Just got back from the ER. I started a migraine on the 8th and it kept getting worse. At one point I thought it was gone, but it must have just taken a coffee break. I tried to eat and take my medications, and that was not good. After spending the night with nonstop vomiting, I had husband take me to the ER.
Took a ton of medications, but they got the migraine stopped, and made my system stop heaving. I am going to take a nap now. At least our insurance became effective 9/1 and will cover this.
I do want to warn you ALL to not let anyone give you phenergan (also called promethazine) by iv or injection. The nurse told me that they have learned that this can completely tear up your veins and cause serious problems. They gave me another medication, one similar to zofran. As it was only a few months ago that I was given phenergan by iv for a similar migraine situation, I don't know how widespread the knowledge of this problem is. I don't want any of you to end up with damaged veins due to this medication.
off to sleep.
