Well, I've been on my new meds for 5 days. This is the best I have felt in over 2.5 years! I almost feel like myself again! I'm absolutely exhausted and feel like I could sleep a week or more away! I...
I'm so glad her migraine broke!!! I would be finding a Neurologist who specializes in migraines. I'm 37, had my first migraine 2.5 years ago that lasted 4 months. To this day it still hasn't...
I went to a new Neurologist yesterday. He specializes in migraines/headaches. He seems like an extremely good Dr., I was very pleased! He's thinking I have Hemicrania Continua. He started me on a 7...
Well, I have a consultation tomorrow for the botox injections. Not sure what is going to happen. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!...
Unlike a lot of you, I've only been suffering from migraines since January 11, 2008. That migraine lasted til April. I spent 4 months in bed, so many trips to family Dr., Neurologist, Chiropractor,...
It's horrible when there are no answers and we're the Dr.'s test subjects. Yes, I had my Dr. appt. Tuesday. As soon as I opening the office door I had a smell hit me like a ton of bricks. Someone in...
I've been taking Aleve to help keep my migraines to a functioning level on a daily basis. During the beautiful summer weather I could get by with 2-3 each day. Now I'm up to 6-8 Aleve each day. I...
Yep, everyday, every hour-minute-second, since January 11, 2008. Not one second have I not had a headache or migraine. I've tried chiropractor, it didn't do anything. I've tried several...
I'm ready to drop down to part time, like 2-3 days per week. I've pretty much had a "slight" migraine since January this year. Several times each month it gets real bad, lasting from 5-10 days each....
Thank you so much! She is almost 2 hours from me (I'm south of Columbus). Just go out 70, that's not a bad drive. I can handle that. It's definately worth a try. If my neurologist appt. on the 17th...
I'm on my 2nd PCP, who I really like but he really doesn't understand. I've been to 1 Neurologist who apparently doesn't understand either. I've had a migraine since Jan. 11 this year. Last week I...
Thanks for the replies. Since my first post I fired my orig. family Dr., hired a new family Dr., and went to my 1st Neuro appt. yesterday. I'm not sure how much help it's going to be. They have me...
I've been to the Dr. 3x's about my migraines/headaches that hasn't gone away for 2 minutes since January 11. He put me on Topamax last Thursday. After 2 pills (25mg) I had so many side effects I quit...
Ann, I'll start searching and see if there are any headache specialist around. It amazes me how many dr.'s don't care. Oh yes, they've woke me up in the night. I've read about cluster headaches, a...
Ann, Thanks for replying! The pain is behind both my eyes and in both my temples, more of a constant sharp stabbing pain. It lasts for several hours. Then it'll taper down to a dull headache. The...
A bit about me 1st. I read often, but have never posted. I'm 34 with 2 kids, daughter is almost 15 and son just turned 12. I've had a few migraines in the past couple years - the kind with aura. They...
