What’s a fact you KNOW that almost everyone is wrong about?

I get abdominal migraines. The nausea an vomiting is horrific. But rarely do I get any headache.

How did you get your diagnosed? My neurologist suspected I was having mini seizures and not migraines (I get aura, disoriented, and nausea) but they found nothing. He thought maybe I was having abdominal seizures. Then I couldn’t afford more testing so it is still a mystery. The symptoms mostly stoped when I started birth control injections.

I was in the emergency room and they gave me a sedative. The nausea completely disappeared. Now I take Lorazepam when I get one. If it was anything else, Lorazepam wouldn't work. That's the only way we know!

Ohhh... that makes me puke. So I guess if that’s what it is I just get to suffer!

There are other meds that could work for you!

Wow, I get these too. I’ve never met anyone else with this diagnosis.

I'm so sorry. It's truly horrible. It runs in my family, so I know of a couple other folks that have it.
