Migraine Hangover for 3 Weeks
I had my first migraine for years 3 weeks ago, after playing football for the first time in years. Started with aura then was up all night with head ache. Ever since my vision hasn't been the same and I have numbness in my hands. Back of my neck is tender. Has anyone had this? I have never taken any medication for migraines.
Thanks for your question. Anytime you experience any new, sudden onset or worsening symptoms it is best to consult with your doctor to rule out anything more serious. Have you by chance discussed this with your doctor yet?
Seen my dr yesterday. He's emailed a neurologist, will take about a week for a reply.
Dr said it's not common for symptoms to last for 3 weeks. He prescribed me with aspirin haha
My girlfriend is a nurse and she has spoken to a neurologist. He said its unlikely to be from migraine.
Need to get my eyes tested to rule that out.
Had my daith pierced a week ago but that hasn't helped ha just going to have to live with it for now.This happened to me and was the start of chronic daily migraines. I don’t remember exactly what broke the cycle of the first two week long migraine, but I think taking out my contacts and switching to glasses helped.
Thanks for sharing your experience and what has helped you. Migraine is a neurological disease. For many of us, anything that produces extra stress on the nerves in and around our heads can tip us over the edge and into an attack cycle. Having an issue with your eyes could very well have caused some extra stress on your optic nerves. I'm glad you found some relief by switching over to glasses. I hope you continue to improve and get out of a chronic migraine cycle. Are you currently seeing a headache/migraine specialist? I hope you have a great day! Warmly, Cheryl migraine.com team 
Have you ever tried going back to contacts? If so, I'm curious if you had the same symptoms. Wishing you a pain-free day. April - Migraine.com Team
