Hi all
Am new to migraines. Am 42 years old and 3 months ago had first one. I thought I had heart attack. But things didn’t add up cause I didn’t had chest pain nor arm pain. Just slurred speech
Luckily I had morphine left over from kidney stone I had month before migraine attack. But morphine didn’t work. Had to take Advil and Tylenol too. Than I fall a sleep and when I woke up I was just tired but head was fine.
I went to fam doc for something else and at the end I mentioned headache and… read more
Oh my goodness. I don’t know what to say to your ? of what type of migraine that is. Being a nurse I think I would have to say maybe a TIA, which is a sort of ‘small stroke’ if that markes any sense. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through dear! Love and light always! Katie 🤓
It sounds like a type of Hemiplegic migraine.
Not good to mix motrin, tylenol and advil all together.
Try Aleve with an anti nausea like gravol. That works for me the best.
For some people tylenol with caffine works great.
Be careful mixing pain meds. You can cause yourself problems and rebound headaches.
This will sound crazy, but I bought a "My Pillow" and it helped keep me from waking up with migraines.
Hello, it sounds very much like my migraines. Chronic hemiplegic! Not fun!! I was initially told to go to A&E as my GP thought I might have had a TIA/Mini stroke. Facial tingling, numbness, odd vision, not blurred just not right. Limb weakness on left side but no loss of power or ability. All the symptoms but short lived! All tests, MRI. Results is Migraine. Had since 2016. On 30mg Amytriptaline every night. Sumatriptan, emergency meds when migraine comes on. I've checked all food types, changed diet, had daith pierced, reflexology. Nothing works. At least it doesn't terrify me now that I know the symptoms. Hope this gives a bit of insight.
It reminds me of my migraines. I have hemiplegic migraines, and for me they mimic a stroke almost completely. Right side pain, left side paralysis. I have slurred speech, memory issues, light and noise sensitivity. It is literally feeling like someone is stabbing me with an icepick. My first one hospitalized me for 5 days because they thought I'd had a stroke. The "stroke-like" symptoms lasted so long. Narcotic wise the only one that works for me also is dilaudid, but I have to add caffiene to it. I usually use a BC powder or a Goody's powder and I am ok from the pain. I just need to rest and let the rest pass. Afterward I feel like all my stuffing has been scrambled and I need a nap for days. BC powder is aspirin and caffiene, and Goody's is Aspirin, tylenol and caffiene (basically an Excedrin migraine, just in powdereed form).
