Sharp Pains During Migrains Posted: 08-28-06 22:17pm
I'm only 17 and since I started purberty
at 11 I have had head aches at least once
a week and a migrane 2 or 3 times a month.
When I get them I get dizzy, I throw up,
I can't even walk or open my eyes.
Sometimes I even get a sharp pain from the
front of my head down my shoulder. I've
had ct scans but they came out normal. I
miss alot of school because of them. I'll
get to school and one will hit and i'll
have to go home beacuse I can't
concentrate. Some times they last days at
a time. What could be causing these
migrains to be so bad and frequent. The
doctors haven't found anything. All they
tell me is take double the dose of pain
killers.. Which don't work half the time

I get frequent migraines as well. And
some of my triggers are lack of sleep and
hormones. You might want to track when
you get your migraines, perhaps yours are
hormonal as well. And you might want to
ask your doctor about getting an abortive
drug that gets rid of migraines rather
than a pain killer that only masks the
pain, and does not help with the other
symptoms.... And can cause rebound
headaches. Plus if they become frequent
there are other drugs to consider,
preventatives, to decrease the frequency
of the migraines themselves. Migraine
treatment can be a bit tricky at the
beggining. Expecially when they are
developing. It will help a lot if you
can narrow down some of your triggers by
keeping a headache journal.
