Complicated feelings about Montelukast
I have been getting tested for possible MCAS for a bit despite clear tests, we did accidentally find out along the way that i probably have Sjogrens (positive SSA & SECCA) and i have been put on restasis for that and it’s helped a lot. My allergist has been trying a bunch of meds for me and we are preparing to do allergy shots but in the meantime we are trying Montelukast.
It’s been a genuine miracle worker, I have had GI problems that have been getting progressively worse over the years which has amounted to daily pain with all means. Since starting montelukast i have not had pain with eating, nor have i had reactions. Additionally my heat flush and congestion have gone down immensely.
The only issue is, i have a history of migraines and they seem to have only gotten worse since starting. Migraines aren’t something new to me, and even more recently they have worsened to being with aura with every few flair ups. Since i’ve started montelukast though, every migraine flare i’ve had has had aura and i’ve been sleeping a lot more because of the fatigue it causes.
Which sucks because in ways this medication has given me back so much but had a really painful cost, anyone else have these issues with montelukast?
