Q: Does anyone have these symptoms with migraines?
slurred speech, weakness and achiness in legs. I’ve had migraines for years and what bothers me most is the clumsiness and inability to talk. Once the migraine is gone everything else is back to normal. Also it’s embarrassing because people don’t understand. Anyone else have this experience?

A: Hi. I had horrible migraines for 20 years. Had to go to bed every time i got one they were so awful. Never had any of those symptoms, nor did my mom, who got bad migraines her whole life. Maybe you need to check with your doctor. You might need tests to make sure those symptoms are from your headaches, and not something else. Better to be safe then sorry. Good Luck. Feel better soon ;-)

Q: What are you triggers, symptoms and treatment for migraines?
Example my triggers are certain foods, my symptons are that i see spots and then i don’t know what i want to do to treat them

A: In the sources section below, I have listed a webpage which outlines all the common triggers for migraines/headaches.

To treat migraines, don’t try to guess, don’t listen too much to friends or colleagues, but go to your doctor. Most migraines are treatable, but a medication or technique that works for one person, does not necessarily work for another.

You have to get a thorough checkup and then, if your problem is found to be a migraine (and not something else), then your doctor will prescribe a medicine to stop each migraine and perhaps also some preventative medication (that stops you getting migraines so easily or regularly).

If the initial medications don’t work or only partly work, go back to the doctor and get the treatment modified.

Good luck!

Q: What disease has these symptoms? Hypoglycemia, migraines, aching muscles, and Raynaud’s Syndrome?
I used to have seizures with the hypoglycemia, but no more. I had my gall bladder out and thankfully, that symptom went away except for the week before the monthly period. I also have extreme sinus problems when it is time to start my period as well.
Sometimes ana is high and sometimes none at all. C3, C4 compliments show sometimes and sometimes normal. Also, bladder is affected with high levels of protein and blood. Other times fine.
I have seen a rhematologist. He will not say which autoimmune disorder I have. He will not even listen to the research I have done that says Lupus and another that I cannot spell.
I had a colonoscopy. No celiac disease. Just said it was irritable bowel syndrome.

A: I am not a doctor; I am only a pharmacy student. I think the Raynaud’s Syndrome and the high ANA suggest it is probably an autoimmune disorder of some sort. So do the list of other sort of “nonspecific” symptoms. Maybe something like lupus, or perhaps a different one. I hate to name a specific disease, because there are many different autoimmune disorders & it could be anything. Of course, I could be wrong & it may not be autoimmune. I think maybe you should see a rheumatologist, however.

Q: Are these Migraines symptoms?
If i get blurry vision than a huge headache for an hour or two then throw up, can it be migraines. Also when i am in loud areas and my head hurts, could those me migraines?? Do you think i have migraines, if so what should i tell my doctor?

A: Yes, what you describe does sound like a migraine headache. Tell your doctor exactly what you’ve written down here. He’ll possibly prescribe you something for the pain. Good luck. Migraines can be miserable.

Q: What symptoms do you have with your migraines?
I start feeling hot, light headed, and I get a throbbing pain on one side of my head, usually above my right or left eye.

A: First I start feeling nauseous, then I get that “aura” – the flashing light in my peripheral vision. Then the blinding pain starts.

I feel sorry for everyone who gets migraines. They are not fun.

When I was a kid, I used to think a migraine was just a really bad headache. But it’s so much more.

Q: Do anybody have migraines with symptoms first?
Do any one have migrianes with sympyoms at first than the headaches????I know I ask a question before but….Could someone let me know what’s up,please.

A: Yes my symptoms are tingling in hands vision disturbance numbing hands and/or tongue and nausea sometimes vomiting

Q: Anyone get migraines with the aura first, along with other symptoms?
I absolutely hate getting these. The headache is bad but nothing like the aura in my opinion. I can handle and somewhat subdue the pain but not being able to see scares me to death. I get so may odd symptoms weeks before I get one of these headaches suck as achy all over my body, increased anxiety, dizzy, irritable, trouble, sleeping, racing thoughts, and fatigue to name a few. Does anyone else experience this?
I have been to several Dr’s that’s how I found out what it was. I am just looking for similar experiences and methods of dealing with this from people with the same thing.

A: YES! I have had this all of my life and it is a pain in the you know what. I was letting my life be controlled by this, I was missing school, not going out with my friends and sometimes not even eating. I recommend going to your doctor. I am on this medication called Midrin and it has made a huge difference. If you don’t have health insurance and can’t go to your doctor, try taking a pain killer right before you know the migraine is coming. Best of luck and God bless!

Q: I used to get migraines ALOT and of course I would have the symptoms that would come before the migraine…?
but now I am just having the symptoms without migraines following is it possible they are due to something else? Like is it possible they might be telling me something else is wrong? I am experiencing a blinding sensation in one or both eyes, but I can still see…it’s almost like my eyes are wrapped in alumnium foil. It’s kind of strange so I don’t know how to explain it. I’ve also experienced some some pain in my eyes and slight pain in my head but right along with the symptoms not after them as what used to happen and it’s not anything close to a migraine feeling. Can anyone help me out with this I don’t want my doc to think I’m crazy when I try to explain this to him.

A: Sounds about right. Same thing has been happening to me this year. Just be glad it’s not a full migrain. Migrains are mental and your brain is finding ways to counteract the migrain before it develops. You may also be finding ways to react to it differently.
Here are some things I do.
1. Take 2 motrin as soon as I see it with my eyes (sometimes I can feel it come on before my eyes go wacky).
2. Relax
3. Walk around to get blood flowing if you’ve been sitting
4. Use the restroom, eat something soft like a burito, massage sore muscles, or anything else I can tell that may be causing internal stress
5. Rest your eyes
6. Get a damp washcloth put on your eyes / forehead
7. Lay down in bed
8. If migraine still coming on, I take another 2 motrin at about 1/2 hr after step 1. Then I go back to bed and its a waiting game from there.

Q: Does anyone else have these symptoms with migraines?
I’ve been dealing with what I believe to be a migraine for the past few weeks.Never had one before and the pain and symptoms that went along with it were so intense I thought I was having a brain aneurysm/tumor.Luckily nothing showed up on the test results…I’m going to a neurologist in a few days for further testing.I was just wondering if these are signs of a migraine or possibly something else………..non-stop pulsating/throbbing in head, constant head pain(sometimes stays in one spot but can spread throughout head), EXTREME endless vertigo/spacey feeling(like walking through a fog),lethargy, visual distortions/double vision, sensitivity to light and a little to sound,short-term memory loss(which has been scaring the hell out of me), speech disturbance/slurring,loss of appetite, and just an overall high level of discomfort throughout each day which is inhibiting me to work or drive. Can anyone else relate to these symptoms? Has anything helped you gain relief in any way?

A: When i get migraines i know they are comming b/c i go completely blind in my right eye, its scary and when it comes back i see little fuzzies, and cirlces and just werid thing like when you close your eyes and press on them hard….I also Throw up the entire time i have the headache…Its horrible, Unfortunately i can relate to all your symptoms, Im glad your getting everything tested to make sure its not anything serious.

Q: Migraines, fever, abdominal pains what are these symptoms of?
My friend is sick and i want to help her what are these symptoms of?

A: It depends on alot of things like how long she has been feeling like this, where the pains are in her stomach and all types of diffrent things. The best thing she could do is go to her doctor and seek a physicians advice.

Q: ok anyone that has had migraines please list the symptoms. or stroke. thanks?
having problems now and it either the beginning of migraines or a stroke so please list all the symptoms you had. just comparing them. thanks!

A: My mom and I have migraines.

Symptoms are light and sound sensitivity, pounding head (hurts all over or behind the eyes), nausea, tired, irritable, feels like your head is gonna explode, sore neck/shoulders.

Q: What disease shows symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, migraines, cimculam mash and dizziness?
i do not have any of these symptoms its a project for the P.U.P.P. program

A: hi, i am a 4th year med student, if you have more than one swollen lymph node you must seek medical care immediately. .. one or 2 lypmh nodes can swell up due to simple infections .. your question requires the name of a disease, i do not want to frighten you in any way but if you have more than one swollen node these are symptoms of lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes, treat this as an emergency and go to your doctor as soon as possible.

Q: can you tell me symptoms you had when you or someone you know had a stroke. or migraines?
I just want to hear some of the symptoms to compare. thanks!

A: I suffer from migranes a lot symptoms are really bad headache right above my eyes or side , sensitivity to light and sound, nausea , vomiting, I usually take excedrin migrane to get some relief

Q: migraines with seizure symptoms?
does anyone experience migraines that manifest with short term blackouts, loss of control of hands, rapid eye movement and a mild headache…but without the more common symptoms of light sensitivity, severe headaches? How did you treat it?
Hey, I’m not stupid, have had plenty of medical advice, just seeking others’ experience with simular symptoms…how they handled it and what treatments might have been effective for them.

Q: Symptoms indicate serious problem, or only migraines?
I am now living with a constant headache. In August I started getting headaches daily, usually in the afternoon, and they would subside by evening. Went to dr. and got prescription for Prozac (couldnt go on a tricyclic antidepressant cause it gave me delayed gastric emptying a few years ago). Don’t know why she didn’t give me Imitrex. Anyway, now I wake up with a headache, go about my day with a headache, and fall asleep with a headache. It’s throbbing and usually all over, although sometimes I get a piercing pain in the right side of my head that usually lasts no more than 15 mins. I’ve been sleeping a lot lately, 13+ hrs a day. I also usually don’t have much of an appetite. Could this headache/migraine thing be symptoms of a serious problem, or is it just due to the depression/stress? I am going to the dr. tomorrow but want to know if there’s anything specific I should ask her about.

A: Do you have any other symptoms, like sick on the stomach, sensitivity to light with the headache, visual disturbances? I have lived with migraines for most of my adulthood. The excessive sleeping and loss of appetite are symptoms from the Prozac. Imitrex works well. You should suggest to your doctor to prescribe an MRI of the brain to rule out any other problems. Good luck, I feel for you and know what you are going through.

Note: Serious conditions like a brain tumor, will have severe headaches which should be constant. It is not likely you have a serious issue. If your doctor will not do an MRI to rule out a serious issue, you can best be assured they are positive you do not have a serious issue.
