Taste of sweets gone with migraine diagnosis

[rhamza]

I was recently diagnosed with migraine after driving on a cloudy day without sunglasses for an hour and a half that resulted in a terrific headache, sensitivity to light and spotlights blocking my vision.  The following day I could not stand up and felt like I had been given novacaine (sp) from a dentist--the left side of my tongue and upper palate were numb.  I was given Benadryl, Reglan and Toradol which made me feel terrible by an ER doctor.  My personal physician prescribed Maxalt which greatly improved the onset of headaches when I read or am exposed to loud sounds or lights (overhead or outdoors--I always were sunglasses now.)  However, I cannot taste anything sweet--grape juice taste like bad wine and 7-up taste like salty carbonated water.  What can I do or stop doing to return to normal?  I have stopped taking my pain pills for my back problem (Meloxicam and Tramadol) and only take my blood pressure and thyroid meds.  Stopped taking vitamins and supplements too (one-a-day, B-150, chromium picolinate) but have to take Melatonin, D3 and calcium to help me sleep most nights if I haven't taken the Maxalt.

Make sure to drink plenty of water with all medications!
Some doctors believe that to much salt will also bring on migraines.
Yet always remember meds that work for one person may not react the same on another person.
YET most important.
Doctors are practicing medicine and the truth is they have no idea how to address the issue just mask it with drugs. No matter how much blood work you have done and no matter how many test you have done they are still practicing medicine.

Wow, I think your doctor should send you to a specialist in this field
