Questions & Answers

When I get migraines like that, they usually start out as seeing auras and then once those go away it's the severe pain. I have found that drinking a cup of coffee (since you're allowed a max of two cups a day), a candy bar, and lots of water help as well as sitting in a dark room. Good luck and I hope you can get some relief.

another migraine yesterday :( Neurologist and OB both on the 21st (this Tuesday). Now I just pray I don't get one that day so I can get to them.. The migraine I got last week hit while I was driving and I had the visual disturbance to start it so needless to say I became panicked and am now afraid to drive anywhere (although I still push myself out the door for work).... this pregnancy is going to be a tough one :(

Thank you all so much! I've been seen in the past but they've always shrugged it off as migraines triggered by hormonal changes. I never heard any other possibilities like thyroid or caffeine.. crazy! I'll def mention these when I go in instead of settling for their usual answers. Yep, those are all my symptoms balled into one. loss of partial vision (or seeing black & white zig-zag flashy stuff), sensitivity to light/sound, confusion, loss of communication/understanding, half of entire body numbness (zero feeling), and once all of this stops I end up with a pounding headache for about 3-5 days . To sum it up I feel like I'm dying when I'm hit with all those symptoms! And the numbness is crazy..my 3rd pregnancy I went up stairs to my bed, while goin upstairs I couldn't feel my right foot hitting the stairs and I fell hearing a terrible pop (but didn't feel anything). How I didn't break my ankle is beyond me. I crawled the rest of the way up. Thanks again ladies!!
