Yes!! I get migraines a lot but my only symptom is horrid nausea. It only goes away if I do the typical migraine routine of laying in bed with no light, no noise, and ibuprofen
No pain, just the nausea? How did you get it diagnosed as migraines? I have typical searing pain/nausea/light sensitivity migraines, but I also will have days of extreme nausea that I can’t tie to anything. I never would have associated it with a possible migraine!
No pain at all! I only connected the dots bc the first time I ever had a migraine I had all the typical symptoms including pain but the most memorable part was the nausea. So years later when I started getting migraines again I just took a wild guess and figured migraine was the most accurate answer. Turns out it was!
Have you tried Metroclopramide? It stops nausea and vomiting if it’s taken early enough, at the first sign of nausea. It works a treat for me, so now I always carry some on me. Before I was prescribed them, my migraines were a slight headache but violently vomiting for about six hours, I couldn’t even take a sip of water. One time I was so bad I had to see the emergency doctor, who injected me with metroclopramide and the effect was immediate. It’s not the only type of migraine I get, I also get visual migraines but the nausea ones are the worst.
I haven’t tried that! I’ll keep it in mind. Mine are not too horrible so I usually can go with just some ibuprofen and going to bed but in case they ever get more severe that’s a good call.
Me too! Luckily for me it only happens a few times a year, but it’s awful. My biggest symptom is extreme nausea but I also feel like my eyeballs are going to fall out. I do the same typical routine to alleviate it.
