Feeling awful at the moment

Hello, I’m feeling awful at the moment. A combination of the viruses going around and migraines.

As for the viruses, I haven’t felt well since the start of December. I keep getting one after the other.

I get migraines anyway, but they’ve ramped up in the last year. I’m 44/45 so tied to hormones. They are excruciating and I get aura after aura and vomit.

Today I woke up with a migraine, vomiting. Barely any sleep. It means another day off work, my third in a year. prior to this my sickness was excellent. Now I feel I’m letting work down.

Im tempted to bite the bullet and force myself in today, but I feel so unwell. I’m a teacher so it means the children go without their normal routine, but at the same time I have no energy for it.

I just want to feel well again. Been to GP. Apparently viruses are going around and it takes time to find the right medicine for migraines - especially if they are hormonal.

Currently prescribed Propanalol, sumatriptan and Fruvotriptan.

Anyone else been through a phase where they’ve struggled like this?

Yeah, I've had one virus after another since late November. Just so conjested and fatigued. I am trying to work through it. I had some time off before Xmas but it's a busy period now. I'm taking lots of over the counter medicine but I'm completely done with it. I just want to be well again

Try Botox for the migraines, a family member of mine suffers with them now has 60 Botox injections every 3 months and they've gone!
