Side effects to the Imitrex Nasal??

Okay I took the Imitrex the evening of Day 5 to get rid of the migraines and while they did, they also caused me to have some other problems: severe abdominal pain and headaches that wouldn't quit. I had those nasty headaches the last time I tried it (even mentioned that to my primary care doc at my last visit with her). I'm not pleased about the side effects of the Imitrex.

So you give me a drug to get rid of my migraines which causes nasty headaches that won't go away with medications and abdominal pain to boot?????

Does this sound like fun to anybody???

Migraine Day 5...Went to the Primary Care Doctor

Woke up with a low level migraine today. So I put in a call to my primary care doc and I had a 3:30 appointment. Thank goodness for my dad who is retired and can watch the kids while Jeff takes me to the appointment!!!

I requested my doc to run a hormonal panel to see where my hormone levels are at. She refused telling me that I'm either in menopause or not in menopause. I'm just trying to find out why I'm having the migraines to begin with. I'm thinking it's hormonal but how the heck am I supposed to tell without some help from her????

The next time I have a migraine I'm thinking of contacting my obgyn to see what she thinks.

Gotta go to rest my head

Migraine Day 4

I'm miserable...really miserable. I have had a migraine for the better part of 4 days now which started Friday. It's cyclical. I was hoping that it was just a fluke.

I don't know how many more days of this I can take. My migraine med works but it knocks me out so I can't take it during the day until Jeff comes home after work.

I'm trying to search for answers online but my head hurts so much that it is difficult to read the screen.

I'll be in lurk mode until this goes away...I'm hurting too much
