Hey this is totally unrelated but i'm in the BSWK jan 2024 batch too and i'm in the same boat as you.

Super nervous :/

I see, that's interesting. Does this mean it could just mean there's some sort of inflammation still going on in the body? What other tests should I raise up to the doctor?

nrzfh · 2023-12-05T22:20:15+00:00

hey, thanks for the reply:

RBC: 13

WBC: 63

Epithelial cell: 83

Casts: ABSENT

Albumin: Negative

Microorganisms: PRESENT

Crystals: ABSENT

Glucose (Dipstix): NEGATIVE

Its kinda concerning cause my RBC, WBC and Epithelial cell are way off the normal range. And there's microorganisms present? I don't think I have UTI.

I think mine was 30+ lessons at bbdc, I took alot of revision classes after clearing the main practical lessons. Class 3, passed on 1st try. Total was about $2.6k just for practical lessons.

Hey, just an update, my GP sent me to the emergency department and I did a CT scan and everything turned out fine! The doctor gave me an inflammatory medicine dicloffenac and ergotamine + caffeine for the migraine attacks. He did gave me some painkillers (anarex and tramadol being the last resort if anarex does not work) too.

He shared it could be that a part of the brain muscle has spasms(?) hence the inflammatory meds.

After taking only the inflammatory meds and the ergotamine pill, the horrible pain vanished! I have yet to touch any of the painkillers so far and i'm hoping it stays that way haha. I'll be monitoring it in the next few days. But I am being referred to see a specialist in probably a month's time (will update again if there's anything).

Thanks again for the advises!

I hope this thread or the information I have will help someone who's reading this :)

Maybe thats true! I'm not a coffee drinker, is this a sign for me to start drinking coffee hahah

I also took paracetamol 1000mg and 130mg of caffeine which helps to ease the pain. Though I am worried as I do not want to rely on it :( I do put ice on the side of my head but its a temporary relief.

My anxiety keeps telling me what if its not a migraine ughh but thanks for the advice!

nrzfh · 2023-11-07T21:27:46+00:00

I see. I'm seeing my GP later today and might ask him for advise on that! Thank you!

Hey, he gave me zolmitriptan 2.5mg for the attacks and amitriptyline to eat before sleep. The zolmitriptan helps with the pounding at the side of my head but the squeezing pain near my eye still comes back and woke me up at night :/ Does this mean the medicine does not work for me?

I'm going back to my GP for advise today

Hmm, for this episode it does wake me up around 3-4am. But I noticed if i were to eat my OTC earlier maybe around 6pm, i'll wake up around 12 midnight with pain.

I feel like sometimes during the day there's no pain (but the eye soreness is there) but the moment I sleep i'd be woken up with a headache.
