Michelle Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 I like that idea Michelle. I started a diary on the migraine trust website, but I'm not sure if it's detailed enough Lucy, I was thinking of doing that as well, but I thought it would be nice to have somewhere where I could put details.

ToniLianne Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thankfully I've only ever had a couple of actual migraines, usually I just suffer with bad headaches one/twice a month. I'm unsure what triggers them, but I generally get one around my period so they could possibly be hormonal. I take codis, which contain codeine and aspirin and they are dissolved in water. I find them quite effective with the pain, but they don't taste very nice or help with the nausea much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Ugh, I'm in migraine city right now. Sleep and stress usually set mine off. I took Excedrin a few hours ago, but so far it hasn't helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I had another one last night my eyeballs felt like they had hot pins in, hubby even offered to take me to A&E bless. Just left with a residual headache and feeling groggy today. Looks like the beta blockers don't work either so I'll be visiting my GP again soon.

Echo Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I've had a migraine now for the past few days. I got really sick at work yesterday and almost decided to come home. I'm thinking that I should finally bring this up with my doctor, which I've never done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply K Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I think I suffer from migraines, although in all fairness I've never had it officially diagnosed. Although I don't get headaches that often, sometimes once a week, sometimes once every couple of weeks, when I do get one it tends to be pretty bad. It comes on usually roundabout mid-afternoon, although occasionally they've started slightly later than that, and they progressively get worse to the point where my concentration levels are completely out the window, my eyes ache, I feel nauseous, although I've never actually physically been sick, and the only thing that helps is by taking myself off to bed. Nine times out of ten when I wake up the next morning they've completely gone, however occasionally I'm left with a slight manageable headache that usually goes completely within an hour or two.

madcow Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Well since the end of Feb I've only had one migraine last Monday which was completely down to stress! The new tablets from my GP are doing something Don't get me wrong I've not been totally headache free but they have been manageable with strong pain killers and apart from last Monday I've not lost any days at work since February I was keeping a diary listing everything I did and ate but I've given up as according to my GP I unfortunately don't always have to have a trigger to get a migriane I did a bit of research on the old interwebs and also on advice from GP I now lead a very boring life! I try and go to bed and get up around the same time every day as having a lie in can trigger a migraine as can not having enough sleep, I'm also making sure I eat regularly and drink plenty of fluids, missed meals and dehydration are another cause. I am also avoiding alcohol and if I do partake I am only having a few and I'm completely avoiding red wine (one glass completely ruined my Christmas Day last year I am also avoiding sitting out or going out for too long in the sun as even with good sunglasses can be a cause.
