Ick is right, but the spinal wasn't as bad as the blood patch. They had given me something to relax for the spinal, but nothing for the blood patch. That was just awful, or at least for me since I think needles are creepy.<br /><br />Hope you can take something good and get a little relief.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649912.post-37260256910295999772006-10-24T19:07:00.000-05:002006-10-24T19:07:00.000-05:00Jennie, good suggestion, but definitely not the ca...Jennie, good suggestion, but definitely not the case for me. First of all, I'm completely, 100% opposed to needles in my spinal column (no spinals or epidurals for me if I have anything to say about it... ICK). Also I wasn't given the option.. it was general anesthesia or general anesthesia, which was fine with me.<br /><br />But these are normal migraines. It's just slightly more than usual (say, 6 a week instead of 4-5 a week). <br /><br />Le Sigh.Ms. Perkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923832430040384294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649912.post-14652889746434004802006-10-24T15:22:00.000-05:002006-10-24T15:22:00.000-05:00Karen, did you have a spinal at the hospital when ...Karen, did you have a spinal at the hospital when you had the miscarriage?<br /><br />After I had my miscarriage/D&E I had a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE headache for 3 days straight. I thought it was just from crying and all that was going on. Since I don't get headaches very often, I finally called the RE's office and they told me to go back to the emergency room for a blood patch. The headaches were from the spinal and something not clotting. After I had the blood patch they headaches went away pretty quick. <br /><br />That may not be your problem anyway since you get migraines on a normal basis, but it's just a thought. Hope they get better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649912.post-38242889415364099462006-10-24T10:27:00.000-05:002006-10-24T10:27:00.000-05:00Erin, thanks for the sympathies.

I mostly can handle them; I've had them since I was two and I get 4-5 per week if I'm unmedicated (I can get down to 4-5 per month if I'm on Depakote). I definitely have no correlation with ovulating or not (since absent medical intervention I simply <i>don't</i> ovulate). I wouldn't wish migraines on virtually anyone.Ms. Perkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923832430040384294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649912.post-86338956012383776132006-10-24T08:52:00.000-05:002006-10-24T08:52:00.000-05:00Oh, I'm so sorry.

I only get them a couple of times a month but they're usually post-ovulatory and then I can't do anything about them either. It's miserable.<br /><br />I hope that they stop very, very soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
