FAB's latest health saga

[FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010]

Banged my head twice in November. Went to A&E, diagnosed concussion and whiplash. A few days later banged it again but didn't see anyone.

A week ago I started having problems. Pressure pain in head, pain spread to neck and shoulders and I couldn't get up. Took me an hour to get out of bed.

Next night leg was shaking involuntary and I couldn't stop it.

Next night I climbed into the shower and couldn't get the other one in.

Monday night I had the most horrendous sudden pain in my head and then felt very sick and cold. Felt the same the next morning. Already at the hospital so went to A&E. Saw OOH GP, said I needed to see my GP.

Just seen him. Said it sounds migrainous and has given me tablets to take at bedtime, can't drive and will refer me to a neurologist.

I think I might cry.

Sorry Fab . DP used to suffer with them and cluster headaches too they are horrendous.

Does it sound like it was a migraine?

Sorry about your DH.

He had shaky legs but did get shaky arms/hands ,sensitive to light and unable to get out of bed it made him feel very sick aswell.
He did describe the pain as crushing pressure.
I can't remember what meds it was on as it was when we were first togetehr but touch wood they have buggered off now.

Oh crap. Maybe the GP was right then. I don't have a problem to light though.

He used to have to go and lay i a dark room.

in a

Does he still suffer with them and what was/is the trigger?

I think that everyone has different experiences, my dh has them very occasionally. No aversion to light, but some smells make him puke.
Good luck

I just don't understand how they can be migraines tbh, not from what I know about them anyway. The GP said the pains in my neck and shoulder were stress.

Have you seen an osteopath? Maybe banging your head did something to your neck and shoulders, which in turn is giving you the headaches.

I don't have migraines but have heard they can be very random - you don't have to have all the symptoms.

I am waiting to see a chiropractor - I have had other problems from before I banged my head.
