Question 1

ok i hve miran iud, itz a 5yr one, my question is i had it in for bout 5yrz 8mnthz is that ? n what effects will it cause me ? will i die?

Accepted Answer

You are fine: You will not die from leaving a Mirena (levonorgestrel) in over 5 years. But you are risking much less birth control. So, go get it removed and have a new one put in if you are comfortable with it.

Question 2

my wife is having sever migrans?

Accepted Answer

No question: Severe headaches need an explanation.  If these are indeed migraines then she needs to go through the long list of medication to treat the acute headache and to consider using meds to prevent the headaches. This needs to be supervised by her doc.

Question 3

i need a counsellor who's in the network in midrand?

Accepted Answer

Try looking online: Years ago, listings were available only in printed form. By the turn of the century, lists had become available online everywhere. Now, some lists are only online, and no longer printed. County medical societies (or other local medical societies), hospitals, and insurance companies usually list doctors by name, group, insurance plans, and location. Look under Psychologists or Psychiatrists.

Question 4

im wondring what kind of food i should eat to stop my migras and my food allergesy?

Accepted Answer

Symptom diaries help: If you're allergic to a food, just avoid it.

Document your migraines and include activities, diet of the day, sleep patterns, and anything else you can think of.  Every person is different and writing things down will show a pattern.  In general, avoid wine (an perhaps alcohol in general), aged cheeses, msg/preservatives.

And make sure to hydrate.

Question 5

should i see a dr regarding stop taking amitriphline am on it for 20 yrs because of bad migrian.

Accepted Answer

Yes: I presume that someone is currently prescribing your amitriptyline. You should talk about your interest in getting off of it with the person who prescribes it for you.

Question 6

we believe my wife is having hemoplegic migrans she has proalisis with them how serious is this ?

Accepted Answer

Depends on severity: Hemiplegic migraines can be complicated to diagnose and are best diagnosed and treated by a neurologist. They typically start with an aura that can include one-sided muscle weakness (or a kind of paralysis) and sometimes symptoms that can even mimic a seizure or stroke. Management depends on severity and this is best discussed with a neurologist. I advise referral soon!

Question 7

how can i stop migranes?

Accepted Answer

Abort and Prevent: The ideal solution would be to avoid any reliable triggers (common ones include foods containing the Amino Acid tyramine, red wine, sleep deprivation, and stress).  Barring that, there is a wide range of medications that can help stop individual headaches, ranging from nsaids to triptan medications (e.g. Imitrex).  If your headache is frequent, you may benefit from daily prophylactic treatment.

Question 8

how can midrin affect you?

Accepted Answer

Better or worse?: Better--it gets rid of your headache.
Worse--you get light headed, nauseated, shaky, vomit and still experience the headache for which you took Midrin in the first place.

Question 9

what causes migran headaches?

Accepted Answer

Migraines: We know that migraines are spasms in blood vessels which results in terrible headaches and sometimes visual auras, butu nfortunately we do not know exactly what causes migraines. Sometimes migraines can have triggers, which are different for each person. More common triggers are caffeine, cigarettes, and chocholate.

Question 10

how to get away with migrain?

Accepted Answer

Triptans: For rare migraines, the best thing that has happened in medicine is the discovery of triptans( imitrex, relpax, (eletriptan) maxalt, etc.)

for more than 3-4 headaches per month, you should be on a medication regimen that is designed to prevent the migraines.  This is also protective against migraine related strokes and small vessel disease

i recommend that you see a neurologist.
