Mikey's girl, I am glad you are coping so well with your crico now using natural means, but feel bad that you are still suffering with it. I know that when we are desperate we do what we have to do....
Merinda (Moderator), you are right. A drug that may be terrible for one person may be a life saver for others. I am just going through a lot right now, and in a lot of pain with the crico spasm,...
Merrida, it is now a well-established fact that if one has been on Klonopin long-term, and then for whatever reasons, improved symptoms, or life choice decides to come off of it----it is one of the...
Scaredy Cat: You stated in a recent post: "I have not heard of this hurting anyone, or causing anything more than annoyance and/or anxiety..." Do you have cricopharyngeal spasms yourself? I'm just...
MikeysGrrrl, how long were you on the clonazepam or Klonopin? It sounds as if you got off it by default and early enough, which I think is a good thing. I hope you are doing much better by now. It's...
I am in the same boat: the neighbor woman who lives in the apartment below me smokes, and I've been putting up with this for over 10 years. I am very sensitive to smoke, and I wonder how much this is...
PS. You have the pop-up headaches. What a privilege, you have breaks in between (just kidding of course). Sounds like you are on the merry-go-round. Have fun while it lasts....
Gator: I very much enjoy your posts because your writing style is so ---I don't want to say "entertaining" on a serious site such as this. But we all know how much it helps to lighten the load a bit...
Scottio: I don't think "stress" is a causative factor at all in your headache, though now you are certainly under significant stress dealing with this pressure headache. Is it still daily? You don't...
Yes, it's a reasonable request of a headache specialist, you are certainly not the only one. They deal with this commonly, and you have every right to take a short leave of absence---so you can...
stripey said... I tried fentanyl and butrans patches for joint/nerve pain caused by side effects from Humira I took for a bad Crohn's flare and whilst they worked well with the pain they didn't...
Yes, I understand it is more of an abortive. But I was hoping for alternative abortives for those of us taking heavy-duty narcs for pain control. I only others I can come up with for my chronic pain...
Sunnie1133, I just had a question for you: I do and have had ear sounds on the opposite side of the headache for years now (like a purring sound), whereas I can hear my pulse strongly on the side of...
PALady, all the best to you. I was so sorry to hear about your knee, but send positive wishes your way, and I'll send up one for you today, too! For now, take it one day at a time, and remember you...
Has anyone here heard of the pipline drug "Tezampanel", a glutamate blocker, I believe, as hopefully it will helpful in treating head pain, for those who can't take other types of pain medicine? ...
Nunissan, I would like to know how bad the withdrawal is, coming off of the Suboxone. Is it similar to that of other narcotic medications, like oxycontin or oxycodone? Or is it a protracted...
Hey "Biddo"--- I wish you could be a little more specific on the type and quality of headache you had, the level of pain relief that was achieved via the radiofrequency nerve ablation, when you had...
tracyusa1 , yes, I am one of those headache sufferers for whom my head pain was made worse, after being put on Topomax a few years ago. I have had constant daily headache, anyway, but the Topomax...
Hey yo' Painface! How's life across the pond in the beautiful land (so I've heard) of Emerald. (Nothing like starting with a bit of roughly attempted humour for one who suffers with daily pain,...
Hey Sirrius: I couldn't help but stop and reply to your entry, because I had lived with a low grade, constant left sided headache for 25 years. (It averaged about a 3 or 4 on the 1-10 pain scale,...
