Hey i'v got an appointment with my consultant on the 16th and was wondering what's worked for you? I was diagnosed about 6 months ago but have been trying different treatments and meds for the last 5 years... My worst symptoms are chronic cluster/migraine headaches, general muscle pain particularly my clave muscles and my neck, waking up just as tired or more tired that when I woke up, concentration problems and not being able to think or speak properly and I also have a constant thirst (I can easily drink 10-12 litres of water/juice a day)
So far I have tryed;
co-codamol 30-500 , diclofenac, ibuprofen, paracetamol, and am using at the moment
Tamadol 200sr 2times a day, Tramadol 50mg upto 4times a day, Paracetamol and ibuprofen as required, Gabapentin 1200mg 3 times a day, duloxitine 60mg daily, Maxalt® upto 3 times a week, Mebeverine 3times a day.
I have been on this mix of meds for about 3-4 months now and things have improved a little but I am really scared im loosing my mind because I cant think properly and because I have daily headaches and always feel tired it is affecting my work (I have already taken a desk job to accommodate my health)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and also has anyone tried oxygen for their headaches iv heard that it can help? and has anyone found a better triptan then Maxalt?
Thanks
