medication that the doctor gave me makes me groggy and, like any mother, I don't have time to be groggy.

I try to keep lemons and lemon juice concentrate in the fridge at all times. I have found that the concentrate seems to help more. Usually, I pour about half a coffee cup full of lemon juice concentrate, sprinkle in some salt and stir it up. Then, I sip it until it's gone. My husband's neurologist said that lemons are a natural antihistamine (spelling?) and that it helps with the flood flow.

I drink the lemon juice as soon as I start getting the headache because it seems like nothing helps a full-on migraine.

If, for some reason, you don't have lemons or lemon juice concentrate, sometimes a strong lemonade will help.

I just started getting migraines alot, I will have to try this! Thanks!

It usually works for me. Like I said, you have to start sipping it before the headache gets bad though.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. I will definitely pass this on to them.

You are quite welcome. I just happened to mention to John's neurologist that the lemons seemed to help and that's when she told me about them being a antihistamine and helped with the blood flow. I just thought it was a quirk that they helped me.

Great post, Lisa! You took some really good firework pictures (I am jealous). How lucky for you guys that there was a second showing of Spectromagic. We've watched from that exact spot before and it is a perfect spot to see the parade and then get out of there.

AAAHHHH, 6 years of being 'diagnosed' with migranes that nothing can help and now I find this out???

If you didnt notice, one of the firework pics of the yellowish orange balls had 3 of them in the shape of mickey ears... HIDDEN MICKEY!!!!

Hi Lisa! Wow! You got some great shots of the fireworks!! I always try to take pictures of the fireworks, but they never come out! I even have a fireworks setting on my camera! I don't have a tripod though, so maybe that's it! I'll keep trying though! LOL! I love the Spectro Magic Parade!!! My favorite one in all of Disney World!!! I'm so glad they are keeping it!

Well, it looks like you have your hands full with Lacey's wedding! At least you have a lot of help! Weddings are SO super duper expensive!!! My husband and I paid for our own in 2008. My mother did buy my dress though. And his mother did give us half for the rehearsal dinner. But everything else, was all us!! Unfortuantely, we regret that now! I know, sad to say. But it's the truth. Glad we are married, but should never of had the big wedding! Should have just went away & eloped somewhere! However, I'm sure we would have regretted that as well. Looking back at pictures, it was rather beautiful! But SO NOT worth the money!!!! Well, good luck with everything!!!! Can't wait for another update!

 

[racefanof88]

Hey Lisa . Sorry I have been MIA; things have just been so busy around here with all the wedding planning. I have been thinking about you and your family though. I am keeping everyone in my prayers that ya'll get through these sad days with some relief.

 

[MissLiz]

Great update, Lisa!!!

I get all gooey just thinking about Wishes. I love it! We had to skip Spectro in May because of the little one. She wouldn't go to sleep in her stroller at all, so we headed back to the room pretty early each night.

This last trip, she stayed awake and enjoyed the nighttime stuff, but since it wasn't Spectro, we skipped it. I know, I know, we are bad, but I just love SpectroMagic so much that I just felt it wasn't worth battling the crowds for something else. We did watch the Boo To You Parade at MNSSHP, though.

Our favorite spot to watch the parade at MK is right across from the train station, facing away from the castle. There usually aren't a ton of people there, you get to see the floats almost immediately, and it's a quick getaway after the last float goes by.

Good luck with Lacey's wedding plans! We paid for most of our wedding by ourselves and you really get creative when you don't have much of a budget. It's good that you have a lot of people who are creative and can help out with things. And thank goodness Lacey doesn't want a $5000 big pile of dumb!

 

[dismagiclover]

What a great ending to a great day! Love that viewing spot for the parade! Looks like a great one

 

[brookelizabeth]

You saw Pumpkin Man! I've seen him on more than one TR - he's a regular over at WDW and is always dressed to the hilt with the socks and beanie.

What a magical night with the bonus Spectro - and those are great seats! We watched the Christmas parade once in the area down there by the Fire House and it too was a GREAT spot, I always forget about it! Love that you can beat the crowds too.

I wish you the best with planning the wedding. It's so much work, isn't it? I planned mine in 5 months. I was EXHAUSTED by the time I got married! Sounds like you've got lots of contacts to make it easier and cheaper!!

 

[Woth2982]

Great update! I love the spectro pictures! I can never seem to get my camera to take good ones!

Sounds like you have a nice wedding hookup with the invatations. Those things can be very expensive! My dad keeps telling me he will pay me 10K NOT to have a wedding, says it will save him an additional 20K lol.

 

[rndmr2]

Great update! You had good seats for both Wishes and Spectro! We were in that vicinity when we were there too, (just in front of Tony's) and they turned out to be pretty good seats.

Good Luck with the Wedding planning! It's a lot of work but I had fun planning mine, I did it almost all myself with some help here and there. My MIL made the favors/place card holders, with mine and my SIL's help but she provided the dried flowers (we had little terra cotta pots that we painted and she put dried flowers in them, soo pretty) and my dad paid for the reception but the rest was all me. (Flowers, DJ. Limo, Photog, etc) It was done long distance, too, since I was in Roanoke, Va at the time and the wedding was in Philly. If you haven't already been on there, the message boards on the Knot.com were really helpful. Various other things on that site are good too.

 

[nessz79]

You're not alone- those guys in Spectro are very creepy! I always thought the same thing .

 

[jenseib]

I'm gonna have to check that spot out if we go in Dec. We usually like Liberty Square area. We did Spectro at Main Street once though and it was nice to be close to the beginning.
I'm not to excited about the Electric Parade at all though. But if we come in to MK after eating at WCC and there is a spot open in that area, I'll jump it. LOL!

 

[MaryAz]

I am still praying for youe family. Great update. Love the parade pics.

 

[Bethislucy]

Lisa I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear your BIL passed away. I have been mia for awhile I had carpal tunnel surgery and been off the computer. What a blessing that he accepted Christ before he passed. There is comfort in that. I'll cont to pray for your family.

 

[mommytothreeboys]

What a perfect night! Great dinner, Wishes, and Spectro.....

Oh...and Lacey's wedding plans sound great. How exciting! How are you managing to contain yourself??

 

[MEK]

I love your fireworks and parade pictures. They turned out great except for those trees. Arrrgghhhh! Those trees are always in the way.

Did you use a tripod for the parade pictures too, because they turned out really well with very little to no blur. Nice job!

 

[aprilisis]

I have a lot of catching up to do, but before the day gets away from me, I wanted to say that I am very sorry for the loss of your Brother-in-law.
