Q: Blooclot due to bed rest

Hi<

I am in real dilemma....I was just diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis due to my frequent bed rest because of my daily migraine and most likely all my steroids infusions and maybe too my nuvaring....I am now in danger of embolism and on Lovenox shots and Coumadin which has side effects with almost every drugs!!! And causes headaches...This is a nightmare....Has anyone ever been in this predicament? I take Topomax daily and Triptans as needed...now not sure if I can anymore. They told me not to touch Ibuprofen, CoQ10...etc....I am terrified.  I am to see my neurologist later today but I am also on bedrest with leg propped.....and ice on my head because it hurts so much .

thank you.

Hi anna,

 

I'm sorry I didn't get to your question, I was at a scientific headache conference last week.

 

I haven't heard of this, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. What did your doctor say? Would you let us know?
