For several years now, I have had migraines, but during this past week they have been much worse and continuous. I had been taking prescribed migratine capsules, but as they weren't helping at all, I stopped taking them. Today, I had really bad menstral cramps (which is a normal occurence for me), so I took ibuprofen to help. However, after about an hour the cramps were still as painful as ever. About two hours after the cramping had started, I broke out into a cold sweat and started feeling really chilly (in addition to the worsening pain fo the cramps). Shortly thereafter, I started losing my ability to see and function (everything turned bright white and I wasn't able to stand or walk properly). All I could see during the next hour or so were brief glimpses or the same bright whiteness with outlines of certain objects around me. Is this simply because of the cramps or is it more to with my migraine? And no, my migraines are not the result of stress.
Thanks!
