I have been living with Migrainmes for 10 + yrs! - I now have small daily headaches and never know when they will turn into a Migraine by the afternoon. I woke up yesterday am with one of these "small" headaches, went to the Gym and 30 minutres later had an ice pick in my left eye. - I came home and slept for 3 hrs. I take Zomig Nasal Spray which normally helps but I had to take 2 yeasterday with Norco. I'm really tired of these - Can anybody help?
P.S> - I have 2 kids and need to function as best as I can.....
Thanks,
M
Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!
There is recent information stressing the importance of reducing the number of Migraines we have. Recurrent Migraine attacks and/or people with a long history of Migraines seem to be at an increased risk for brain damamge - silent brain damage - with no noticable symptoms. Yes, Migraines Can Cause Brain Damage is not meant to alarm people, but help them understand how important a Migraine prevention plan is.
Norco - or hydrocodone- a medication taken more than two to three days a week can create a problem called Medication Overuse Headache, MOH. Medication Overuse Headache - When the Remedy Backfires. If we have MOH a preventive drug will not work.
We have an Ask the Clincian question on Exertion headaches you can find HERE. This may help you with your exercise question.
Ice Pick Headaches - The Basics covers alot of information about a short, stabbing intense type of headache that may be of interest to you.
