And I'm back. I thought I was free and clear from every day headaches. Boy was I wrong! They're back and I think they're here to stay. It got good for a month or so. Good, meaning a few days out of...
Thanks for replying! Yeah, I think you're right. I'm sure he knows his stuff, but I just feel like I should go to someone who deals with this exact problem on a daily basis. Has anyone here had the...
9/21/12 - date of first blood drawing TSH, 3rd generation - my value= (4.61) standard range= (0.40-4.50mlU/L) T3, FREE- my value = (2.9) standard range- (2.3-4.2 pg/mL)...
I am here today to tell everyone my headaches have FINALLY subsided!!!!!!!! I thought this day would never happen. Of course, it didn't happen over night. I can't pinpoint the exact pill or reason...
^^ thanks Lol By the way, what you said about the clonoazpam had me thinking. I don't believe it's too high a dose. (1mg) As for an update, my recent blood work says my thyroid is not working...
I feel your pain! I get headaches everyday as well. I have no advice for you, just wanted to tell you I feel your pain! You're not alone. I actually was thinking about a Botox shot. My wife's friend...
Did some research. I think it has something to do with my "cornal suture". (A connecting part of the skull) Connects during childhood. I'm not 100% sure it's that, but I googled for ages, and that's...
Great replies, all. Still in pain, every damn day. This is beyond stupid. My neurologist just put me on yet ANOTHER anti depressant. (Nortriptyline) Just started it last week, he's having me start...
Strange topic, but I want to know if anyone has dealt with this. If facing me, it's on the left side of my head. It runs from the corner of my forehead, a little bit further back. If you ran your...
"Keep moving forward", excellent post. Couldn't agree more... As for the OP, hang in there, buddy. It will get better in time. The best thing to do is talk about it, TRUST ME. Even if its just us,...
Almost forgot.... I just saw my neurologist a few days ago. He basically told me to stick to the 15mg mitrazapine, and 2mg clonazepam before bed. Yay! ): and as for my random fatigue, he wanted me to...
Nspeedracer, I've read about lime disease. After reading your post, think I'll look into it some more. Thanks for your reply. Like you, I don't ever remember getting bit by a tick. Nor do I remember...
Reskawannabe, thanks for the tips! Honestly, I just don't know if I could maintain that strict of a diet. That's pretty hard core. Especially considering I LOVE most of the foods u mentioned. Lol I...
Justanothervet, First of all, you are NOT "just another vet"! Every vet is a hero in my book. Anyone who risks their life for me is a quality human being. Thank you for your service to our country....
Well I'm back. Still have the headaches. They're not as bad (not as often), but they still hit hard as ever. I also still get fatigued easily. For example. If I go out and do yard work for a couple...
Quick update: still get headaches almost every day of the week! 'Been on one, 1mg clonozepam at night. I have no idea what I should do next. My next appointment with my general neurologist isn't...
@ my lovely, thanks for posting. You mentioned supplements.... I read bananas can help with migraines. So I started eating one a day. And to me surprise, my headaches actually eased up a bit. (for...
Vicodin? Haven't tried that yet. My neuro just gave me 'midrin'. What a joke! The only thing that has even come close to helping was hydrocodon. Unfortunately, I can't take those pills every day. I...
Finally found something that works. Unfortunately, it's not something I can take over and over. I was at my parents house, when my mother offered me hydrocodon. Lol, she got it a while ago for post...
I'm back. Unfortunately, I'm still at square one. ): Not only are the headaches still here, but I'm constantly getting easily fatigued. Well, the fatigue thing has been going on for a few months now,...
Two dentist told me I definitley grinded in my past. My teeth show it. However, another dentist, (oral surgeon, another topic all together) said he thought that wasn't my cause of headaches. I went...
Maybe I'll do that, thanks. You mentioned TMJ. The one thing I haven't tried is a mouth piece. (the expensive one) I tried the cheap walmart kind, but quit after a few days. Those kind are really...
I'm back! Lol... First off, sorry for not responding for a while. I'll try and recap my events from my last post. Basically, I've seen the neurologist 2-3 more times, and still have these ridiculous...
Well I'm back. Unfortunately, my headaches are still around. Sigh... I've recently realized (as of a week ago) I can no longer take the cyclobenzaprine (flexeril) because it gives me random feelings...
Well I got an earlier appointment for my muscle test. Let me just say that I'd rather have Chinese water torture than do that again. The nerve test (electric impulses) isn't to bad. More annoying...
Here I am again, awake at 1:35 in the morning, when I should be sleeping. Lol To answer your question about it being "improper" to try a medication prescribed by another doctor, absolutely not!...
Clamorous, thanks for sharing your story. However, I don't think you've read through this entire thread. (I don't blame you) I actually got off of valproic acid pretty much right after I started it....
Got a lot to type in order to respond to each. (and I'm on an iPhone) gonna do my best! Fiercygoat, let me start by saying thank you for your advice. I also like how you start with "my friend"....
I'll reply tomorrow in better detail. I'm supposed to be a sleep right now. (part of my self rehab) I'm forcing myself to go to sleep earlier and earlier. Have always been a night owl. Right now it's...
Man oh man I'm seriously starting to go insane! So I've been off the flexerill since Saturday. (about 6 days) believe it or not, my headaches have actually gotten A LOT better. As before, pressure is...
First full day off the relaxer. Very, very slight pressure all day. It's there, but really light. I almost can barely even notice it. This morning when I woke up, it was there, just like the past 4...
I wonder how long this usually takes to resolve itself. I've been taking this muscle relaxer for a month and I'm still noticing headaches. Not as many as usually and not as bad. But they're still...
Jewish mother, thanks for stopping by again. I will definitely continue the updates. I remember sitting there, months ago, very late at night when all this started, answering your questions. It...
Batman, I have no pain/pressure in my spine. It's just my head. I've been on flexeril for roughly 4 weeks. The constant pressure/ vice grip, squeezing my head has settled down drastically. However, I...
I decided to call up my neuro and ask for an earlier visit. Tomorrow I shall inform him of my tingly sensations after scratching random body parts. Like I said earlier, ever since I started the...
I feel your pain. I have my own battle going on right now. Did you ever consider bruxism? (teeth grinding/clenching) That's what my neuro suspects I have. 'Been on CYCLOBENZAPRINE (flexeril) for...
Been wanting to go to a gastro for years now, but haven't had insurance. Now that I finally have insurance, another health problem arises. (headaches) I have a thread on that, currently. As soon as I...
Just to jump in with my 2 cents here. I took a low dose, think it was only for 6 days. Man, I remember the second day I took it. I had the worst panic attack IN MY SLEEP! I woke up sweating and...
Ok, I'll head over and check it out. Thanks!...
Cat111, yes I do have a lot of Lyme disease symptoms, but fortunately I don't have that red target anywhere on my body. Did a little research and most all cases have a red target looking pattern on...
Batman55, have you seen a dentist for possible teeth grinding/ clenching at night? That's what my neuro and dentist both told me I had. My headaches were pretty much constant, like you. Wake up with...
Bout to fall asleep and decided to check my thread. I'm so thankful for all you wonderful people that have chimed in. I'm going to sleep right now but tomorrow I'll answer some questions (Batman55)...
Update: 8/6 Ive been taking the flexeril for almost a month, I believe. I think I'm finally feeling a difference. Almost my entire day is pain free now. Very, very slight pressure. The nights are...
Well I had a reply but for some reason it didn't show up. So I'll give the condensed version. I've been taking flexeril for about 11 days now. Not really any help, pain wise. It does make me a little...
Kymark, thanks for joining the discussion! Thanks to both of you, actually. I was about to go to sleep, when I decided to check my thread. I'll post again tomorrow (if I don't forget) with a full...
Sorry, Jewishmother! Well, unfortunately, I have no good news to report. :( my new neurologist thinks it's bruxism/ (teeth grinding, clenching) dystonia is another word he mentioned. I guess it's a...
7/17 I'm going to the neurology department tomorrow. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that for the last 3 days, Pretty much each (day time) was just about pain/ pressure free. I barely...
Update... Unfortunately, headaches are still here. It's so strange how once a week, it seems to ease up for the better part of the day. Today, for the most part, has been pretty decent. It's now...
Physiatrist? Never heard of that. Don't know if we have one here or not. I also need to find out if we have pain clinic here. Going to look tomorrow. (4th of July today, everything closed)...
So far: 1. amitryptiline was the first one. Got off that quickly though. Worthless. 2. Valproic acid was second. Only stayed with it for a couple of weeks. Side effects sucked. 3. Gabapentin with a 6...
