I'm having a completely atypical migraine. I've been diagnosed with vestibular migraines for about 2 years. I get dizzy and funny vision and light sensitive. A low dose of topamax prevents 95% of the migraines and taking meclizine at first sign and wearing sunglasses takes care of the rest. I've never had a migraine last more than 6-8 hours or past sleep.
Last Monday I took an oral glucose tolerance test because I'm being evaluated for diabetes (I'm not pregnant). Within minutes of starting to drink, my vision went funny and I knew I was getting a migraine. They wouldn't let me take my meds because it would mess up the three hour test.
I took some meclizine after 3 hours. Did nothing. Went to urgent care on day 2, got toradol, compazine, fluids, did nothing. Went to ER on day 3, got steroids, more anti-emetics, more fluid, etc, did nothing. Saw neuro I like on Thursday, got third dose of Toradol, a 4 day flare of pred (which is messing up my blood sugar fierce and making me scared of food) and zofran. On strict orders from my endo if I puke to go to ER, but have avoided that so far.
She told me to call her back on Monday if migraine still going. It's still going. Headache, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, nausea, dizziness to the point of swaying when I walk, word finding problems.
I just don't know what to do anymore. Nothing like this has ever happened to me.
