This is very interesting!! I have had headaches that start behind my eyeball and I have had three doctors tell me that they have no idea what that is.
That should be another topic.
Hi dozer,
I'm wishing you a speedy recovery!
I had seizures from a new medication. When I had the first one, my husband took me right to the emergency room. They looked at me like "you're wasting our time for a seizure??" -- Sorry, to ME and my husband who had to witness it, it WAS an emergency! I also left there with no clue on why, what to do, just a phone number to a Neuro to follow up with. She didn't seem to take it seriously either. Good thing I figured it out it was the meds, before I wasted any more money.
Are seizures that common and harmless now, that the hospital and doctors don't put much effort into them? At least, mine didn't.
I have Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania. It is pretty well controlled by Indomethicin. I also have Trigeminal Neuralgia that causes a different type of headache. I rarely get migraines anymore since I found controlling my blood sugar usually keeps that in control. I do rarely get a migraine with stormy weather. So if I get a headache from fibromyalgia, I'm not sure what characteristics one would have.
My CPH causes an extreme electric shock feeling in my temple
TN causes a burning pain in a specific spot of my head
I describe migraine pain as feeling like a 3 day brain freeze
I do occassionally get a headache that feels like my head is in a vice....is that the FM?
It's ridiculous that I have to try to analyze what is causing each headache so I know what meds may need adjusted. So when I read the side effects on a med that says it can cause headaches I just want to scream.
I know it, seems that the meds that are designed to help a problem can actually cause it to be even worse! How does that happen anyway? Are some people wired that differently?
I'm certainly wired up wrong! But thats a whole different show! lol.
But yes, the meds that help one problem can create another one, then you need something for the side effects of that and then you have to see another specialist at the hospital. Round and round the garden...
Before you know it you're an organ donor!
(Omg shut up Jo!)
I realy don't have an answer for that. What I imagine is that its all a delicate balance of hormones chemicals and genetic predisposition. Anything you add to the mix has a different effect on each persons total balance of all these things.
Sort of like adding vinegar to oil for salad dressing is a completely different outcome than adding vinegar to baking soda. We all have different "Recipies". This is my Over simplified explanation to myself.
Makes sense to me!
LOL, Jo! I hope we don't end up as organ donors or recipients! (I swear, it was only one tiny little ibuprofin that I sneaked in!)
I like this! Some of us are oil and vinegar people, others are baking soda and vinegar persons. I think I'm one of the latter, as I tend to explode a bit.
I surely wish I knew the answer, SK! We're all made of the same components, all have organs, bones and tissue, all have cells, DNA, blood....and yet each one of us is so unique biologically.
They're not gonna want my organs anymore anyway!
Hippie, I think you have something there!
Hahaha! Will you fail the drug test? Then you can join the Chinese team in the olympics...
Dozer,
Thinking of you and hoping for the best…
xxxx
Yep I've had them conssitently lately and they are brutal. Mostly they are the sensitive to light kind and nothing helps. iget migraines from almost any med I take so the IBU Ive been taking for my hand has been causing migraines so I stopped and suffer
LMFAO!!!
:-(
Let's hope that your organs are well and stay that way. Optimism, SK! That, plus biologics.
That's like robbing Peter to pay Paul. Unfair that you can't take a necessary pain med due to horrible migraines. UGH. The headaches sound truly awful.
I hope those of you who suffer from this find a way to get relief. I used to get awful ones so know how painful they are. My heartfelt sympathy to all of you.
Aw that sucks Mo!
