I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was 11; prior to that, I used to get tonsilitis and strep throat frequently. And my sinuses, while on rare occasion they hurt, for the most part I don't have issues with them. I recently had an allergy test (for environmental and food allergens) but mine came back with everything being negative. The GI issues, I am pretty sure, just stem from when I had a pulmonary embolism about 10 years ago (they never determined the cause of the PE). I was on coumadin for over 6 months, and then they switched me to a baby aspirin a day. After six months of the baby aspirins, my esophagus was a mess. Now I have to get endoscopies every 2 years because of it. I do know migraines run in my family. My mom, grandmother, and both my brothers have them. I just have them way more frequently than any of them do. Imitrex has triptan in it, so it's one of the meds I, unfortunately, am unable to take, since I'm allergic to that ingredient. (Basically, my body hates me, haha). But I'm glad that it helps you, for when you get migraines. I used to take Midrin, but it's no longer manufactured. And then I was taking Fioricet...until my insurance decided to stop paying for it. Hence the reason they gave me Ubrelvy recently. But...I've had to take it 3 times...and it didn't help really, for any of those migraines. I have a follow-up with the neurologist next month, so fingers crossed, there's something else for me to try. |
