I was wondering... has anyone suffered their first migraine after taking the birth control pill for the first time? And then suffered from daily headache ever since? Mine just happened to start one and a half week after starting the birth control. I've had a daily headache that may transform into a full blown migraine since the end of May. With that I get rollercoaster of symptoms such nausea, balance problems, weakness, fatigue, left side numbness arm and leg (like its asleep with the pins and needles feeling). The head pain is not specific to one side of the brain, it can be left or right, front or back or just all around. However i have never gotten any intolerance to light or noise but the tintinutis(sp?) is louder. I banned every single foods/drinks from the list of triggers for over two months. Advil and Tylenol don't work, they only make matters worse. Whenever I go to the ER they stop the headache/migraine but then I wake up the next day with a new one. I have a prescript
ion for Imitrex (not for the weak!!!) which did make the migraine go away but the side effects were terrible!!! After twenty minutes of taking the pill I wanted to go back to the migraine!!! I felt exhauted, I had chest heaviness, my left arm, left leg and right arm went numb, I was hot/cold and the day after the side of my chest was burning! Is that a somewhat normal reaction??? And after all that woke up the next day with a new one... Does anyone has any advices?? I'm suppose to go back to College in three weeks and I don't know what to do anymore...
