Migraines and Vikes
by PrettyIs, Aug 13, 2007 03:02PM
Hi everyone,
I have some questions and I know there is always help here :) OK. On Saturday I woke up with a pounding migraine...this was my 14th day clean from the vikes... as some of you know, my husband has my script locked up in the safe so I have NO access. Fine with me, better that way..ya know.. so...I tried motrin at 6am, no go. Around 8am, my husband woke up and I asked him for 2 vikes, they are 5/500s.My habit WAS 8 10mg Norcos a day. Anyhow, he gave me 2 pills. No help. The headache had been there too long. Around 10:30am, I asked him for 3, I was hoping maybe just that little extra would do the job. We are without insurance right now OR I would have just gone to get a shot so I would'nt have had to take any.OK. The migraine went away!! FINALLY!!!!! BUT............my nose itched like CRAZY!!!! AND by 8pm, I was covered in HIVES!!!!!! Mind you, this used to be my fun train....rode it every day....occasionally, I would get hives but not like that!!!!! Can anyone tell me what happened?? Why?? My husband says now I am back to 2 days clean, and I know technically I am....but I didn't take the vikes to get high, I took them for legit. pain this time and now I kinda feel like I failed myself.... My guy is NOT a pill man, NEVER. He takes very little for any pain at all. Where as I, on the other hand, am wimpy. I take topomax (topamax) for my migraines and it actually works awesome!!!! Its $200, without insurance and I had to wait a few days to refill it and skipped a few days. Thats probably where the migraine originated. Still, I would so appreciate some feed back and opinions on this. I'm kinda sad :( I have been doing my BEST BEST BEST and all because of Saturday, I feel like I failed. Is this "technichally" a relapse???? No, I have not taken anymore....Just for the headache on Sat.That was it. Didn't get high, floaty or anything. Just itchy, bumpy and pain relief.... Thanks for any and all responses. Have a great day people:) Sarah

PS. I dont know how often you get migraines, but maybe there is a forum on this site where you could ask some people with similar issues how they face migraine without narcotics. Good luck!!!
