Migranes...Do you suffer?

[thecountess]

Thanks TidyTaurus

I am waiting to see how it goes over the next day or so. This morning I was ready to jump off a cliff. Went back to bed and slept for a couple hours, woke up, took more Tylenol and I feel fine right now but who knows once the Tylenol wears off.

I just think it's weird that it has been a whole week. I woke up headachy last Sunday and it has been on and off since ( and then a nightmarish week on top of it, for other reasons) I hope it is just stress because having a headache this bad blows.

You should go see a doctor - it could be a problem with your back/neck, or you could have a low-grade viral infection... and I don't want to alarm you, but DH's cousin passed suddenly a few years back, from meningitis - that started by being headachy.
Anytime you have a medical problem that's persisted over 5 days, you should see a medical practitioner. At the very least, they can eliminate any serious causes for it.

I am just one of those people who hates going/procrastinates going because 99% of the time these things pass.

It is a cool morning today and so far I am okay. We shall see...

Thanks for the concern hun. SC peeps are awesome



Update: It is now 3:34pm and so far my headache has not returned today... yay!

Ya.. I get migranes..

I haven't got them in awhile (thank goodness).
I have noticed mine can come on when the weather is going to get real bad, when I haven't had proper sleep (I have a 15 mth baby) and sometimes stress.

Good Luck!

I've had a migraine all weekend, popping pain killers, laying down a lot, going for walks. It usually coincides with a particular time of the month.

Aw sorry

I remember you telling me you take Codeine but I am allergic

[thecountess]

Day two... no headache..... I think it is actually gone. Yay!

I never did get around to going to the doctor. I am overall a healthy person and not one to go unless I absolutely have to.

I have had a chronic daily migraine for three years now

[Justine]

Sometimes it's so bad I just want someone to punch me in the head.

[Abby5]

Or stab a steak knife in it to relieve the pressure

Exactly!

It is now Thursday (Day 4) and my headache and fatigue have not returned.....I guess it was not migraine related after all.

I am sorry for all of you guys though who are struggling with this on an ongoing basis

I also suffer from Migraines, most of the time it is weather related but not always. Not too long ago after work, I was picking up a few groceries and it started. Flashing lights is the first warning sign for me and light sensitivity. I left the groceries in the cart and quickly got to my car to get home before the booming starts. The longest I have had one is about 48 hours.

[Abby5]

I think that is normal for a migraine. my specialists always asks me questions like these. my migraine never goes away..i stump them all. have you gone on a beta blocker? My friend had migraines like yours and now takes a beta blocker everyday and only get a migraine about 2-3 times a year now. She says it is answer to her prayers. Just a thought??

[Justine]

I got a horrible one today. I don't know if they are migraines. I wake up with a horrible pain in my neck and then a headache all day. I take codeine and it makes me nauseous, but numbs the pain so it's worth it I guess.
