migraine?

[firewatch]

my hubbys woken up with blurred vision in one eye with what he says are triangles and flashy lights, i think he has a migraine. hes worked late night last night and the previous 2 nights played late on the xbox.
Hes kicked me off the sofa bed and is curled up under a quilt with dark glasses. The pain has only just started so hoping he picks up soon, any one know for sure be glad of answers,i have 2 toddlers in the house.

Now that the pain has started there is not much to be done... When I used to get them a lot I would just hide away in the dark as he is doing and try to sleep. :-/

Yes, it's migraine - migraine comes in many shapes and guises.

I suffered for years, and my GP explained to me that you can suffer any or all of the phases - the aura (lights), the pain, the vomiting, the aftermath when you feel you have been hit by a bus.

I used to take Propain Plus for mine, it worked, but he needs to sleep it off if at all possible, I've suffered for up to three days sometimes before it went completely - I would feel completely washed out for about three days afterwards.

The pain is agonising and only keeping still, taking strong painkillers, drinking water, and sleeping used to send it away for me.

I wouldn't expect anything of him for the rest of the day....

Good, that's what he needs, as much peace and silence as possible. Re the X-box - never used one, but I know that staring at the computer - flashing lights etc - can bring one on for me, especially if I am overtired, as he might be.

yeah he is over tired was meant to finish at midnight last night but didnt finish till nearer 2. so leaving him be prob be dominos tonight

I agree, sounds like migraine........600mgms of Ibuprofen should help the pain.

hes had some ibruprofen and codeine, sleeping it off still just took him some milk up. Thanks squad, i keep the ibruprofen and codeine to hand as i have fibromialgia, and it helps me with that.
