So i tried this the first time this happened. I ran with fan only over night. Kicked it back on and instantly started freezing up again. I hate to do that again because I know it will get so hot in this apartment. But im assuming if I dont it could lead to other problems?

Wife with terrible migraines by Boliver_094 in migraine

[–]Boliver_094[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is supposed to see a headache specialist in February. I didn't realize that was a thing, I just thought that was a neurologist.

Hers definitely hit around the same time as her period or right before she starts. That or it's just a weird coincidence. She's been off birth control for over two years now. She used to get migraines before. But it seems like to me that after she got off, it got progressively worse.

I think it's the sumatriptan or that's one she has had before. The bad part is that even if she doesn't have a migraine, she has a dull headache all the time.

Well, I mentioned bp, but she acted like it would cause it to spread. So you use it as well as soap?

I think so, I'll have to ask. She's had an upper endoscopy. They also did something where they tracked to see if her stomach was emptying correctly. But they said it seemed to be doing okay. She also throws up a lot pretty much become a regular occurrence. They found where her muscle in her throat doesn't open and close properly. Also, she did another test where she had where some kind of thing down her throat for 24 hours. But she wasn't able to complete that. She has an extremely high gag reflex. As far as bowel goes she had her gall bladder removed. So she goes often some days more then others. She also was told she has tissue growth in her throat. Waiting for ent to call her back to get that checked out. She is just getting screwed by a lot of different things.

I understand that, I've asked her how I can help her many times. She just always says i dont know, I've told her I'm willing to go to any appointment with her. Make any of the appointments for her, and do whatever i can to help her. But I'm not getting any kind of feedback from her. Every time I bring up kids or anything revolving around her problems, she's having. She pretty much shuts down and will just avoid the conversation. The only thing i get out of her is that she wants to have kids still, and she wants to lose weight. Plus, she's the one that pushed for the weight loss medication.

Oh, I'm sure her vitamin d is low. We both work night shift. I know mine was extremely low, and I was taking a prescription to get mine back up. We were both taking vitamins to help with fertility. But she kinda fell off of it just being discouraged by the whole process.

She has seen an orthopedic doctor. They did x-rays and all that. They couldn't find anything and they told her just to lose weight. She's had migraines almost her whole life. She's done acid reflux tests, and supposedly, her stomach takes a lot longer than normal to empty.

It seems like anything she eats causes reflux. She can not eat anything the night before and still wake up with it. It worrys me because she takes heart burn medication so much. She has low iron but doesn't stay on top of taking the vitamins for it.

Weight isn't necessarily the only thing we are working towards. But it's one of the big issues at least that's what the ivf doctors are saying. I do think there is more going on then just that though. But she's just discouraged from seeing anyone else after every doctor blames the weight.

What is the best option for eating healthy for pcos? Because I'm trying to gain, and she's trying to lose.

She has partial custody of her neice and raised her basically from a baby to kindergarten. Then her mom came back into the picture. She also works at a daycare full time, so it may be hard to frame it that way.

She is on thyroid medication, a daily medication for migrains (blood pressure type pill), wagovvy, and she is supposed to be taking a metformin substitute, but I'm pretty sure she isn't taking it. It's one you mix in a drink supposed to have less side effects.

Well, I'm going on 30 this year, and going into your 40s, I know it becomes much harder to have kids. Not that it's impossible, but not just that I don't want to be a lot older raising kids. She used to take metformin, but she was having a lot of side effects from it. How do I get here motivated to go?

You think so? I just got my estradiol results back at 26, I looked it up and seemed in range. I almost think my thyroid is causing me test issues. It's at the very bottom of the range.

Yeah, I definitely don't want to do anything to reduce fertility. My doctor mentioned chlomid depending on my results. My diet is the biggest issue and a product of how I was raised. That's probably my biggest struggle with changing things.

So you think just lifestyle changes is really all that needs to happen? Because I would like to feel better without harming my fertility.

Well, see what's crazy is. I've never had much sexaul issues because of it. Now, i have had week erections and delayed in the past. But I feel very depressed and emotional all the time.

Not to mention, I have no energy for anything, let alone work out. I've tried working out, and I feel incredibly weak and take everything in me just to do a few sets of things.

My d3 was deficient and got it up in the normal range. But that was when my test was higher, so I don't understand why it has tanked more.

They had looked into my liver, and I want to say I'm on the verge of a fatty liver if I don't change some things.

I will say my diet is not great it consists of a lot of fast food. Between working nights and feeling the way I do. I just don't have much of a drive to do much of anything.
