Anybody around I can talk to? DH just taken to hospital by a neighbour and I'm at home with the baby and panicking.

DH started with what we thought was a migraine last night, not uncommon for him. Today it's still there but he went to work anyway. From about 3pm he started to vomit (again not unusual when he has a migraine but he usually only vomits once).

He has been sick 11 times. A colleague drove him home, I phoned the on call doctor an hour ago who said he needed to go straight to hospital as he couldn't talk on the phone. He was lying on the floor groaning and crying by this point. He's clammy and says he's freezing cold.

Obviously our car is at his work 12 miles away so I knocked on every neighbours door until I found one in and they've taken him to hospital.

I'm at home as we have a 6 month old who's in bed and I didn't want to waste time waking her and packing stuff in a bag for her.

I'm terrified. DH is a calm, reasonable man usually but couldn't string a sentence together and was just clutching his head and rolling on the floor.

Somebody talk to me.

Do I phone the hospital in a minute and see what is happening?

Glad to hear that your mum is on her way and that things are sounding better with your DH - i think it is right that they would have called you if worried.
Keep drinking lots of water and eat eat eat - even if you don't want to because M will have no such worries!!!
Good point from littlelapin - there are women around the country, nay, around the world who are thnking of him!!!

Oh SOH - how scary - only just seen this.

Hope you are on your way and that he is on the mend.

Migraines can be so awful. My sister gets them bad sometimes and had to threaten to walk under a bus to be taken seriously once.

LilRedWG · 13/11/2007 08:50

I've only just seen this SOH, but am thinking of you and DH and sending many get well vibes!
