Bad cold, sinus pain, chills, severe migraine..feeling weak..
I'm so darn tired of having my body fall apart..I was seriously praying for God to take me home..I feel so darn sick..been to the ER three times this week due to the same migraine..my neurologist wanted to give me a medication that didn't work in a higher strength and my lovely PCP told me to do deep breathing..
Not a bit fan of Kaiser at the moment. Feeling too sick to fight...
HOpe you guys are all well. I love my migraine angels

Re: Bad cold, sinus pain, chills, severe migraine..feeling weak..
I sympathize with your feeling, but I hope they can knock out this bugger of a migraine, and you can stay on here with us, in better times, for awhile longer.
I never seem to have a ton of medication or drug advice, but one of hubby's bad episodes, the doc actually gave him oxygen, which can be a cluster headache treatment. It, tordol and phenergrin injections knocked out that series. Maybe you can ask about oxygen. Compared to many of the treatments we ask for it's easy, and has no major side effects. I hope they find something that works for you.

Re: Bad cold, sinus pain, chills, severe migraine..feeling weak..
I just got back from my doc............been a bad migraine week with a higher level of pain than what I usually deal with. This morning woke up with what I was sure was a sinus infection. My doc thinks that this sinus infection has been brewing for awhile and he has always thought that my sinus infections (which I get fairly frequently) make my migraines worse. Do you think that the sinus pain is making your migraine pain worse.
So sorry that Kaiser docs are not paying attention............keeping you in my thoughts as I lay here on the couch crocheting away.........

Re: Bad cold, sinus pain, chills, severe migraine..feeling weak..
any chance of someone putting you on an anti-biotic to at least knock out the sinus infection?
i''m on Z pack for 10 days in a row, plus bactroban+saline mist (sorry, but you shoot this up your nose).
usually this can help. run this by your doc, at least an anti-biotics that can help with sinus stuff.
easy way to check if there's anything that comes out with coughing or just comes out (solid chunks that are yellowish/brown) and when you clean your ears if there's a darky waxy look to it.
good luck!
it's a very cheap illness (sinus infections) to fight, but can be tricky.
good luck!

......I'm going through the thing here, and I definitely think the sinus infections make the migraines worse. I think the inflamed sinuses just add to everything else that is inflamed inside one's head with a migraine. I just finished an antibiotic about 2 weeks ago which seemed to resolve it for a few days, but it's back full force. The cough, though, is what's really aggravating the migraines. Ugh!
Hope you're feeling better, Wendy. Sounds like they need to take more time to take a closer look and treat your sinuses as well as the migraine. It's so difficult not being able to find anything to get a handle on the pain. Hang in there dear, Wendy.

Oh, you too, poor thing??? sorry for missing that yesterday!
And to reply to your question - oh definitely, ditto, yes!!
Sinus infection alone may cause such severe headache that it can be easily mistook for migraine,
let alone worsen our true ones.
I would definitely run and ask for a course of antibiotics!

Re: Bad cold, sinus pain, chills, severe migraine..feeling weak..
Wendy, I so sympathise with you and hope you are starting to feel better. There's nothing worse than being so sick this time of year when it's suppposed to be such a happy time.
I have been sooo ill myself for two weeks. It started off with a bad cold, then I went to a walk in clinic as my doc. was away, my throat hurt so bad to cough. He put me on an antibiotic which made me feel like I was being poisoned, I had a horrid metallic taste and felt sick, I eventually threw them in the garbage, I don't think I needed them anyway. I am having to force myself to eat, I can't even drink tea or coffee which I love, it makes me want to puke. I usually love my food but it makes me shudder just thinking about it now.
Get well soon Wendy, and hope you can have a Merry Christmas.
{{{{{Lots of gentle hugs}}}}}
