Migraine Central

So it has become pretty clear that prednisone/cortisone has been the main culprit in the consistent migraines.
After each set of cortisone injections I was suffering with severe migraines daily for 1 month-3 months straight.
Thinking it could be coincidental because they also occurred during a season change, I have been hopeful... but then I went on prednisone for this bladder inflammation. During that course I was also suffering with highly severe migraines every single day (which are still plaguing me).
These migraines are exhausting!
After a quick conversation with one of my specialists about this, I asked him if the steroids could be inducing these migraine flare-ups.
The answer: it's possible.
Obviously there is no way to know 100% unless scans are done after the injections. It's not as though you can scan my brain and there's a sign saying "steroid migraine" being held up by brain tissue.
The worry, however, is that steroids can increase intracranial pressure. With that potential, it was suggested that I speak with my family doctor and possibly even a neurologist.
Maybe they will do some brain scans after my next round of cortisone shots to see if that is what is actually occurring?
I don't know.
I just hope that there is a way to combat this side effect or that we find out for certain that this effect is not actually endangering my health.

That would just be a bummer.

I mean, steroids are by no means 'safe' or 'fun' to take, but if my body has decided that I cannot take them, that is a problem. With a body so riddled with inflammation, having a major medication (another major medication) being taken off the list as an option could be devastating.
So let's hope that it is not a danger. Even if it means not being able to get the cortisone shots but still able to take prednisone when required, I will be happy.
I hate prednisone. Frankly, I don't know anyone who has been on it who likes it. But it does come in handy as a last resort to settle things down. It can be a miracle drug when your life is on the line.

Fingers crossed.
