No memory, and migraines?!
Question: No memory, and migraines.?
i am only 18, and have had bad headaches/migraines my whole life, sometimes to the point of crying, and vomiting. i have recently been put on maxalt, and prescription strength advil to help, but when i have the migraine it does not help. i also notice that in the last couple years my memory has gotten really bad, i don't remember a lot of my childhood, and if sometimes if somebody tells me something and i even repeat it to myself and ask them again, i still won't remember 10 seconds later. this is only sometimes, and i can remember somethings quite well. what could this be.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I suffered from migraine ' seizures' as they called them back then( im 31 now and only have a mild case once a year or so) but i never had your prescription ( but back in the 80s there unfortunately wasnt much available) yep,i suffered..but,i do understand your memory loss i also have issues with remembering childhood moments,mate..it may be the migraine not the med! also,look into preventitive medication,not cure. Us sufferers all know it takes a whole lot of strong stuff to rid a nasty one,but to take a preventitive every morning,makes more sense yeah.? I took sandomigran in my teens and into mid 20s,not constantly,i had 4-6 months breaks to see if my body had changed,then back on again ..now i dont take anything but when the 'annual' pops up i have panadeine forte( or 3) and sleep it off for a day( or 3) haha! Best of luck,talk to your doc,atleast you know now your not the only one with memory loss.Take care,xxHealth Question & Answer
