Hmm reading all this reminds me of how i felt yesterday
It started in my temples, then moved in behind my eyes where it stayed all day and then when i got home from work, the lights were irritating me.. I took two nurophen which did nothing for me.. I went to bed and my eyes were shutting from the pain, it was so bad.. went to sleep and woke up with a residual headache but its bearable today..

How odd...]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:38:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=405567&title=migranes#405567 <![CDATA[Migranes : I get them quite badly (used to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=405290&title=migranes#405290 Author: emz

I get them quite badly (used to get one every day when I was a teen and almost failed School C cos I couldn't go to school enough). Mine often make me end up in bed. I can't eat, open my eyes, talk, every little movement is just a nightmare.

I take Nadolol which is a beta-blocker for them. Used to take 3 (and will have to when I go back to work full-time) but at the mo only have to take 1 during the day.]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:12:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=405290&title=migranes#405290 <![CDATA[Migranes : Mine are like Fionas too.

Mine are like Fionas too.  I have just started getting them.....bloody pregnancy!  I had 2 yesterday.  Thankfully I dont get a bad headache.  As soon as I get the visual aura I take panadol.  But they are weird things...especially when you cant talk properly afterwards....so frustrating.  

 

Did anyone find they got more/less with a pregnancy?  My mum suffers badly with them so I am not suprised to get them but hers went away when she was pregnant and mine have started

Yeah I was in bed by then and well asleep too.

I did get tested and I was fine.

My head still hurts this morning, but I think that maybe from other reasons. I am going to take some more drugs thou.

I haven't had a decent migraine for a while but mine are like Fiona's. End up with me not being able to talk or make any sense of anything anyone is saying to me and the only thing that fixes it is sleeping in a dark room (dosed up on drugs - nurofen plus, paramax (?), or panadeine all do OK)

Doing anything that involves eye strain, watching tv, reading, knitting, or computer work only makes things a lot worse.

I also get bad headaches and have to avoid all of the above, take drugs and drink an awful lot of water.]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:48:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=405101&title=migranes#405101 <![CDATA[Migranes : I was given Brufen Retard for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=405085&title=migranes#405085 Author: caraMel

I was given Brufen Retard for mine (Dr was very quick to assure me that it doesn't mean I'm a retard )
Its a slow release tablet which seems to work pretty well for me, so long as I take them quickly enough when I feel it starting. ]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:14:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=405085&title=migranes#405085 <![CDATA[Migranes : Migraines for me start with a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=405077&title=migranes#405077 Author: AngieBabe

Migraines for me start with a stiff neck feeling, like I've slept funny on it... then it moves in behind my eye and usually gets to the point where it feels like someone is squeezing my eyeball from the inside. I also get overwhelming tiredness and occasionally a real sensitivity to light... oh and I vomit!

Usually after the puking bit I sleep and after that the pain has gone - just a bit groggy. Panadol does absolutely nothing, if I take nurofen early enough it'll mute things so I can still function but the best thing I've used has been voltaren suppositories - not the most pleasant thing to 'administer' but apparently the pain relief enters your system faster this way as blood vessels are very close to the surface here!]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:04:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=405077&title=migranes#405077 <![CDATA[Migranes : I took panadol at 7pm and it has...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=404999&title=migranes#404999 Author: mummy_becks

I took panadol at 7pm and it has done nothing so I am going to take some codine as that is all I have in the cupboard that I can take.

There's a couple of options and I've been on them:
Tilcotil (can also be injected if it's really bad).
Imigram (sp) This is more of a preventative.
Paradex (like taking lollies for me).

Some migraines are focal i.e. include a visual aura. Others are just a nasty headache. I only get focal migraines so can't help with the others.

Rest is the best thing. Coffee helps mine too but for some people coffee is a trigger.]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 20:12:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=404902&title=migranes#404902 <![CDATA[Migranes : Above my eyes ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=404900&title=migranes#404900 Author: mummy_becks

Same as Mel. My vision goes blurry, my head throbs, I get nauseous and often my hand/lip go numb. Once my vision clears, I tend to muddle my words and make no sense for an hour or so. For a few days after my head hurts if I bend over or move to quickly.

I made the mistake of trying some fish oils yesteday and bingo - have a migraine today. They say fish oil helps but it causes migraines for me. I had a hideous one today. ]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 20:10:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=404895&title=migranes#404895 <![CDATA[Migranes : So queasiness is common with them??...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17965&PID=404892&title=migranes#404892 Author: mummy_becks
