Morning headaches.

[peglem]

In all honesty, with all of the things I can't eat (meat, gluten, caffeine, etc..) I think I'm gonna wait on seeing a doctor to add another one to that list, hahah.

 

& I get that! But why would the headaches come when I wake up? Am I anxious in my sleep or something? Hahah.

 

I've just understood it to be a "migraine thing". I guess I've been lucky...no side effects from the imitrix!

 

This link says the morning headaches could be related to restless leg and/or sleep apnea. http://themigraineheadachecenter.com/what-...he-morning.html

 

I saw that website! That's actually the one that made me wonder about sleep apnea. Earlier I asked if it was possible to not wake other people if you had it. My Dad has horrible sleep apnea & Narcolepsy, so it's not out of the question since I have Narcoleptic symptoms. Scared to get tested for apnea after seeing the affect it's had on my Dad though. He was hospitalized some twentyfour times last year? *shiver* Oh well. Talking to my Mom about scheduling the appointments next week. Then we'll know a little bit more! Or, at least be closer.

Since I don't sleep much when I have my RLS while menstruating I really can't report any headaches during that time though!

 

ANOTHER RANDOM UPDATE. Called Dr. Kovacevic's office about changing my appointment to a phone consultation. In-office appointment would have cost $35 with my insurance, but apparently an hour long phone call is $500? The receptionist told me that & I was just like "Yeahhhh.... Go ahead & just cancel the appointment."

Disappointing, but oh well.

 

Ah, insurance will not pay for phone, only exam. Sorry to hear that, maybe you'll get a chance though, with your aunt living there.

 

About the aspartame....really think you should reconsider, apartame is famous, very famous for causing headaches, among other things. Have you tried taking ibuprofen as a prevention before you go to bed?

I'm sure I will too! This just wasn't the right time, I suppose.

 

& I'll look into that! & Ibuprofen really does nothing at all when I take it when I wake up, do you think that it would be any different if I took it before bed?

I think its worth a try to take the ibuprofen before you go to sleep. It does have anti-inflammatory problems and helps with circulation.
