migraines

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I've had neck pain for 5 days now and a headache for 2. Yesterday while driving I lost vision in my left eye and half in my right eye. It went away then I drove home and I lost my vision again. I went to the hospital since I have a bad hx of eclampsia and preeclampsia. L&D cleared me with no preeclampsia but my OB refused to give me even any nausea meds or Tylenol. I've had a headache for 2 days now, neck pain for 5... I took Tylenol at home and been using a heating pad but it barely touches the pain. I just want to cry from pain and frustration. ER and l&d were sending me back and forth between them btw...

I just went to the hospital yesterday because I've had severe headaches and dizzy, vision change, and nausea for 5 days and they did lab work to find out I was dehydrated. I really thought I was drinking enough so try forcing more fluids

The meds worked, finally no more pain! I'm going to watch it on how many I take though because I guess that this is an addictive medication. The OBs nurse said they're totally fine in pregnancy but I'm going to be cautious any way....Thanks ladies: )

Also if you put peppermint oil on temples behind ears and base of neck it does wonders

Fiorcet works really well for migraines I had them in a previous pregnancy and it was a life saver.

You might be dehydration, try to drink more water and ice is better for pain,put a ice pack  on the back of neck or temples. Hope that helps! Good luck
