Wether I am having a migraine every morning for 4 days now! is because of my low INR or is it because of the disapointment of our trip we were supposed to have had on Sunday to Wednesday ?
We won a caravan on ebay on the Friday & was really looking forward to going on a photography trip with hubby where we were meeting up with friends in Northumbria but over 1/2 way....we broke down our landrover developed problems & overheated, we had to get a recovery truck take us back home...& it cost us £240!!!
I have felt so low with it all as I havn't felt well with high blood pressure & low INR so I sort of felt it was my way of getting away from it by going away, hubbys had to go away for 3 days now too....so I feel quite fed up at mo'....more than normal!!
I suppose it's the combination of both ?
Hopefully we'll still get a couple of days next month to get away but to somewhere a little nearer, but I doubt if we'll get the weather we are having right now!
I hope you are all ok & don't feel too poorly Sue xx

Hi there, what a lot of bad luck, separate incidents have conspired together to make a big disappointment... I can just imagine how annoying it all is... things can only get better. My husband calls it ;
'the what next' syndrome when things like this happen in our family. That caravan will get a good old trip soon. We go off quite a bit all year around... the change of scene is good for all of us. Hope you feel better soon.
Yes that caravan will see lots of places! & hubbys gigs!!! I just need a break from reality I think at the mo' like all of us I guess, like you said too many negative things all at once...not good, take care x
I`m so sorry you had such disappointments and sorry you not feeling better. This crazy syndrome don`t half batter us sometimes.
I feeling like bit hit by a train too at the moment. So dizzy, headachy and absolutely shattered,mind I have been busy cleaning and sorting ready for the move. Closer it gets the more I`m dreading it, tip runs starting tomorrow get rid of some more junk, where does it all come from.
I hope you feeling better soon and that your luck changes too.
I feel for you with the Migraine as I have them continually. I have tablets which stops 98% of the pain. They are a nuisance and I which that they would go. Hope you feel better soon.
thanks all of you, the migraines went for one day then just to add to everything I have had 'kid' problems ..........well hes 23 & I think I prefered the terrible 2's !!
Migraines have come back! had a sumatriptan & it seems to have eased .....again.
Hopefully I'll get a good nights sleep tonight & see what tomorrow brings?!!

Hi there it's that time of year now when i seem to be in a constant migraine, either disrupted with the vision,smells, nausea, mood alterations, and all other bits or totally bedridden with the pain. Every doctor I have seen seems to have the attitude that I can't take any more medication that I already do or that anything they could give me is contra indicated. Everyone here seems to know all about their INR - I have never known my INR. I am going back to St thomas next month and now that they have a copy of my mri showing the areas of damage caused by aps perhaps they will let me have some proper antico-ag. my previous gp asked them to put me on warfarin 2 years ago but they said there was no evidence as i was seroneg. i am desperately hopeful that the magic INR will be the key to my migraine misery.
I had the same problem with Drs at St Thomas, i was extremelly lucky that my sister nagged at me to go on Aspirin,which helped my migraines for a while and when they stopped working, my dear sister paid for me to see Prof Hughes, who put me on heparin ( dispite being sero neg), and when that massively improved my migraines he put me on Warferin, love his cotton socks, I find when my INR is around 3.5-4 my migraines disapear or are very mild, and i know when my blood is thick before i get to have INR tested, as my migraines return, ( along with brain fog etc). I am just so grateful to Prof Hughes, as before i was having daily migraines and my cognitive abilities had dived into a bucket, now I am a functioing member of society. I dispair of the majority of Drs, especially disheartened that the St thomas Drs dont seem to have learnt anything from Prof Hughes. hope that you get the right treatment this time, all the very best
