Migraines after surgery? First aura

[dreamingofasleeve 89]

Did anyone have Migraines before surgery that got worse after?

I think I experienced my first aura tonight.

I am 3 week's post op.

I had a rainbow sort of zig zag ring that was impairing my vision.

It lasted about 30 mins but went away. However it scared the crap out of me.

Has anyone experienced this?

I have those a lot. Sometimes a headache follows... sometimes it is just an aura. Lasts 30 minutes as well. I’m checking in with my neurologist next week to see what is going on!

I’ve had Migraine since I was 14. Had surgery 12/10/19 down 34 lbs and my migraine are horrible! I have had one for every day for almost a month! I am currently waiting for insurance approval to try Botox!! My family all seems to think it’s bc I’m not eating enough and there are days I feel feel pressure to eat more! I think I’m eating too much I feel like I should have lost more by now! I struggle to get in exercise because of the migraines! Hopefully I get approved to try Botox
My current migraine meds are not working!

Are you eating more artificial sweeteners? I've found those give me terrible Migraines. I've also switched from Depakote to Aimovig (a once a month shot) as a preventative - it has really helped. Which is good because I'm not allowed to have any of my rescue medications at the moment because they all have stuff I can't have.

Also make sure you're getting enough Water and not getting dehydrated.

I was drinking crystal light mixes daily and just recently stopped because the doctor said that could be a trigger. I only have 1 kidney so I am very limited on the medication I can take that is why we are opting for Botox.

Knock on wood, I had surgery 121118 and have had no Migraines since. They started as a teenager, mostly menstrual, less since menopause but I have a lot of food triggers too and I'm not eating most of those foods.
