I may be going to the ER for a migraine...help!

[z's playa]

Usually I go to my migraine forum for support but I thought I'd ask your input.

Many may already know that I have a note from my PCP that states i may need narcotics as last line of treatment. I follow up every 3 months and have never missed an appointment. I take Imitrex, Naprosyn and Motrin and whatever else I can use. I take 80 mg of Propranolol a day. I've been to the ER 4 times last year and I 'm still nervous when I feel I may need to go back. Should I chill out or what? I consider myself the ideal migarineur but what do you all think? Do I deserve the eye rolling I get from the nurses?

Thank you :kiss

Ps: I feel like this one may get out of control but i only go after 72 hours.

I don't go earlier because it may go away due to drugs already taken. My BP is 189/90 right now. PAIN!!

I know this is not the place to get medical advice but all I want is support seeing as I may not get it IN the actual hospital.

I started to feel really sick early in the morning and when I sat down to write my last exam..I threw up all over my paper. Well I got pulled out and sent to the ER. I was treated with 150 mg demerol, 30 Torodol and 10 maxeran with a bolus of NS.

I had an upset stomach and my pressure was through the roof. No eyerolling at anyime! I had a bout of food poisoning to boot!

I was treated well. Now I'll get some sleep. I may have to go in to write an exam tomorrow.

Thanks for being so understanding and supportive. It got me through it.

you've pobably tried this but when i was younger and used to get migraines often i started laying in a cold bath with my neck and backside of my head floating in water (take a cool shower first so you don't shock your body) anyway turn out the lights and kick you feet outside the tub if your too tall to fit. close your eyes with a cold wet compress on your forehead. For me this used to work wonders. If you can at least get the pain to a functional level then that is something! good luck and sorry you are plagued by this debilitating syndrome.
