Migraines are terrible!! I just keep getting more tired! Thankfully I had no more migraines and hopefully yesterday was the last of the flare. I just want my energy back! How do you guys recover the day after migraines? I had a little energy throughout the day but now I am starting to feel worn down and fuzzy head and just plain out of it. I go out to dinner tomorrow with friends but I have to see how I feel whether to go or not. I feel bad that I keep having to bail on friends because i'm just too tired.

How do you guys feel the day after a migraine? I had a Migraine Monday night at 930pm. Then I had two migraines yesterday and felt sick all day. My Grandma picked me up more vitamin b2 which I use for prevention of migraines and that seems to help. I finally feel almost back to normal. I do though feel really tired and my eyes feel a little fuzzy off and on. I want to draw but my eyes wont focus enough to draw and I have been wearing sunglasses indoors. Does anyone else get that the day after migraines? I am so glad the worst is hopefully over.

Im sorry you had to go through that! It is scary! I don't like taking meds either. I can't take the migraine treatment meds because most of them have caffeine and I hate side effects. I am on vitamin b2 400 mgs for migraine prevention. It has worked since thanksgiving but I have been out since Thursday and I had ham last night that my grandma made and she insisted it did not have sodium nitrate then this morning we looked and there the last ingredient was sodium nitrate which is one of my biggest triggers! So I had soup for dinner today since I wasn't really hungry.

Thanks! sadly I do not have a doctor I am inbetween ones. my pediatrician let me go in august since I am 23 and I have to find a family one that takes my insurance which has been hard. we found one we just have to complete paperwork.

This is my third migraine!!!!!! I had one last night at 930 today at 1030 and it was finally starting to fade when I got another one. I layed down for 10 minutes cant lay down more or wont be able to sleep at night. my hand went numb and face. right now I just feel so so weak an ddisoriented it feels like when I talk it sounds muffled even though it doesn't to others and when other people talk ti sounds muffled. I wanted to go to the ER but my parents and grandparents keep telling me its just migrainesand keep saying they dont think I need to go. They know me better than I do myself. Do migraines differ symptoms each time? I have never had this many in a row or this bad. I don't think its a stroke because I am 23 too young. and I have had testing done when I had these migraines when I first got them. I just feel like being in b ed all day. I hate this. do any of you experience these scary symptoms? The auras are gone but I still feel like my hands and motor skills are still affected and im nauceious. I feel weak, tired not wanting to do anything. I can't even really be on the computer. Its a struggle just to type this. Its a struggle to eat even though I make myself because I know I should. have any of you had migraines this bad with numbing and auras and feeling like your muffled when you talk. I don't know why its lasting this long. I keep thinking its something more serious but my grandma keeps telling me its my migraines and that migraines can come in clusters. This is scary and I just want it to go away. my grandma got me more b2 so I just took 400 mgs so hopefully it will start fading.

Thanks!!!! I thought I was in recovery stage but there I go again and get a migraine at 11 am. Started with the blury vision cant see straight cant do nothing. then comes the hand numbness and face numbness's and the weird thing is everything sounded different. When someone or I talked it sounded weird like muffled and it feels like my motor skills are affected when I have migraines. Now I have the headache part and I am extremely wiped and drained. I can't nap because I won't be able to sleep tonight. I did lay down until the auras went away but I don't want to fall asleep. How do you guys handel your migraines? How do you not get scared when you have them? I get so scared and worry about having a stroke but I keep trying to tell myself I am 23 too young ot have strokes and I have had mris when I first got migraines and I had a echo on my neck arteries to make sure it wasn't a TIA. It scares me so much when I get these. I have never passed out from a migraine but I worry that I am going to one of these times. Any tips on how to handle migraines? I also take Tylenol right as I started getting auras.

I started vitamin B2 400 mgs for migraine prevention on thanksgiving and ever since then I have had no migraines. Then I ran out on Thursday and this week I have been waiting for my b2 and last night I had a terrible migraine. It started around 9:30 pm. It started with blurry vision where I couldn't even read my computer. Then after a while of blurriness and feeling like passing out I get numbness up and down the right side of my face and the back of my throat and right side of tongue and my right hand. Then it moved to my right wrist. That lasted until around 10:30 and I couldn't talk right. Then came the headache on the left side temple and eye. The headache was really bad and I was nauseous. I finally went to bed and this morning I feel better just a slight pressure when I cough or laugh and feel drained and tired. I kept asking my grandma yesterday if the ham she made was real and she said it was and it looked real and tasted good. It also looked real and not packaged like deli meat. But this morning I read the wrapper and the last ingredient was sodium nitrate my biggest trigger!! So sadly I am not having her yummy ham and bean soup tonight for dinner .

Thanks!!!! I feel lots better. I do think it was from my time of the month. It is still frustrating when I feel that way.

I seem to get really irritable different times for no reason. Like right now I am so irritable and snappy and I don't want to be but it seems like I can't help it. I feel on edge, and my insides feel jumpy and I have no idea why. I'm not anxious but feeling irritable like this makes me anxious. I sometimes get like this before a migraine but I have been like this all week. I got my time of the month on Thursday but usually I feel better the second or third day. Does anyone else get like this? I have no idea why I am irritable like this. I just want to relax and get back to normal. That is another reason why I think I may be gluten sensitive but it would be so hard to go gluten free.

I am wondering if I could possibly have Celiac Disease. For the longest time I can remember different foods make me cranky. I can't eat jelly or I get cranky. I avoid sweets like donuts and stuff because it makes me cranky and fake sugars like aspartame and high preservative foods make me cranky same with sodium nitrate. I avoid all sodium nitrate as well because of my migraines. Also I have had this rash since October 2014 and it wont go away. It starts as little red circles and later turns into splotches then gets dry as it fades and new ones appear. Its on my arms and on my one leg. Its not as visible during the day but a lot more spots come out after I get a hot shower or if I am really hot. Has anyone else gotten these symptoms? Is there a test that can tell if I have Celiac? If so what is the test?

I used to have really oily skin with acne and it was embarrassing. surprisingly this past year its been doing well. I do get a little acne around my time of the month but other than that I seem to be doing a lot better. I don't know how or what I did that changed it though.

I don't know what Alpha Blockers are but my beta blocker helps my physical symptoms of anxiety like rapid heart rate, shakiness and panic attacks. For nightmares maybe try alternating your diet before bed. I have noticed if I have chips or greasy or junk food before bed I get nightmares. I have the same snack every night before bed now. which is a chewy peanut bar and a small glass of milk. The only down side about the beta blocker is that my blood pressure runs lower now. It used to be 120s/70s and when I started the atenolol in October 2013 my blood pressure now runs 90s/60s sometimes the lower number in the 50s. and Im more tired now but it has helped the physical symptoms of anxiety and lessened m y palpitations and stuff. I hope you find something that works for you .

Its good to know others experience this as well!! Sometimes I feel like im losing my mind! especially since I don't have a job and never have and I left my boarding school on august 23rd 2013. I have nothing to do everyday since I don't drive and all I do is sit on my computer. I did join a church may 2014 and I love their young adult group and join activiiteis when they have them but during the week I have nothing to do and my cardiologist keeps telling me just sitting around doing nothing will make me feel worse!

I know me 2. My doctors keep saying its anxiety but I tell them that feeling is what causes my anxiety! and what you described is how I feel!

All day I have been feeling weird. I had to wake up at 6:50 am for my vocational training sessions. I woke up at 6:50 showered, ate breakfast. Then I started feeling disoriented almost detached. I felt like that all day. A little better when I was at my vocational training. I was there from 9 am until 3 pm and didn't get home until 4 pm. then I had to clean the kitchen, Then I made dinner and had to do dishes, and fold laundry then I went outside for like 10 minutes and then I came in and finally sat down at 7pm. I just keep feeling weird like detached. its a hard feeling to describe. I hate that I have no energy to do much. I worry that when I finally have a job it will be difficult!

All day today and All day yesterday I have been feeling really fuzzy in the head. my eyes wont focus well, feeling lightheaded and just fuzzy, tired and weak. I have no idea why but I hate it. It is hard writing this post even! I can't think straight speak straight or see straight. Also it seems like when I get excited from something I feel sick. If I feel nervous or excited I get sweaty lightheaded and weak. Like I am excited because the news shared my snow photo and as soon as I saw it I started sweating and feeling miserable just from being happy! I mean come on why cant I just be happy without being sick? does anyone else get like this?

I get crazy auras. Sometimes I start out getting really lightheaded, blurry vision and almost like lightning strikes in the corner of my eyes. I get where I cant even read the computer or type when I try to type i know what i want to type but it comes out all gibberish. Then one of my hands go numb and a side of my face and my tongue goes numb. One time a foot went numb too. Then I start getting the headache and nausea. The headache isn't that bad its the auras that are really scary. One time it affected my hands. I remember i was eating dinner then i got the lightheadedness and numbness in my face and hands. Then i thought my blood sugar was low because it was my first scary experience. Then i went to check my blood sugar and when i tried to put the strip in the meter my hand kept missing it and i was struggling to get it in. Then i was at boarding school at the time and i asked if the staff could bring me juice and she handed it to me and it just fell right out of my hand the one that was numb. My auras don't get as bad now since i avoid sodium nitrate. My speech also gets affected with auras. and i noticed that a day or two before my migraines sometimes I get irritable and anxious. Then after my migraine i get wiped out.

I have noticed this month that I have been getting buzzing in my left ear more frequently. My left ear suddenly feels clogged and I hear a long beep or something. I used to get that once in a blue moon but now for some reason it happened like twice this month and once today and its always in my left ear which is weird.

I live at home and I am not allowed to take naps during the day because I have trouble falling asleep at night. Plus if I nap during the day I feel worse over all which is weird. So I am just going to try to keep it relaxed and easy on Thursday and have an egg sandwich to give me energy.

I have noticed that I feel worse once the sun goes down. I get worse brain fog, feel super tired, and don't want to do anything once it gets dark. Its hard because the young adult group i'm in at church has life group every Thursday night at 6 to 8 pm. it just started and already I've missed the first two meetings. I have no energy once it gets dark and I have so much more trouble thinking. Does anyone else get this way? My best time is before lunch and before 3pm. Its so frustrating because I want to be able to do stuff with the friends im making at church but I never have energy.

I have always felt worse before a storm hits. I always could tell that a storm was going to happen that day even when it didn't say it was on the weather site. I get lightheaded and woozy before a storm. We had a snow storm last night and a storm coming tomorrow night into Monday so I am really brain foggy!

I have ocd, generalized anxiety disorder and anxiety. It has gotten a lot better over the years but I still struggle. I get real disoreiented with my anxiety and it makes me feel almost zombieish. I worry about my health a lot. I have so many health problems that when I have brain fog which is like almost everyday I worry about it which worrying about it makes it worse If I get chest pain which is always nothing I still worry. I don't let myself get too worried though. I also hate crowds. I don't like going into target or walmart the lights bother me I hate crowded places. I am on a medication for my anxiety that is not an ssri. It is called Vistaril. It is a form of hydroxyzine which is more for anxiety. It helps. It doesn't last all day so I take one pill in the morning and one at supper. My beta blocker atenolol has helped me with the physical symptoms of anxiety like shakiness sweating and pounding heart. I was on celexa for a few years but that made me worse so I had to stop it. I hope you find something that helps!! Anxiety is not fun!

I am 4'10" and have a wrist size of 5 1/2. Hopefully they make a smaller one. Has anyone tried a Mio Fuse hr one? Is that one more accurate?

I was on celexa for a few years and that made me worse. We didn't realize it was the Celexa until years after. I never had hypoglycemia then suddenly after starting Celexa I got hypoglycemia. Then I was a lot more dizzy. I could not lay flat on my back or I would be dizzy and turning my head while walking made me dizzy. My anxiety was worse with the Celexa as well. Then I think it was summer or near summer of 2013 we weaned me off Celexa. I was on 40 mgs. I weaned off slowly but still the withdrawal side effects were frustrating I would get even worse dizziness. Finally I was done with Celexa and I don't have hypoglycemia anymore and my anxiety has gotten so much better. One SSRI that helped my anxiety was Luvox. I couldn't take it anymore after a few years of taken it because I got used to it. But it worked for me then. Hope you find something that helps!
