Migraines

[Tb613 44]

I'm normally prone to Migraines but day 3 of this pre-op slim time liquid diet and I can't seem to shake it. Normally ill take a few Advil and my prescription and it will go away but now it's not doing anything.

I'm also mindful that I won't be able to take Advil after surgery which is worrying me !

For me, stress that you are putting on your body through now would give me a Migraine that would put me in bed for a couple days hoping I would die soon. Fortunately, I didn't have any special diet leading to surgery, but post-op I did have a wopper migraine.

The good news for me is that my Migraines have become rare visitors. I had a horrible one about a month ago when I realized I hadn't had one in over a year.

I hope you can hang in and have similar results as me or better.

Good luck. Try to relax, you know what to do.

What do you take for your Migraines post-op?

Narcotics. Lots of narcatics.

Seriously, the Migraine meds I tried either conflicted with other meds, or didn't work, or were worse than the migraine. I had liver issues, so anything hard on my liver is a no-no.

I take narcotics for chronic joint pain from arthritis, DDD, and carrying around an extra 400 pounds for 20 years.

For Migraines, a cool compress in a dark, quiet room with meds to make me sleep until it's gone is my go to. One migraine years ago, probably my worst ever, I slept for 5 days. It got so bad I was afraid I was going do die. Then it got worse, and I was afraid I wouldn't die.

Fortunately, they are getting less frequent. I think it is the weight loss primarily, but I've also change my job to be much less stressful.

Hang in there, and good luck with surgery.

Botox shots for Migraines cured mine. I go every three months and suffer through 30 or so shots then i dont even need an abortive for the next three months. I feel the predome symptoms start to come on but the Migraine cant seem to come on. Highly recommend!
