Migraines are vile. Are you on preventative meds? It could be time to revisit your neuro if things have changed.
Yay for feeling human!

Well, yah Llab has levelled up in the migraine game. Forced ED visit was a first.
Feeling human at this point, highly underrated.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to people who made drugs.

Much, much better now. Never say never, but praying this is my first and last (visit).

Really glad to hear youâre much better. I canât begin to imagine a migraine thatâs bad enough to need to go to the ER - sheer torture. Also hoping it never happens again.
Out of curiosity, how long did you have to wait to be seen?

I was actually lucky. I think it wasnât too busy at the ED, so triage was quick (one NS was on and another came on not long after. One person was being seen and one was in front of me.)
Maybe lucky if that took all of 10-15mins. I got in quite quickly, IV + anti-emetic first. Moved 3 times (chair + 2 beds). Dozed a lot. First bed was where I got Panadol (didnât touch the edges) and finally whatever it was they gave me. After 30 mins it still didnât clear, I moved beds again, but I managed to doze it off maybe after another 90min+ and didnât need the next line. Maybe 5ish hours all up? It did take a couple of hours to see a Dr., but everything else was very smooth.
It was just the fact that it was so debilitating? Like at the worst, I could sleep it off for a few hours, or overnight, but this was not budging at all. I maxed out my OTC stuff and wasnât sleeping through. Utterly nauseous, super light sensitive. Felt like living hell like a hangover on steroids. Given this was not alcohol related, definitely made me think how I ever survived hangovers in the first place. I mean I jest now, but there was no way I would have ever gone to ED if I didnât feel it was this bad.
(Iâll admit I was slightly embarrassed. I hated the thought of taking up a bed from someone else who might have needed it more, so as soon as I was good to go, I was out of there. So grateful to all the HC staff. No one made me feel as though I was wasting the time and just said come back if itâs an issue again.)
