this includes having trouble urinating. I can't figure this out. Well it got very serious last Tuesday. During bad migraines I put on a Scopalomine patch for nausea and dizziness, and last Tuesday, again I had this strange stiffness when I walk around.
I was bending down to get a book at my shelf and stood up, felt a moment of dizzyness, and that passed but felt myself sort of rock on my heels, I moved, or tried to move, my right leg back to balance myself, and my muscles were completely locked! All I could do was brace cause I was going to fall backwards like a tree. I crashed backwards and onto my right side and splintered my 2 drawer nightstand. I don't even remember striking my head or face but I did, hard.
My roomate came running in and told me my rightside of my head was as swollen as a mountain! My right eye looks like a whales eye, all blue and black and swollen, but really I am fine, missed breaking my nose, no concussion, etc. The scary thing is, I don't understand what happened, my muscles absolutely locked up like they were incased in concrete and falling and crashing were inevitable. I have been experiencing this muscle stiffness for awhile now and have not mentioned it to my doctor because it was so difficult to describe and besides it went away with the migraine. I have researched the scopalomine patch for this kind of possible side effect and have found nothing. what can be going on?
I have a rain storm headed my way this monday and tuesday, and of course that always un-nerves me, because it will hit, the migraine, no doubt, and I won't wear the patch, so there will be that added dizziness, and I have many things to do and I am terrified, also because I still look like I have been punched out by a boxer. Has anyone heard of this kind of thing happening with scopalomine and migraine? Or just with a bad migraine alone?

thanks for your concern, actually I do see my doctor on Tuesday. I also just found out that the drug Zocor has been presenting people with problems lately, one of those being muscle related. So I am not taking either of these meds until I know what is happening here. I always feel dread prior to an attack, even after all these years, but that is probably because of how much worse they have gotten as I have gone deeper into menopause. I am seeing a new neuorologist april 8th at my new hospital and perhaps I will have the same good relationship I had with my last one (who has since died) which lasted for 20 years. Thanks for being there! Let you know what happened when I know!
Best wishes
