sick off meds
Apr 16^th, 2009 at 9:48am

SO -
thought I'd throw it out there... I know lots of you have tried many meds. Have you gotten sick off of them?

(I thought I'd just change them up if they weren't effective. Didn't expect This!)

I have been sick as a dog since last night - haven't done anything different from the last few days so I don't know if it is triggered from a migraine I got yesterday (my first this CH cycle) or from the preventative meds which I have been increasing - prednisone and verapamil...increased Mon tho. But I thought I'd throw it out there. Undecided

Back into the doc this am. back to the drawing board. HA

indeed.

Just got O2 actually... had my first waking PF hour Tues night - in 2 1/2 weeks!!
I can't fathom trying to abort a CH right now as sick as I have been with O2 however... and if it Was the migraine that brought it on, not Just the meds - I'm SOL
Just wanted to see if anyone has gotten sick off the preventatives alone...

It COULD be a reaction, OR it could be just a virus or flu. Make sure you bring it up to your doctor. BTW, I answered your latest PM ... *GO FOR IT!!* Chuck

I'm with Chuck - talk to your doc about all the effects and try keeping a diary. Also, it's worth keeping a stash of non-prescription weapons just in case. Ice packs and red bull. Em x

Val,

Back when I still took the meds neuros subscribed to me, I always read carefully the possible side effects, because for some reason I got too many of them.

When ch went into remission for 11 months in 2005, I decided that if it returns, I won't go back to neuros. Ch returned and I kept the promise I made to myself. It's been energy drinks, caffeine tablets mostly since and one guarana trial this cycle around.

It's wise to keep a diary and see what happends. Talk to your neuro, if you're worried about something the meds might cause you. After all - neuros know what the meds are supposed to do, you know what they will do to you.

Anyways, I wish you lots of PF time very soon and feel much, much better!

Sanna
