Back home from Hospital

RB (Andrew) · #1 14-05-2006, 10:04 AM

G'day everyone,

I haven't been logging on the last few days because I've been in hospital.
Thursday arvo I had my worst migraine attack ever and by the evening had to be hospitalised.
I was tested, jabbed, poked, drugged up and knocked out till the pain eased.
The doctors ordered some CT scans and they came back as all clear.

I do not want to go through that again. It's been years since I've had an attack and all of a sudden they reappear.

I've missed a lot of posts so please forgive me if I don't reply, I'm sure there's been some superb work and fantastic posts.

Catchup with you all soon.

Glad to hear you're on the mend Andrew.

We've been keeping the site quiet until you got back. I'm sure the usuals

will come out now that you are back, to keep you busy.

Good to hear all is OK Andrew. My mother used to get migraines and about 10 years ago I started to get occasional migraines myself. I've found two things trigger my headaches, the main one is chocolate, any more than a couple of pieces and the next day I suffer, the other is dehydration.

I'm glad all is well Andrew and your back home now.

But honestly all this wouldn't have happened if you sold me the Takahashi Cheap.....it's called Karma......lol

Welcome back Andrew. It can be frustrating when they run all these tests and still fail to find the cause of symptoms. But no news is still good news when it comes to these things.

Welcome back Andrew

Hi Andrew, glad your ok mate. I can certainly relate, I suffer from them also. They performed a CT scan on me a few months ago, all clear. Yes, the word chocolate...I read on the net this can cause migraines...I gave up eating it of my own accord & I rarely get them now. Once every 5 or 6 weeks I seem to get them now,(rather than every 2 weeks like I used to) But not as severe.

Stay well mate.

thinking of you, Mother in laws can be like that coming up to mothers days ;-)

hope you get well soon, new moon in less than two weeks!

Welcome back Andrew,

Some say drink plenty water, no caffiene, no chocolate etc, the worst thing with this hobby is lack of sleep. Good thing every night is not clear.

Suppose you have got to find what works for you and what triggers off the migraine.

RB,

Sorry to hear about the migraines but glad all is okay...

Rodstar (Rod) · #11 14-05-2006, 02:04 PM

I'd have a migraine with 8 children, too....

Seriously, sorry to hear about the headaches. I get them occasionally. Boy they can knock you out, eh?! Glad you are feeling better. Hope it didn't create too many problems with managing the chooks.

Reckon.

Glad you are back and hope they find the trigger and they go away permanently (migraines, not the kids).

RB (Andrew) · #13 14-05-2006, 06:13 PM

Thanks heaps guys,

I'm still a bit groggy but feeling better.

Phil & Asi thanks, I'm not a big chockie eater but something just as bad I drink heaps of coffee....

Thanks Steve, Geoff and Scott glad to be back.

Cheers Houghy, new moon Dave in 2 weeks and when are you gonna come up to Kulnura???? Can't frame my shots without you mate.....

Thanks Lester I'll keep an eye on the triggers, I thought I sorted everything out 4 years ago..

Rod and Chris

it's not my eight kids that's the problem it's the ninth one that keeps crying in the corner for my TAK, that's driving me nuts....

Bad Karma indeed Mr Striker, fancy selling out on the mighty 20Da....

Thanks John, yes I'm used to the kids, it's like having white background noise all the time, you adjust and tune out....

Hey Andrew, good to hear that all is clear on the test results

A friend of mine had a similar thing one morning like a massive migrane were she couldnt move her head or hardly walk.
I took her to the hospital and all clear.
They said it must have been a virus. It lasted most of the day aprox six hours then slowly went away and she never had it again.
