migraine during pregnancy

Aku kene migraine attack since last Wednesday.

 

Background: My normal (before pregnancy) attacks, it’ll wore off after a whole 1 day nap. Previously, I took cafegot lah, ponstant jgn cakap.. all the pain killers for migraine I’ve tried, but it gave the same result. Aku tetap sakit teruk and kene tido the whole day after that (usually the attack comes by around as early as 3pm and worsen during the night). PS aku sgt x suka migraine because I’ll be a total useless bum (twitt, sapa plak yg suka dak??)

Anyway, I took several remedies for this- ubat kampong and went to see a specialist in HUKM. Both aku ikut dgn jayanye. HUKM gave me propanalol.. I have to take it daily… and just to be sure he scheduled for an MRI in june. That went well except I had to ditch them due to my pregnancy.

 

Sekarang: aku sebenarnya jarang or x pernah kene serang during my previous 2 pregnancies. Tapi this one differs! Aku kene attack ari rabu ari tu, together with a pain ass neck, and it didn’t wear off after my 1 day sleep on Thursday. On Friday, aku kene amek EL sbb masih gile babeng sakit. That nite balik alor setar plak. Pun x reda2. ari ahad pun sama. Senang citer, until today I still feel it. Even tho today x seteruk last week’s but still… it bothers me like hell. Menci. Owh.. btw, doctor hanya kasi aku makan panadol and his words- ‘we have to make do with what you can take’. Adoi. In other words, ‘tolan yo lah’.

 

Solution so far: macam biasa lah, all the avoiding food etc (except for coffee- I know I should NOT take sbb pregnant tapi tetibe teringin, but I only take sket je. Just nak hilangkan teringin J ).. I got this from babycenter, which I seriously lack of.

 

‘ Get some exercise
Some evidence shows that regular exercise can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines and reduce the stress that can cause tension headaches. If you're prone to migraines, get started slowly — a sudden burst of activity could trigger one. (And don't exercise once a migraine has started because it will aggravate the headache.)’

 

Heheh I seriously need this. Da lama sgt kitorg x beriadah. Masa mabuk teruk ari tu, ikan dok teman aku memalam, tolong masak and jaga anak, so our night extra curriculum activities terpaksa diletak ke tepi, including ikan’s weekly badminton. Aku pulak, supposedly exercise during weekends tapi asek uwek je… BUT… hopefully, dgn subsiding nye my MS, I am able to continue my exercise. Amin.

 

Hahahh panjang gile, pasal nak cakap nak sambung eksesais je hahahah
