No, but it sounds confusing...does your blood pressure go up when you have them?

Yea bullseye Ive had them bad ever since my first deployment. Put me on topamax for it. They say its for seizures but that migraines and seizures are somehow linked. Meds change my tastebuds like everything is a very powerfull sharp taste almost a stinging taste but it works.

yea it goes up,the meds i take for them is a blood vessel dilater,to expand the blood vessels in your brain and hopefully reduce the pain

it is my brother

yea i used to take Topomax,it helped me not to get as many as i did,but i had to quit taking it.I take Zomig nasal spray for mine,but i cant take but 2 in a 24 hour period or it could cause a blood vessel to expand to much and bust in my brain,so if if the zomig doesnt work i always havet to go to the ER for a shot of Morphine

How bad is it taking NSAIDs while on cycle? I have a script for oxycodone for a crushed vert and 2 slipped discs in my back and I usually only take them 2-3 times a wk after a intense workout as well as xanax almost daily and paxil. I keep hearing they can inhibit your gains on cycle thats why im so cautious to take them only when i absolutely need them

control your arteries by nuclear magnetic resonance imagery. or even a simple scanner.

make you sure you've no stenosis.

not a joke my friend!

 

[GoinPlatinum]

I wonder if there's a link between hormonal imbalances & migraines in men... My head feels like it's going to blow off my head right about now

yes any opiates will lower your test levels,not like you take them,but like heavy doses everyday,and i take valium and it doesnt effect my test levels,but hurts my libido,just like opiates do,i dont take NSAIDs on cycle,they dont work at all,my body has built up such a tolerance to pain meds because of the many surgeries ive had,only prescription pain killers work,and usually the stronger ones,oxycodone,demerol,dilaudid but thats extreme cases,if my zomig doesnt work,i go and get either a shot of morphine or demerol and it usually knocks my headaches out at the ER...ive also tried 2 BCs and 1 mountain dew and it worked pretty well,it just depends on how bad they are,also i take 15g of L-Arginine/day to help keep my blood vessels dilated

thannks for the tip Kane,I will ask my doctor about this

i really dont know,i know it hast to do with genetics,when you eat,what you eat etc but hormones,i dont know

 

[Kane_Red_Machine]

usualy steroids have nothing having with persisitent headaches. you can believe me. i crossed this step seriously these last time; blood presure have nothing having with this aswell. usualy ther's simply a problem with a blood vessel, and if you react early it could be fixed easily! see your doc and ask for what i posted above. better to know everything about your arteries before to run as a mad dog behind some useless medication.

I get them as well brother, not a good time, feel for you man!

Migraines are hell.

I use to have them daily. And I use to take meds for them; I don't anymore. I find maintaining good hydration (i.e., I drink enough to have at least several clear urinations a day) and 250mg Mangesium once daily put a stop to my migraines.

Also foods and food chemicals can trigger migraines as well. So, some people avoid cheese, oranges, chocolate and red wine and find that their migraines become less a problem. In my own case, I discovered that "red 40" a food dye was a my thorn in the side. But, since I turned to cleaning eating, I hardly ever come across red 40 in my food. I am not a fan of sports drinks, but I have noticed that red 40 is in a number of them.

Hope you find relief...

Something I learned while deployed once, I get bad Migraines. I noticed that the Migraine will then make my Neck tighten up and that just makes it worse. So I put mineral ice (menthol) on my forehead and my Neck. My god it works wonders. Better than pain killers and faster for me.

Bullseye,
I will usually get them during that "happy" time of the month. For me- it's always been linked with the hormonal change.
I don't do this often, but when they get really bad, I will take a bc powder and chase it with 4-6 oz of dr. Pepper.
Or 2 excedrin migrane and ice on the neck can help.

If I have to function, tho and be in a good mood about it, bc powder and dr pepper is about the only way to go for me. I'm sure it has something to do with the asprin, caffine, and sugar combo.

My family has a history of em..never had a true MIGRAINE.

Light, sound and movement are really hard I hear.

Mom ussually goes to bed...dark and quiet..24-48 hour s in duration...sound familiar ?
