Day #5 of migraine...

AnneUCSB

I have had 2 different prescriptions med and an injection yesterday and still have a frickin' headache.  I am leaving in 10 minutes to go get a shot of demeral (sp?).  My mom has to drive me home after the injection so I am assuming it is a pretty powerful shot.  Pray for me that it knocks out this damn headache.  I hope to join the world of the living again soon.  Oh, and I have an appointment with a neurologist tomorrow to investigate if this is indeed a migraine or something more serious

Oh no!  I hope the demeral helps.

Could these be rebound migraines from the narcotics youve taken?? what prescription meds did you try?

I hate migraines...i feel for you, big time.  the only time I have on last longer than 24 hours is right before my period....AND if I take the wrong medicine. Advil gives me a rebound or any narcotic, like hydrocodone, fioricet, type meds...

I hope you feel better soon!

I have had horrible headaches and am seeing an ear nose and throat specialist next week.  The latest theory is that there is something wrong with my sinuses that affects my breathing and that as a result I clench my teeth at night, which causes the headache.  I have seen soooo many doctors about these headaches but I am really hopeful that this might be the answer.  I hope you are able to figure it out and feel better!

Migraine headaches suck.  Keeping the room cool, avoiding loud noises and lights help me.  BTW, it helps to keep a headache journal.  I kept a log of my headaches and was able to establish a pattern and identify certain triggers. 

Do you drink alot of red liquids?  The red foodcoloring is a trigger for me as is MSG.  Feel better soon!

I hope you feel better soon and I hope the neurologist can figure out what's going on. You poor thing!

BTW, where were you staying in Hawaii? We went to the Big Island for our honeymoon and I had migraines almost every day from the active volcano, even though we were staying on the polar opposite side of the island from it.

Also, how long ago was your mc?  This possibly could all be attributed to the flux in hormones. A day or so after I delivered both my girls, I got horrible migraines for quite awhile.  I took a ton of my perscription meds and they aren't cheap!!

i have had week long migraines before- they are the worst.

i hope the shot helps.

if not- get a facial/cranial massage... and hopefully the neuro will have some advice.  (((HUGS)))
