Im a bit fed up today. First i have my teeth problem ,then i had another massive Migraine last week after the teeth episode, now today and yesterday i have a roaring sore throat and a little bit sneezy but not much. Its just one thing after another!!!!!!!!!!. Is anyone else like that. It all comes at once!!!!!!. Luckily im off to the doctor later as my every day Migraine medication seems to be stopping working so well. Im just fed up with my heads they make me feel so ill, then i worry as i cannot go into work. OOh i suppose it takes time to work out things like this medically. I did not take my Imigran on time last week and it was horrible so frightening when you cannot stop being sick!!. I have had my moan , im sorry everyone.

You moan away, Rose; that's what friends are for - to listen, not just during good times, but bad ones too. Feeling a bit fed up myself because of my teeth and gums hurting. Good luck when you see your GP later on. xx

Thank you Captain and everyone, feeling bit better though bunged up with cold today. Doctor put me in an appointment to have my blood tests done again in a few weeks all but the Diabetes which i have had as you know. She said she could tell i was worrying about my Migraines being something else. I have to go back to her after results of bloods and if nothing shows up she is going to up my dose of Amitriptyline to 30mg a night and see how that goes. She did say it does happen that medication may stop working after a while. I think my body must swallow it up as it needs it.!!!!. So i will keep you posted. Apart from that im ok today.

Got a shock last night as i had a phone call asking me if i could come up the doctors in the late afternoon as it was something that had come up on one test. It frightened the life out of me as i thought i had something badly wrong. When i went in doc was smiling and saying she did not want to frighten me. It was just one of the tests came out quite high and showed i must have an infection somewhere. As they were to do with trying to maybe find out about my Migraines she thought i might have Temporal Lobe Arteritis and said i would have to go on Steroids. I stopped her short and said i had had a bad cold with sinusy heads this week and she smiled and said ooohh thats probably it then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,. She asked me how my head had been and asked me if i had any sensitivity all the time in my head as apparently you get this with pain aswell. I said no so she said it obviously is not that then. Ahhhhhhh relief. I have to carry on with my 20mg of Amitriptyline for now and go back to see her when i get the next one and maybe i will have to take more then. I had one the week before last i told her but caught it quick by taking my Imigran this time and it went!!!.
Im glad as i would be worried taking Steroids as i do not imagine it is very nice.

Bless you Sam,, im not on Insulin just Amitriptyline for my Migraines. The doc thinks its probably Hormones as im in perimenopause but she wanted to take bloods again just to see if anything else came up. I eat a lot of sugary things really but eat fruit and vegetables too.
Are you Diabetic then???, did you think i was?. I had to have a test for that a while back as my waist and weight is quite high in measurement, but it was ok.

Amitriptyline is an anti-depressant isn't it?
13-11-2013 1:39 PM
It is but its also given to Migraine sufferers too Grumpy. It helps some but not all!!.

My mum was given it when she had Shingles. Seemed strange but it helped her.
