hi all
my fiance suffers from daily, intense migraines.... imitrex and those types of drugs arent as effective anymore...
Percocet is helpful to him (although he is getting concerned that they could be making his headaches worse, but they do seem to be the only thing to really give him relief, so i dont think he should stop taking them since he can't live in this pain all the time), and sometimes steroids, but of course, those are too intense to take all the time.
About 3 months ago he started getting terrible nausea (without vomiting) almost every day, regardless if he had a bad headache or not.
He is taking a nausea med. normally used for people on chemo, and it rarely helps. His endoscopy and abdominal scan showed nothing. this has us really concerned. Right now we are waiting for insurance to approve an MRI with contrast, but they are fighting his doctor at the migraine clinic cause he already had one (without contrast) 9 months ago.
Has anyone had nausea like this that seemed like it WASNT connected to your migraines?
Any thoughts would be SOOOO appreciated.
One neurologist told him the percocets can make his headaches worse... but his pain management doctor told him that it's ok and he shouldn't worry about that. so when he uses them and gets a worse headache the next day, he blames himself for making himself worse, but as we all know with migraines (i get them too) they can come and go with no triggers at all. it's so confusing... all he wants is some relief.
sorry this is so long!
