A mental health nurse found an "amazing" treatment for migraines after he woke up projectile vomiting.
Since he was a teen, Peter Phillips, 32, has suffered from migraines that leave him lying in dark rooms with curtains drawn and screens off. Usually, he'd drink lots of water and sleep them off, but two years ago, the migraines became more frequent and severe, causing Peter to feel nauseous, miss work and start seeing "flashing lights". The man from Warrington said: "It was very scary. Because I'm a mental health nurse, I thought I was hallucinating, I thought it was a bit of psychosis, but my GP said it's part of the migraines."
His doctor prescribed medication for the headaches, which reduced them enough for him to function. But the migraines got worse every time they came back until he woke up projectile vomiting after going home from work in "overwhelming" pain. Peter said: "It was like something from The Exorcist, the level of vomiting and how I had no control over it."
