Hi, I am Katie and I have been diagnosed with Dysautonomia for about 3 years. The doctor has me on Florinef. I have been experiencing extreme migraines for the past 6 months. I was using Excederine until it stopped working then tried Imitrex. That made me sick to my stomach. I am now on Relpax and Amitriptyline for the migraines and to block the pain. I do not do sweets and I do not have any thing with caffene. I exercise regularly, because if I don't I can not handle the fatique. I've had to work up to it slowly though. The doctor told me weight lifting was the best because it helped keep the blood pressure up and I get a little cardio in as well. I notice if I have a large meal I can barely catch my breath. My question is any one experiencing migraines? I know when I have had a bad day and feel out of sorts and foggy headed on comes the migraine. Some of the unbalanced feeling I'm told is the symptom of the migraine. But I can not tell if it is the migraine or the Dysautonomia. Some times it is a though the whole room has spun around. The most frustrating thing is trying to concentrate on a task when the Dysautonomia or the migraine kicks in and trying to know which one of those is the problem. Some times I feel like a lazy bum because I can't get a mental task done. It would be helpful to know if any one has migraines too. I'd like to let my doctor know. thanks.
