I finally found a Migraine support place!! I have read through a lot of the posts here, it's unreal to actually see how many people suffer with the same pain, that I suffer through on a daily bases. I never had a migraine until I had my first son 6 years ago. They started getting real bad about 2 days after I had him. I had no idea what was going on with me, it was very scarey. I had this brand new beautiful baby, that I was having a hard time even getting up to change. Thank god my husband was understanding and patient. I went to a Dr. and he put me on a ton of meds after coming to the conclusion that the headaches where migraines. Classic signs,vomiting, sensitve to light, loud noises, left sided pain, tigling in my arms, the list goes on. I did end up having to quit my job they get so bad. I am a nurse, and calling out sick 3 or 4 days a week, plus being admitted right off the floor while your working doesn't fly with your employer for long. After years of trial and error with the meds I have found that Imeterx, and vicoden, and a Phenergen supp. seem to work the best with me. I have been through all different kinds of meds, the beta blockers, the anti deppresents, the pain meds, and most of the prescription migraine specific drugs. All I can say to that people is, be very careful of what the docs put you on, know all the side effects, and have a loved one keep an eye on you for strange, out of character behavior. I almost ruined my marriage by cheating on my husband, thoughts of suicide, totally manic behavior!! I'm not preaching to anyone, please don't think I am, just be so careful. The latest in my on going battle with the headaches, and a cure, is a hystorectomy in January. My doctors think that were they seem to be hormonal it will help with them, along with the other stuff too. Let me know if any of you out there have had simular experiences.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get some relief from the hysterectomy. I had one almost 4 years ago to remove a monster cyst and hoped that once my hormone levels were constant the headaches would decrease. Unfortunately it didn't help a bit. At least it didn't make them worse!

This is interesting; my migraines started shortly after I had a miscarriage, continued through a pregnancy and carried on for about 6 years till I had the hysterectomy. They stopped completely for about four years, then gradually started coming back till for the last 7 years they've been more and more frequent, often daily. So I don't know what's the answer here. I know for me stress plays a part, and bringing up a child is always stressful, as are the migraines themselves. Tell us how you get on after your surgery; I hope it helps.

I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago and my migraines got much worse I hope you have different results Tami
