I have been receiving neurology treatment at Daegu Catholic University Hospital for two years due to migraines.

 

 

 

 

I have been suffering from migraines my entire life.
Two years ago, I went to Daegu Catholic University Hospital Neurology Department for a cerebral artery dissection and recovered.
Receiving treatment from the same professor until now

I am consistently managing my migraines as well.
Just in time for my regular check-up today, so here is my warm review after the visit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been living with headaches since I was young.
I thought everyone had headaches because my parents are suffering from headaches.
Everyone has different places where they feel pain.
Our family is particularly prone to problems with the head.
Actually, headaches can be related to brain diseases as well, but
It is often the case that they are sensitive or neurotic.

In particular, it gradually developed into migraines over time.
It has become very severe while working at the workplace.
I was in so much pain that I took medication.
Over-the-counter headache medications are not effective.
Occasionally, the liver hospital advises checking the cycle.
Since then, I checked every time symptoms appeared.
I am currently experiencing it about two to three times a month.

 

When a migraine starts, it won't go away without taking medication.
Because I am suffering from the left side
My left eye hurts so much that it's difficult to close or open it.
Sometimes I even cry.
Sometimes you experience pain from the left ear down to the neck, shoulder, and arm.
If you miss the opportunity to take medicine, you will have to suffer for three days.
It feels like this illness was supposed to happen originally.
You need to take the medication at that time; after it has started, taking it won't be effective.
When this starts, I feel dizzy and sometimes vomit.
They also react sensitively to light and sound.

Of course, I also had tests and took medication.
There were no abnormalities in the brain that could be the cause of migraines found in the examination.
So, it's important to take medication at the right time when symptoms start to appear.
The idea that not experiencing stress is important

Before going to the neurology department at Catholic University Hospital where I am currently attending

It's something I've heard at every hospital.

 

 

 

 

 

Earlier, it was mentioned that migraines do not respond to regular headache medications.
There are also a lot of different types of medicines.
It would be best for each person to find and take what suits them.

I realize that the medication suitable for me may not be suitable for others.

There are many cases where side effects occur.
I ended up with a cerebral artery dissection.

To Dr. Do Jin-guk, Department of Neurology, Catholic University of Daegu
I am taking Migard tablets as prescribed.

A sense of destined familiarity because we share the same last name.
You speak as if you consider me more friendly as well.
Doctor, she said she has been suffering from migraines since she was young, which was difficult for her.
So, I heard that they wanted to study this properly and overcome it.
Doctors don't go through and suffer from all the illnesses themselves to know how to treat them.
But because they experienced it themselves, they understand the feeling of that pain completely.
That's why I trust even more.

 

 

 

 

 

Migard tablets that I have been taking with a prescription from the doctor for over two years.
Today, I went for my regular check-up and received this much.

Are there any issues with your blood pressure, or have you experienced any pain due to specific symptoms?

He asked about how I was feeling and other related questions.

They prescribed that as long as there are no particular issues, it can be managed as it is now.

From the time I was diagnosed with cerebral artery dissection and received a complete recovery diagnosis until now
2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months...
We adjusted the timing of regular check-ups based on the condition in this way.
Today, they finally said it's okay to come after six months.
As long as you just take the medication like now and recover, there shouldn't be any major problems.
They said it would be enough to manage it this way.
It's okay to see each other after a year, but then I would feel anxious...
Someone who knows my psychology very well, haha
So, I decided to go for a check-up in six months.

I feel reassured only when I see the teacher's face once in the middle and have a conversation.

 

 

 

 

What management do I need to do until then?

First, do not worry about medication and ensure a pain-free experience.
If you endure not taking medicine because of the prejudice that it is bad to get better by doing so
That stress is worse for your health.
It is necessary to take it properly.

The above photo is a prescription diagnosed with cerebral artery dissection and migraine.

This is the prescription I received today.

I always receive it like this.

Once you go, the period until the next visit is long, so the amount of medication prescribed is large.

This can be resolved with actual expenses, so I like it.

 

 

 

 

 

Second, exercise.
The exercise that the teacher liked the most is running.
Since migraines are primarily caused by neurological factors
I need to let go.
People with my personality find that difficult.
So, he told me to run without thinking.
They say you also need to manage your weight.
Additionally, I have neck disc issues and headaches caused by poor posture.
We also do stretching to correct our posture and straighten our bodies.

 

I experience migraines related to menstruation and nervousness about two to three times a month.

I still discussed with my supervising professor.

I am finding and managing the method that suits me.
