One of my worst ever on Sunday - still recovering

Ow.  I have had migraines for over 20 years and Sunday I had one of my worst ever.  The whole day was a blur of pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.    I couldn't keep any food down and no pain meds were helping.  Yesterday I had to miss work due to pain and fatigue (not a wink of sleep the night before from pain).   Sooo, today, I still with a throbbing head, dizzy, sweaty on and off etc etc.  I made an emergency appt with my PCP who is in charge of most of my care even though I see specialists.

Thank you Ann. I just feel soooooooo weird today. I have always had a few days of residual stuff, but this doesn't feel right.

As for the ER papers, I know if I had them completed on Sunday, I would have gone to the ER. I just couldn't deal with any thinking that day.

Cheryl-

I'm glad that you are going to see your PCP. However, when I get a really horrible, awful, wish you could die migraine, I sweat, my face flushes with an almost butterfly pattern across my cheeks. Then I get cold, my hands get clammy and I'm so dizzy I can't walk. So you're not alone. But it's good to be cautious and follow up with the doc.

I had a tilt table test done a couple of years ago and found that I have orthostatic hypotension. What that means is that when I change position quickly, go from lying down to sitting or standing, my blood pressure does a nose dive and my heart rate goes way up. I'm on some meds to keep that from happening as much. However, when a bad migraine hits, these symptoms come back full force. Not fun, just increases the nausea.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I know what you're going through. I hope you feel better soon.
