• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

the past few days i've had a migraine. i woke up today with a headache and i vomited like crazy. was nauseated with a headache all day, never even got dressed. i couldn't get comfortable anywhere. i even layed in the floor and was uncomfortable.

dr. got me on naproxen (spelling?) and some weird antibotic for UTI (urinary tract infection). have no idea how i got it either! i've been having bad backaches. but i think the meds he's got me on are making me sicker. plus the antidepressants and all .. i'm pumped up on meds and i'm tired of taking them.

any advice? do i have a flu? im in so much pain i'd almost rather die than to live with this mental and physical pain. eck! :sick:
-Lex :help:

I want you to visit a neurologist. Simply if you became sick,got the flu and vomitted and then got a migraine that could be normal. But vomitting as a result of a migraine is a very very unusual thing. Ask the neurologist the following thing, Prof i don't think its normal , i started vomitting as a result of a severe migraine, do you have any suggestions of what might could be wrong with me could have a neurological cause? Better to be safe and visit a neurologist then to be sorry. I have never heard of vomitting as a result of migraine i have heard thousands of people complain about migraine but vomitting along with it is NOT good.

There's a scale of things , celiac disease, Herpes, brain tumors , that could cause what is happening to you, i don't want you to walk around with this for another 30 years so please get it checked.

Well, my dad has migraines. and he vomits when he has severe ones. And from what I have heard, it does run in the family (his sister has migraines too, and she vomits afterwards as well).
I will check out those sites. Thank you so much for the concern, support and help.
What is celiac disease?
I do not think I have herpes because I am not sexually active. Last time I was, I used protection and it was back in June. Though I will admit, and I've told my doctors about it and had an AIDS test done which came out negative.. I 'got high' with a so-called friend, and .. well, we had oral sex. :( but from what I hear, there's something in saliva that kills that (??). I also forced myself to vomit after I got over my 'high' to rid myself of anything, and I did not swallow anything (yes it was an un-natural act and I have asked the Lord for forgiveness for my terrible sin).
My mum is concerned that I have a brain tumor because I have had migraines since I was 6 years old. Severe ones, and this is not the first time I've vomited because of a migraine.
I will also admit, as I have to my family, friends, S.O., and my doctors - I'm recovering from inhalant abuse. That also could have been a cause of it.
I am quite sensitive as a human being, and I seem to be stuck in a childhood state of mind. I cannot get over the past and I have trouble coping with my childhood. I was molested at age 4 by an older boy. :sigh: I really need help but I don't know where to go or who to talk to. My psychiatrist and psychologist are trying their best to help me out. But nothing seems to work.
I'm very scared, now. I do not know what to do. Suicide is not on my mind right now, but I am frustrated with my life and I have thought about it in the past. Does anyone know what causes those thoughts? Could it be from my childhood traumas?
God Bless you all for your concern and support.. and advice. I love you all, brotherly and sisterly love of course. Thank you for listening to me. I sincerely appreciate all that everyone has done for me.
Hugs,
Lex the elf

Thats it, your off to the neurologist, get yourself an appointment , this is from a brain forum (since i have brain as a hobby -sigh- lol)


Viral Menengitis since 1992
I acquired Herpes Simplex 2 in late October 1992, after 2 years in a relationship with my infected boyfriend at the time, later to be my husband, then ex-husband. Anyway, my initial thought was it's just another Migraine, but within hours I had no range of motion in my neck, chills, fever, vomitting, etc. Went to the E.R. which guessed Bacterial Menengitis for the first 12 hours or so, then after giving the Neurologist my history, actually my boyfriend's history of Herpes, I was diagnosed with Herpetic Viral Menengitis.

I want you to get checked for herpes, brain tumors and if nothing comes out you can check for http://www.celiac.org/cd-main.php celiac disease. If that's not the case then you can still tell your neurologist that you are thinking it might be inherited but you can only make that statement after you visited the neurologist professor.

hey!

thank you so much for your concern. i have sent you a private message on this because what was enclosed is personal and i feel that it is best to communicate this way. like i said in PM, i trust you and your suspicions on all of this. i'm taking it into serious consideration. i appreciate everything you've said and done to help me (links, etc).
this is you, to me: :angel: :holy:
i hope my pm is clear enough for you to understand. i tried my best to put everything there as i could remember. feel free to pm me back when u have time, or post on here. i don't mind :)

You might be experiencing medication side effects. I think you should let the doctor know.

by the way, yes medication side effects sounds much more reasonable, come to think of it, than herpes or anything like that, since i have been tested over and over for almost everything. i've had more blood drawn and urine tests at my age than i know anyone has lol!

my medications come with papers that explain side effects. all my symptoms are on the side effects page!

i hope these links show up (if i'm allowed to post links yet!)

http://www.seroquel.com/cons_sch/seroquel/understand_seroquel/important.asp

http://www.cymbalta.com/depression/about/side_effects.jsp?reqNavId=3.5 << this one is VERY important..

http://www.mentalhealth.com/drug/p30-r04.html#Head_6

I have many symptoms of all my medications' side effects. and please, to anti existance, read these. see what you think. i trust both of you, who have posted here. i would like opinions if you don't mind :)
thank you! :wave:

Migraine is over! But now I have a sore throat. yucky-poo! I think my migraine with vomiting and uti was just a one-time thing, so hopefully all of that will never hit me again. Of course, my nephew has been sick; I was told he vomited today at school. And I'm around him everyday. So it sorta makes since that if (IF) I didn't throw up because of the migraine or uti, then I caught something from him.
Anyway, that's just the update :-D
Thank you all for everything. I certainly do appreciate the care and concern!
