It's only been mentioned as a possibility so far, so I don't have any details yet, but that a dihydroergotamine iv is very likely.stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376314727233594908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100388196141829299.post-82461931953521854322011-03-28T11:11:51.925-07:002011-03-28T11:11:51.925-07:00Do you mind me asking what you may be hospitalized...Do you mind me asking what you may be hospitalized for?

I personally think EVERYONE who is ever hospitalized should hava a private room. But, if you are there for intractable migraine...a roomate will only exacerbate symptoms. You need quiet and darkness...and limited stimuli. Request it beforehand!!!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674502605710098012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100388196141829299.post-31710221057413458112011-03-27T22:35:47.416-07:002011-03-27T22:35:47.416-07:00The first time I had a roommate because THAT docto...The first time I had a roommate because THAT doctor sucked. The second time I had a private room because I was in too much pain going in and I actually had a group of doctors that had some sense.<br /><br />I never was in controlled enough pain (because of the type of headache I have which is NOT migraine) to be comatose.

I brought pillows from home, a blanket from home, my ice pack, ear plugs and an eye mask. I was pretty much comatose the whole time....so I didn't care about much. Jesse was also able to bring me whatever I wanted to eat, he helped me shower and took me for little walks around the nurses Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674502605710098012noreply@blogger.com
