to worry about DH?

I'm committing the MN cardinal sin of posting in AIBU for traffic.

DH suffers from migraines and seemed to go down with one last Thursday, a really bad one. It hasn't followed the normal pattern and he has remained at a high level of pain since Friday. He cannot tolerate moving, talking, any light. I phoned NHS Direct at 3am on Monday when he was incoherent with pain and they told me about NICE fever guidelines (he hasn't got a fever) and we saw the emergency GP later that day who prescribed Tramadol which just made him itch.

Nothing has worked. The tramadol, aspirin, codeine, ibuprofen, migril, paracetamol (not all at the same time, tried different things according to advice). Not even taken off the edge.

Today he's started vomiting violently.

We have another appointment at 11am.

What is it? This is not a migraine. It's just not fitting his lifelong pattern. 20 years together and he's actually called in sick for the very first time.

I'm very sorry to hear this, Showy (am a NCer, know you way back of old). How horrible for you both, and the dc. I hope they find out what's going on soonest and start him on the road to recovery. x

Sorry to hear this, sending love 💕

My DH had a massive stroke last year and has made an absolute recovery, I'll be thinking of you and wishing the quickest of care and recovery for your DH. Take all the help you're offered with your DC and anything else you need, I learned that very quickly.

I've followed since this morning but had nothing to add, adding my best wishes now SOH Flowers

MrsGrindah · 10/10/2018 22:28

Thank god they’ve spotted it. Stay strong . They will do the very best they can to help him.

So sorry x
Hope you get all the care and I do you need, and that this gets resolved quickly

MustShowDH · 10/10/2018 22:30

So sorry OP.

Thank goodness you're in hospital and they now know what it is so he can get the help he needs.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 10/10/2018 22:36

Oh show, read this earlier, and having been in a similar position with DH five years ago, was hoping for better news for you both. Hoping everything is ok for you both very soon and he’s getting the care he needs. Flowers

GrandmaSharksDentures · 10/10/2018 22:39

Well done for getting him to the right place. Not unusual for a scan to be inconclusive but then a LP to show the bleed.
