severe headache with stomach problems

[hursh10]

Hi! Yes I have seen a physician and she diagnosed IBS and migrane and has put me on Librax, Colofac and something for the migrane sorry forgot that name, but I still have to contiune with the Lyrica and neorontine.  I am feeling much better just very tired. Thanx

Hi sorry for delay in answering. She is on the highest dose I think. It  does seem to help because without it she would never get out of bed to be honest.

I think she has fibromyalgia as well as the cut nerve in her stomach. She used to get burning in her legs before her hysterectomy.

Have you seen your GP since your last post?x

Hello Mariax thanks for your comments I really appreciate your views, I am also on Lyrica, what dosage does your daughter take?  I will ask my GP to test for Lupus and parasites and will keep you posted.

Have a great day:)

Hi just read your post. I read you get every two weeks roughly, headache, FEVER, body ache, vomiting and diarrhea....

I dont think there is a fever in FMS.

Have you been tested for Lupus?

Also i note you live SA have you been tested for the parasites you can get in Africa and other things?

It was just the fever I thought odd.

My daughter has chronic really chronic IBS and also a nerve problem in her stomach caused by a cut nerve when she had surgery for her hysterectomy.

anyway she was put on LYRICA and since she has been on it, her IBS has completely gone. She is now putting on a bit of weight, looks so much more healthy too. Before the Lyrica she could not eat anything or be stressed without it kicking off her IBS.

I read that there is now a link with Lyrica and IBS as a medication. I did find research about it, but since i lost my computer and all my links went too.

IBS is anightmare if you have it really bad.

Big hugs. Mariax

Hello Anitha thank you for your comments I do appreciate it.  I have just been to a physician and she has put me back on IBS medication.  Do you think my diet contributes to the problem I am having with the stomach and headaches.  I will keep you posted after I have been on this meds for a week or so.  Thank you once again for your advise.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The headaches along with accompanying bowel symptoms warrant evaluation. Inadequate eating can cause hypoglycemia and the resultant headache. Similarly lack of sleep can also aggravate headaches. I hope any visual defects have been ruled out. Headaches can be tension headaches, the commonest of the lot, the others are migrainous headaches, those caused due to brain disorders, disorders of the eyes , neck or ears to name a few. To find a cure you need to consult your primary care physician for proper assessment.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Thank you for your response I will certainly try your recommendations and see how it works.  I will keep you posted.

Thank you so much for the advice, as I have been diagnosed with fibromalgia and IBS and am sure that the headache and diahrea is related.

Hey hursh10,
Welcome to the forum.
Most likely digestive or G/I issue related.
Drink a glass of spring water, take some good quality aloe vera juice.
Lie on your left side for a while. Do some tapping (EFT-emotional freedom techniques-freed download. Do multiple rounds of all points.
massage your temples and the base of your skull.
Go to the normal breathing website and learn how to breath properly!
Seriously, most people do not breath properly, without knowing, and that this alone can impact their health.
Do either an elimination type of diet, or do Dr.Coca's pulse test.
It is a free download. It will tell you what you are reactive to
as long as you follow in detail all the instructions.
if symptoms persist or worsen consider going to see a dr.
Hope this helps
