Migraine headaches
Hi Jinga,
Yes I deal with migraine headaches all the time. Some are so severe I loose my vision and throw up. Some can last for a few days. I have had migraine headaches since my first concussion back when I was 18 or 19. They have become a part of my life that I have to manage. I tried all kinds of different meds for these but had serious side effects. What works best for me is Lortab and Phenergan. The Lortab is for pain and the Phenergan is for nausea. Now that I have chronic pain and need pain coverage all the time I am on MS Contin. It is a long acting morphine that works for 12 hours at a time. It is also easy on the liver because it has no Tylenol. I have found since being on the full coverage med that I have less migraines. Be careful about taking too much Tylenol. I used to take extra strength excederin and Lortab. Don't do this. I ended up with liver failure from this. sorry you are suffering this horrible condition. Find a good pain specialist.
