I would just like to comment on the way you responded to a couple of people. You are very well spoken and strong. I wish I could stand up for myself like you do. And of course, I hope you feel better.

@MsCmefly thanks... i've spent years having low self esteem and letting people run all over me. even on the internet. after losing 140lbs, i guess i saw that i was worth something and started taking up for myself and not letting people run all over me and say whatever they wanted to say about me... if they want to think it, fine. but i'll shut them down when they start opening their mouths or fingers about me. you CAN stand up for yourself. EVERYONE is worth something. don't think otherwise. =)

You need to go to a neurologist and get tested =and topomax will make your extremities tingle ( like that falling asleep tingle). You should get an MRI and also get tested for seizures. I was on topomax for 3 months and went to my neuro in tears- my quality of life had deteriorated and the side effects were so awful that I had to get off of topomax. Feel better and stay off the computer- give your eyes a rest too.

@BadFattitude i already go to a neuro. have for 2 years, but mainly for my back. she's the one the rx'd me the topomax. i've had an MRI too. no head stuff.... my brain is fine. i've been on topomax for over a year now and i LOVE it. it's helped me greatly. i had a headache for 6 MONTHS STRAIGHT before that med. it's a lifesaver. dunno why this headache broke through. probably stress. i don't have tingles with topomax or any side effects. the weirdness was from the midrin yesterday.

Hi I am sorry to hear about your migraines. I have them also, I did take midrin it didn't help me. I am back on imitrex pill with nausea meds. My dr did give me topamax but every day for two weeks I woke up with a headache so I stopped them. I don't like having any type of headache. Lorotab gives me an headache after a couple of hours. If you go to the ER have them give you Dilaudid with nausea meds you will be high but the migraine goes away. This is what helps me for the last 2 yrs. Go to ER

@MrsKay33 thank you for the informative post... i'll probably be going to the ER tonight if this sucker doesn't go away. i STILL have it! i don't know if i should call my neuro (who's an hour away) before i go to the ER or not though since she rx's me everything or just go. my husband was against me going to the ER last night, but i've got to do something. and from what i hear, i'll need a driver after i get migraine shots at the ER.

<3 I get horrible headache & migrains too I feel your pain, I really wish they could make better meds, my mom wakes up screamin with bad headaches & nothing eases the pain :( I hope you feel better

I feel for you. I’m very worried.

I got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and severe migraines. Unfortunately, my insurance won’t cover a lot of medications.

I think that you should lay down for a little bit, and see if you feel better. If not, maybe you should go to the hospital or an urgent care center.

Hang in there. Sending my love. <3
