Migraines

[Gaysie]

Hi! Everyone. I suffer from migraines and have done for at least 25 years. I enjoy the outdoors and family time.

Hey Gaysie, sounds like your managing your migraines fine for now, i too love out doors but I'm lucky these days if i get into my garden.

Be well 😆

[Gaysie in reply to Cally01]

I don't manage them. I get about 2 days a week without one. I don't like taking so much medication. Have decided to try a naturopath. 😊

[Cally01 in reply to Gaysie]

Awe 😢 I have them every day 24/7, i had a break os about a month with background headache which didn't turn to migraine from June to July but that's down to the treatment im having for my jaw.

Have you never seen neurology in 25yrs? I've had migraine 38yrs now, managed them quite well until 2014 when they changed.

No quality of life, can't arrange things, go anywhere and problems holding down jobs , it's just horrific 😣

[Gaysie in reply to Cally01]

Very sad for you. Yes I have a brain scan twice. I am looking fwd to see naturopath. You take care.

[Cally01 in reply to Gaysie]

You too 😆 let me know how neuropathy goes 😆

Good luck 👍

[Gaysie in reply to Cally01]

Naturopath. I will indeed.

[Cally01 in reply to Gaysie]

Oops !! Fat fingers 😆

Good luck 😆

Hi you sound like same as me at the moment I feel like givin up I've had migrains since I was 16 now 59 still got um tryed all kinds of meds to no avail now they want to try botox I'm very unsure about this as it is injecting stuff I don't know the pills are already bad enough I hate it all I get like electronic shocks in my head when I get relief from the pain which out of a month is about 2 days and it's hard to explain to the consultant they don't listen really just fire out questions then don't let you answer all just quick answers .sorry going on a bit feel down exhausted and fed up of it. Hope you too get relief. Jay

[Gaysie in reply to Honkyjayne]

I take rizamelt at onset. Magic meds. I would definitely do botox but I can't afford it. So if you can, give it a go.

[jackiesutton62 in reply to Gaysie]

Hi if you are in the UK Botox is available on NHS through referral by Neurologist

[Gaysie in reply to jackiesutton62]

Certainly not in New Zealand. That's where I live

[jackiesutton62 in reply to Gaysie]

Ah that's a shame. My friend in NZ takes Norpress 10mg at night and thinks they're wonderful. Good luck

[Gaysie in reply to jackiesutton62]

Yes I have heard of that. I am going to try a naturopath next week. I also take magnesium tablet everyday.

[babs1234 in reply to Gaysie]

Sounds like you suffer from cluster headaches.. do you get auras

[Gaysie in reply to babs1234]

Yes. I so get auras but if I do I get no headache. No aura, get headache.

[babs1234 in reply to Gaysie]

Yes I have had silent auras and headaches without aura and Headaches with aura. So many different variations 😟

[Gaysie in reply to sa7ar]

I take rizamelt at onset which I melt on my tongue and controls the headache

[sa7ar in reply to Gaysie]

Thank you Gaysie in replying

I'm on rizatripan 10mg maxlt melt table for 6 month now + topiramate 25mg daily. And still can't cope with it .

[Gaysie in reply to sa7ar]

That makes me so sad for you. It's just not fair is it?

[sa7ar in reply to Gaysie]

I'm very sorry GAysie !😇😇

[Margauxjean in reply to Gaysie]

Gaysie, how many Rizamelt per month do you take on average?

[Gaysie in reply to Margauxjean]

Sometimes 3 over 24 hour period. It's hard to put an actual amount.
