I went back to the doctor yesterday for my month long migraine and we talked about a lot of different options. He said the pain management clinic was really into pushing more drugs and they are mostly narcotic drugs. I don't really want to go that route, especially since I can't just stop working. We talked about accupuncture-hey, I have some pins and needles around here :0 and botox (make me look 25 again).
But, for now, he had me increase the crazy pills I take already. They are really anti-depressants that supposedly work on migraines. I'm not so sure. I think they are just another way of appeasing me until I can't take it anymore and come back for another appointment. I will give almost anything a try.
i'm like you what ever works without drugs
ReplyDeleteI have these same kind of crazy migraines..it has been eight years of them at this intensity...my neurologist put me on this cocktail and it helps alot but I still have them pretty bad: Magnesium, B2, CoQ10, diclofinac, amytriptilene, and atenelol all really for the migraines. Good luck with what they gave you and if it is a miracle cure, please share!
