Pain killers, such as morphine, trigger migraines
by nr6332, Aug 08, 2009 12:40PM
Recently I went to ER for an intestinal blockage due to Crohns Disease. I was given Morphine and other pain killers which triggered an unbearable migraine (has happened before). I suffered from migraines years ago, but have had them rarely in the last 10 years, so this was unexcpected. I was given immitrex but told I could only have two doses in 24 hours, which was not enough. What do I do If I have to go to the ER in pain in the future? It frightens me to think I might have to endure that kind of pain again. I also got a migraine when required to drink the prep for a colonoscopy and had an empty stomach. These headaches make me want to look for a gun. Any suggestions?
