I have had migraines for the past almost 30 years. When I first began having migraines in my early 20s, the pain was always in one small spot, just behind my left eye, and extremely intense. The pain and subsequent nausea, vomiting, and debilitation sometimes caused me to lose my senses; I couldn’t speak coherently, crawl much less walk and had to be hospitalized for days several times. Nothing helped until Imetrix came along, and it was like a miracle. Then, after several years, the Imetrix started giving me re-bound headaches and the doctor told me to stop taking if for a year. When I began taking it again, it didn’t always work, and the side effects have changed. At first I would have throat and chest pain when I took it and now for the last few years, I have no chest pain, but pain in my legs and feet and my throat is sore for a few days afterward. Also, I gradually began sometimes having them behind my right eye. Now, which ever side it is on, the pain is more diffuse, and goes into my ear and throat on that side. Although the pain is still very severe, with nausea and vomiting, it is not as excruciatingly intense as it was in the beginning. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Does anyone know what it means? Any response will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
