Migraines , who suffers from them here?

Neil79 · 19 Feb 2011 at 15:37

Had one this morning, really bad with pain on both sides of my head which messed up my vision. Could not raise my head at all, three nurofen and that didn't touch it. Had to have a friend drop of some migralievs(?) took two pinks and then it started. Puking up so much i was air puking and i finally fell asleep and woke up two hours later feeling like a hangover. I get them rarely, just nasty ones with vision loss on occasion however i did wonder why i was still peppy at 2.30am!

Mum gets them a lot worse than i do and more often and i understand what she goes through, she has a hole in her heart and does end up with paralitic migrains. So anyone else here suffer from them?

This isn't a doctor/hospital advice thread!!!!!!

Check if you're got half a knife lodged into your head.

I've had them since I was 2. They wore off in my early teens but now I get them in spates. As soon as I'm getting a headache I take tablets to try and control it but other then that it always leads to me being sick.

Oh the joys.

I get migraines and really bad headaches also. Would get bad headaches daily but this is the 4th day where I've not taken anything for them and I feel way better than when I would be constantly doped up on nurofen plus etc.

I get them now and again since about 3-4 years ago. I can go fine for a month or two but then get two in a week. I can't do much bar just going to bed and trying to get to sleep asap.

Had one for the last 6 years (and I don't mean just a single day, I mean six years :eek:

)

Medication takes the edge off, but nothing has fixed it so far

try using syndol tablets.

you can get over the counter from a pharmacy.

my wife has bad migraines and the syndol helps quite a bit.

I SUFFER FROM MIGRAINES!

And I found the causes for it, i.e staying on the computer for long periods and dehydration causes it. Just wanted to point it out!

Van Hellseek · 19 Feb 2011 at 16:02

Tbh I always thought 'migrain' was basically just a make-believe excuse women used when they didn't want sex.

Or a middle-class way of saying "a bit of a headache".

~>Dg<~ · 19 Feb 2011 at 16:03

i get them when weather changes mostly storms

d_brennen · 19 Feb 2011 at 16:07

2 or 3 times a year, usually brought on by working insane hours!

Like my mum, who has a hole in her heart and hardly ever uses the computer but thats ok because you found the cause for it being a computer and dehydration

. That's why i see that ocuk doesn't do medical advice, i hadn't used the computer hardly at all yesterday as i was out from 6 till 1am!

Migrains for me come about due to

Sleep Issues
Sore Neck
Heat, if it gets too hot
and Storms.

When it comes to computers, i just get headaches or sore eyes but that's through way too much usage
