Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Migraine Meds and D??

I'm sorry! I had a migraine for like at least 3 months straight. Like all the doctors at first didn't think it was possible. Actually. My ex-dr. just thought i was depressed and didn't even ask me where my head hurt when i said i had a headache...he just said anyone over seven can get headache. Can't they give you something in an IV to "break the cycle' It's funny. They use that term for migraines also. I eventually was in the hospital and they gave me this medicine through my IV that helped me and gave me ice packs for my head. Just a thought. You might need something in an IV because I was a zombie in agony and could like barely see...felt like I was going to throw up...and afterwards it was better. I've still had to get my meds adjusted but I"m a lot better than I was a few months ago. So just athought that you might need to "break the cycle." That's just about the point where I was at when they took my MRI. I could barely even walk I was so zonked. I really hopeyou feel better. Okay? Update us. Also. Right now I'm on Verapamil at a higher dose and a lower dose of Topamax. I know for a fact that being on a high dose of topamax or any antiseizure medicine zonked me out but i didn't admit it at the time ..all i could do was write with my left hand and i'm right handed. The verapamil helped me (i get migraines and daily headaches) so that my headache was only any where from a 4 to a 6 every day on pain scale with bad ones mixed in sometimes....and then the topamax seems to be helping more now...but I can function too without that fog. OK. That probably didn't help you. I just wanted to help because ...yeah. Sorry if i bored you. Feel better okay? I'm sending you headache-go-away powers!!!!!!!!!
