Migraines are ruining my life


by: Jenni on Tue, Oct 02 2007

I have suffered with migraines for 24 years usually 1 or 2 a month. Until about 5 months ago then every time I exercised I would begin to vomit and then the migraine would set in for about 2 to 5 hours at a time, I was working out 4 days a week so I stopped working out. Then about 9 weeks ago I woke up with a migraine that no medication I had could get rid of, it lasted 3 days and again 5 days later woke with another 3 day migraine then 3 days later the next one lasted 5 days and the only reason I got rid of it was because my doctor gave me an injection and 150mg tramadol tablets and again last week after 3 days I went and got another injection, a few times the migrains have lasted just the one day. These migraines are different from my normal migraines as I suffer badly with nausea and it is noise and smell, not light, that is intolerable. I have one at the moment behind my left eye it started last night so the medication has had time to take the edge off but my right side is weakened. It is very hard to concentrate and I feel as if I am going crazy my doctor ordered a ct scan but nothing showed up. I am getting forgetful and some days Its as if I have had a stroke I get numbness and tingling down the opposite side of my face and body to the migraine and my lips go numb. My husband said that when I am really bad I stutter or ramble and he has no idea what I am saying. I hope this isn’t the rest of my life.

    I started getting migraines in high school, I would get an aura, and I’d have about 20 minutes to find meds. I tried Darvocet which worked for a few years, I would only get one every six months or so. [more..]

    I am 39 years of age, and whilst I had suffered migraine in my early 20’s, I had not experienced any episodes for a vast number of years. My migraines now are quite different to those I had years ago, and in fact are only one part of the problem. This new wave of migraines have created a permanent problem with vertigo, which is probably more frustrating than the headaches. I had a number of scans, both CT and MRI and Migraine Associated with Vertigo (MAV) is the diagnosis. [more..]

    I have suffered from migraines from the age of 9 and I am just about to turn 22. The auras that I see are at least helpful to let me know when to take medicine, but also makes things hard when I am at work, school…making it difficult to see and focus. [more..]
