Migraines after birth

[Mumagain2017]

Hi

I have been suffering with migraines since the weekend. I have had 5 since Sunday
Do tots have diagnosed high blood pressure and I have been given Bp tablets a d also you g on the pill to regulate my hormones hopefully.

Just wanted to see if there were any fellow sufferers to talk to.

I've had migraines on & off since puberty. After my first was born I had a cluster of occurrences and then it settled down. It was a hormone thing with me at that time.

Hi @jaffakake I hope mine do to

So you not suffer at all now?

Mine's an odd story really. I always had migraines with aura and at uni I had a bad patch but then it settled down to one every 6 months or so in my 20's. After kid one I had a cluster of loads in the first month. Then it disappeared but I got dizzy often. At the time I was treated for labrynthitis. 3.5 years later I had kid two. Nothing different about migraines with aura but I got this dizzy thing again. Loads of investigations later turns out all this time I've been having vestibular migraine ie migraine with vertigo. No pain, no other symptoms but the odd bit of vertigo. So now I'm on amitriptyline as a migraine suppressant and I have zero problems, plus I sleep like I'm dead & hubby sorts the kids in the night. Bingo!

Just see how it goes. The odds are you'll have a few but then you hormones will calm down & you can deal with whatever is left.

Seek some medical advice. I was told ibuprofen was a better thing to take than paracetamol. I always found I just needed to fall asleep. It was like ctrl alt delete for my brain & the migraine would go. But everyone's different. I'm lucky as it has rarely been painful.

Ah right. Interesting. There seem to be lots of different scenarios and friends I've spoken to have has different experiences too.

Iv has one or two every day for 7 days now. It a been debilitating.

I've got beta blockers I havnt heard of the drug your on but I'm back to the doctors today so I'll mention it.
