I have suffered from severe chronic migraines since I was 5. I get about 1 or more a week. Sometimes they are so intense I vomit from the pain. I've been to doctors about this and have been perscribed everything under the sun, nothing works. They've increased in intensity over the years. One doctor believes I may have even opened up small fissures in my skull as a result from the pressure. Does anyone else here have this problem? How do you cope? |

I think you should watch Pi and realise your true purpose! |
||||||||
|

I swear to God I feel just like the guy from Pi (except for the part about being super-smart). |

Ah shit, that sounds bad. I suffer from really bad headaches. I never used to get them but I seem to be getting them nearly every day now. It's so intensely frustrating and it fucking hurts. It's always there and it pisses me off. I feel like I know why I get them though. I think I don't drink enough water and I don't get enough sleep. I try not to use painkillers but when I do it seems to do the job. |

my dad is the same.. headaches all his life, increasingly getting worse. he started taking pills to relieve water retention, and at the same time quit his job that was stressing him out, and the frequency of his headaches DRASTICALLY reduced. So much so that I can't remember the last time I saw him face down on the couch in deathly pain.. whereas a couple of years ago he was like that at least once a week. that supports my theory that i'd had for a decade, that they were heavilly stress related. also, since he doesn't have a job he's been fucking around outside a whole lot more, and watching significantly less television, which i believe also plays a huge role in the lessening of his headaches. i'd say his quality of life has grown exponentially as his headaches have grown less frequent. |

Did you stare into the sun when you were a child maybe?? Man throwing up because of a headache is pretty rough! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow the worst I've had is not being able to move, the vomiting part is (sad smiley). |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Shit I subconsciously copied your wording there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I stare into the sun everyday. You don't think there is a connection, do you? |
||||||||
|
|

fuck i used to do the same ; i didnt know it wasn't good when i was young shit |

my dad's tried all the prescription medicines you have too, pdt. topamax is the worst soul-sucking poison i've ever seen. i hated seeing him when he was on that bullshit. he lost like 40 pounds, and didn't enjoy anything. it was scarilly sad. but, then within a week or two of stopping it he was getting better. that shit should be illegal. |
||||||||

Yeah I remember that. I think I copped some from him.. |

i REALLY don't like speaking of diseases and that, really |

There is this great book "The Devil's Larder" by Jim Crace (total recommendation) with a story about migraines. They list things that could trigger a migraine. It is hillarious, and so true.. because so many of the triggers contradict themselves. Like "too much exercise / not enough exercise.." I'll dig it up when I get home and transcribe it (if I am not dying of death pain) *(i have a migraine right now) |

pops is back to his old self now. life is good. he's probably in one of his sheds working on making a hot air balloon out of dogwood branches, or drawing up schematics for some experimental pair of eyeglasses or something right now. |

post a pic of him. |

I've never vomited for no reason, but I do get incredibly stressed and I feel it all over my muscles and in my head. I forget to breathe normally and have to remind myself. So how do I deal with it? I smoke weed and drink after work almost everyday. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stress is a major trigger for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
post-stress is a big trigger for me. I can have a huge stress thing and be fine, but as soon as I relax i get a migraine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a headache after an exam for instance, i think it's becuz i watch the text of the exam and my pieces of papers too near, whereas eyes need to look far |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats odd. I dunno what to tell you except, stop taking the B.S. the doctors give you and experiment on your own. Not like, 'hey lets ingest random shit' but like, maybe a change in lifestyle. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oddly, at work i seem to only have an old picture of him when he was on topamax, and it's too sad looking. |
||||||||
|

oh shit you got to post it now. |
||||||||

you may regret that later on in life. |

That is exactly what I look like right now (except I don't have my scrubs on). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always go to sleep when i get a headache, put on some chill music and reeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxx. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sleeping too long (usually for more than eight hours), and a too long pause between meals are the triggers for me. I don't get them so often though |
||||||||
|
|

If you brain was putting enough pressure on your skull to open fissures you'd be dead. dead. dead. You're doctor is a tool! Fire him and you are sure to feel much better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know how it feels... i suffer from regular headaches that are often so intense that i feel like throwing up, too. the only thing i can do is take painkillers and try to fall asleep asap (tho i often even cannot sleep 'cause of that pain) but i've noticed that neck & back massage REALLY can help ease the muscle tension and relieve the pain... so you might get somebody do a relaxing massage on your back, neck and shoulders (better on a regular basis, of course). |

Had them my whole life (since i was about 11 anyway) i usually go about 80% blind. Then once i can see again the super brain pain kicks in. Dark room, no sound + vomiting. I really hate them. Use to get one about every 2-3weeks, nowdays about 1 a year thank fuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes: dark room, no sound and sometimes vomiting. I usually get them in the morning, so I'm more or less disabled the whole day. luckily they have always gone away during next night's sleep. have anyone of you had migraines lasting several days? it must be horrible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i normally have them for about 12 hours, but for the next few days my brain feels "bruised" , kinda like i've been kicked in the head. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Blimey there's a lot of migraine sufferers here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I get a decently bad headache every Sunday but nothing that drives me batty. But I feel for you, chronic things like migraines and back pains and tinnitus and whateverandever must be uncool. So many people suffering from migraines, so many people don't seem to know why. Thcary. |

Electronic music maybe? |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I was about to say the same :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me it's got probably something to do with that my parents have migraines, i'm not in a very good shape, i don't go out enough and i don't eat properly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also get really severe ones with the whole "aura" thing causing partial blindness and the vomiting. This link address' what might be the problem for some people: |

Hole in the heart!? "It is passed into the heart after being inserted through an incision in a vein in the groin area." !!?? Thats kind of scary....... |

I have only had a handful, it must be horrible for you to have them so frequently. I haven't had one for a few years now, I think 4 years. Mine were always precluded by a blind spot in the center of my vision. The first time I was in fifth grade, about 11 years old? I didn't know what was going on, I was in band class and I couldn't see the notes direclty in front of my vision, it was blank right where I looked. Another time it also caused facial deformities. It looked like everyone had a black/deformed left eye when I looked directly at their face. If I have these symptoms I try to fall asleep very quickly before the pain sets in. Also get loss of sensation in extremeties, tingling hands/feet. I have vomited once from a migraine. I feel your pain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
>Also get loss of sensation in extremeties, me too tho i have never had any auras or vision distortions.. when my headache is gone though it does seem thaht i can see a little better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep i hear the loss of sensation in extremeties part. Apparently there is a corrolation between the onset of puberty and migraines something to do with hormones (hence why a lot of people like myself and mappatazee started getting them at about 11 years old) or so one doctor told me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never figured out what my triggers were. I get spotty vision temporarily (a small dot or blotch for a minute or two) when I haven't eaten for a while. The pain for me is (or was, I haven't had one for so long) right behind my eyes, like I want to rip them out. I really don't get headaches anymore other than hangovers, so I'm guessing it probably was triggered by hormones while I was growing up, being that migraines are a chemical thing. |

Ja, wrote my response before reading yours, but that must be it. |

sleeping too long (usually for more than eight hours), and a too long pause between meals are the triggers for me. I don't get them so often though fuck. i think you've solved my problem. seriously. lifestyle change time. i am a waster |
