[lovingmomof3 20]

I suffer from Migraines & they have been under control for the past 4 months

But for some reason this morning I was woken up by a Migraine that usually puts me in er for a shot to relieve the pain.

I am hoping this dont mess me up for surgery on Friday.

I see my surgeon today.

Anyone else deal with migraines any & all advice welcome please & thank you

i have Migraines - what exactly are you asking? i haven't really had any change in mine yet - the weight loss hasn't made any difference in them. I was hoping it would but i guess that it isn't going to be the case with me. i was able to take my meds even when on my liquid diet - even after surgery - while in the hospital - just talk to your doc about them and see what he tells you but i am sure he will ease your mind about it. i hope you are feeling better soon.

My Migraines actually got better since surgery

I got Migraines for years prior to surgery. THey are believed to be hormonal. I'm most apt to get a good one at that time of the month.

The only thing that has helped reduce the frequency is topiramate. Then if I do get one, I will take a presciption pain killer and it knocks it down. It is what works for me. Fortunately, it's not too often. Only twice have I ended up in the ER for a shot to break one.

I stopped the topiramate after surgery, hoping that all of the changes would some how be a help. For the first two months, I didn't have any headaches. Then they started to creep back in to my life. By month 4 I asked to go back on the topiramate.

The problem with migraines is...everyone is different. I'm 52 and haven't gone through menopause. I hope when I do, and the hormones settle down, that the migraines will stop. (I can hope!)

Unless there's some other factor, I wouldn't think they'd cancel surgery because you popped a Migraine before surgery. Unless you're "medicating" for it and it interferes with the anestesia. Just try to relax and look forward to that nice sleep :-) Good luck!!

i would just ask the doc - but i don't see why they would - unless your meds would interfere with the anesthesia - you might have to fight it cold turkey if you get one that day if that is the case - i can't really tell you 'cause i'm not a doctor. lol

Tomorrow I am going to do nothing but relax that way I dont have to pop anything so far I am just taking my topiramate as directed & uped my fluids took a pain pill but not helping so after drs coming back home to my blacked out room

I get them and that's been a concern of mine, especially with the food intake restrictions. The last thing I need is a shot in my behind to break it up. My doctors office told me to continue taking my medication now and after surgery since its small enough to swallow. Good luck.
