Migrain Headache's Since My Baby Was a Month Old

My son is autistic and had suffered from abdominal migraines for years. Over the years he has been to doctor after doctor, tried many meds, and checked for allergies, all to no avail. He is now migrain free. What has helped him is chiropractic adjustments ( Dr. Dan Lyons in Howard is amazing)

I get Migrains when I dont drink enough water. Could this be the same with you? I know that with breast feeding you need extra water and nutriants. I dont know if this will help, but I thought I would bring it up. Good Luck!

I have for sure and been put in the hospital for days at a time. I recomend that you start a headacch diary, record sleep patterns, stress levels and foods that you have eaten within the last 24 hours. 9 time sout of 10 there is a pattern. Also you may start to take a vitimin B complex, Costco has a great one that helps with sleep adn stress.
Hopefully this helps.

A.,
I really don't think it would have anything to do with nursing, i have 4 children and nursed all of them and i NEVER had headaches or migrains, are you getting enough rest? sleep??
if so i would definatley talk to your Dr. ASAP- if he is not getting anywhere, maybe you should get a 2nd opinion. Maybe you need to have some tests ran to rule out, whether it is something serious or not...just my opinion!!
But you never know.
I have a brother-n-law- who is only 32, that just found out last week he has skin cancer and he has 2 young children. He is having surgeries and tests done this week....not good!
anyways - he too was tired, and had headaches for about a year, he also had some tingling in his arm...i think they put him on some depression medication?? but he also had a spot on his arm, that was about the size of a pinky finger tip, that was dark, so he had it removed...and it turned out to be melanoma.
so my advice is, no matter how old you are...who you are...get it checked sooner better than later! You are young and your babies NEED you!
Take Care and good luck...best wishes to you and your family.

Have your doc check your blood pressure. Also see if it's a side effect of your thyroid meds.

Have you gone to the chiropractor since you delivered? I've gotten everything from headaches to numbness in my arms and legs after delivering, and a few visits to get my back adjusted was all it took. Plus, a little "me" time without the kids is always welcome. :)

I was getting bad headaches after my second son was born, and my OB recommended I try taking Excederin Migraine. No other pain reliever touched those headaches, but one dose of those knocked them out. It might be worth a try.

Hi A., I would go see your family Dr. if I were you. I have had migraine headaches my whole life and when I was pregnant I was on extra magnesem that seemed to help then at 4 months pregnant they went away but came back after my son was born so Im back on my medication so mine didnt start after he was born and while I was breast feeding him so the best thing is to contact your Dr. if you havent already and he/she can maybe hopefully help you. Good luck I know those are no fun. L.

I think you should go to the doctor and tell them you think you have ppd. I'm sure the thought would never even cross your mind to hurt your child but people that do hurt their childeren alot of times have ppd. I would most deffinetly contact your dr. ASAP.
