Hi Everyone I just had to tell someone about[b] the horrible headache day that I was having today. Sorry this is gonna be long! [3] I dragged myself to school this morning even though I really...
a day or two. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to stop a migraine with 1 or 2 shots of DHE subQ which is the abortive medication that I'm on. My doctor seems to think this will work even though...
50% of the time which sucks but it's better than nothing. I have a quick question though--- Have any of you have have used DHE found it to be helpful if you already have a full blown headache when...
Jenn ...
SOOOO glad that works for ya, I've always used head on along with my other migraine treatments, but I'm not really sure that it does much for the pain, but the icy warm feeling kind of makes me think...
My doctor told me that with topamax in the beginning you sometimes have to up it a few times, but eventually you get to a level where it's good for your body and you'll stop getting them and you...
purplegdaisy- I'm so sorry that you are having such a rough time. I totally feel your pain, although my headaches have been pretty good (knock on wood) lately, I was getting them 3-4 times a week...
Ben, Okay so you have me totally freaked out now. I found one of my old pieces of paper work from Thomas Jefferson that he signed and his last name is Gregg.. too bad I can't make out the first name....
Yeah I'm not a big fan of psychiatrists either... but I found that I kind of liked Dr. Tramuta at JHC, he seemed like I very nice guy. The other guy you saw prescribed you THC? Thats crazy! My Mom...
Ashley, it's soo exciting that your pain level is down that low! I'm really sorry if I scared you before, I'm so glad that they are able to help you a TJ and that they doctors you are seeing are very...
binaceja-- Did you see a doctor after that occured? Obviously I'm not a doctor or anything, but most of the things you said are signs of a minor stroke, I would look into that if I were you....
My best advice for you would be to try to eliminate some of the stress in your life in whatever way that you can. I know that although stress isn't an actual reason I get migraines, when I am...
I think that I speak for most migraine suffers when I say that we are usually willing to try anything as long as it is safe, I know that I am, but when that doesn't work we go back to doctors and...
I'm so glad that "headache dectective" was able to "cure" his and his son's headaches, but that is not going to be the cure all for everyone, if it was I'm pretty sure no one would have migraines....
I agree totally with what korbnep has to say, every person is different and just about any headache drug out there can cause rebounds. For some people narcotics are the only reason that they can...
I agree with tysmyboo I would ask your neurologist to look into a stroke, obviously it wasn't a really bad one but some of the main signs are numbness and tingling and not being able to find the...
There is a name for problems with migraines related to CSF pressure, its something weird like pseduotumor cerebri. It's some kind of problem where your body thinks you have a tumor and produces more...
I'm wondering what your source is on Imitrex not working being very rare? I get chronic migraines and imitrex does not work for me at all.. None of the imitrex, pills, nasal spray, nor injection. I...
I hope he's gone too, and that no one ever has to deal with him again.. I was thinking about it and I think he was in training which I guess is what a resident is., but I'm not sure what his actual...
Oh I forgot to add, I had looked up Dr. Gregg myself on their website and never found him, I thought for a while that maybe it was just a bad dream and really they were going to help me, until I got...
I'm pretty sure that Gregg is still there, I think he might be a resident.. which could be the reason he wasn't the smartest guy in the world, but when I was refered there thats who was given to me....
I saw Dr. Gregg-- he was my "normal" doc my attending was silberstien and I spoke with him many many time and everytime it was the same thing, "I agree with the plan Dr. Gregg has put in place." It...
I was given tylenol 3 when I was little when I had mono because my tonsils were so swollen I couldn't eat anything because it hurt so much. Migraines are also a lot of pain, so I would imagine it...
Korbnep- I'm so glad that you had a positive experience at Thomas Jefferson and I am by no means saying that they do no help anyone. The person who started this thread was asking for opinions and...
I went to Thomas Jefferson headache center and I have absolutely nothing good to say about them. The first plan that they had for me didn't work for me so they gave up. I have heard this from many...
I am new to this forum, but not new to migraines, I have been getting them for almost three years. My biggest question is does anyone get them the way that I do. I have a constant tension type...
I know this is an older thread, but I saw it and had to comment. I finally found someone who ended up with headaches because of topamax! Both my Doctor at Thomas Jefferson Headache Center and my...
I get dizzy/lightheaded with my migraines, actually when I first started getting migraines that was my worst complaint! I was falling down and passing out because of it. I've been tested up down...
Good luck with Thomas Jefferson... they give up on ya if they aren't sucessful.....
