Migraine Misery *UPDATE*

Poor Christa, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. I pray that the new medicine works for you, and the side effects lessen quickly as well!

Hugs,

Good luck with the Imitrex!! It works perfectly for me!!

I take my Topomax at bedtime with a full glass of water and I've been fine with it, although I've found that it had curbed my appetitie some. I tend to get busy and forget to eat and have to make myself eat something. Also I've start with the tingling in my hands, that's another side effect, but it's not so bad that it drives me crazy, so when that starts, don't freak out.

Yeah, my doc told me to expect the tingling. I'm not looking forward to that, as I TYPE for a living and am not sure how uncomfortable that will be.

I just don't understand why I am so sick! I just took my 2nd pill last night. Got up this morning and ate 1 piece of toast and feel like I could vomit.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that this side effect will lessen.

It's killing me to think of all the good food that will be served on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day . . . and if I eat, I'll be sick the whole weekend. Guess I'll steer clear of all the goodies.
