Q: Worsening migraines
asked by: katie0401 on July 1st, 2005

I have been suffering from migraines for a while now. Recently they have become worst and I am getting them more often.It used to be I would only get them once a month and now im getting them 2-3 times a week. I am only 17 years old. I have been to the doctor and I am currently taking maxalt. It seems to help when the heaches are not so bad. But when I get bad ones it doesnt really do much. When I get a migraine it is disabling. I cant do anything. I always feel like I am going to throw up but I never do.I dont know what to do. Could there be something else wrong with me? Help!!!

Hi,
my name is pam, but call me metallee. Im 18 years old.
I know what you mean when you have these migraines all the time. My sister mary who is 22 has them all the time, she takes like 8 to 10 pain relievers a day. She gets so sick she throws up too. Lights, sounds everything makes it worse. She has not gotten help for it. But her eye doctor said that her eyes may be causing the problem, her eyesight is not good, but she has this eye problem that she didn't know about that causes these pains in the head.... I don't know if you have the same thing, u should check it out..

Also some things I have read say tumors in brain causes that pain,,, but unless you have vision problems I don't think you should worry about that....

Um, lets see,,, u can be senstive to light ,and sound,, and when it gets too much you get pain,,,,,,,

there are so many things this can be, im surprised your doctor has not wanted to do blood tests, and mri s and cat scans,,, probley cause your so young. When I was 17 they wouldn't let me take anti depressant pills till I hit 18 years old,, now I can take them, im on them.

Do you take meds? Maybe some meds your taking causing these pains in the head,,,, or maybe an infection....

The best thing to do is talk to your doctor about it,,, and have your mom come with you, and see if u can have some tests run.......

And you can go online and research this.........
Go on yahoo, and click in migraines,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, or headaches,, and it will have sites with alot of info for you and you can discuss them with your doctor........................

When I was having gallbladder attacks, I researched it online, and found out my pains was my gallbladder, but I made sure I talked to my doctor about it, and ruled it out. Thats excally what my pain was...........

Well I hope I have helped.................................... ............
Feel free to ask me questions or talk or chat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, anytime....
