Oh my Gosh...I read ur blog and though u were me...however my headaches did not start at 12. They began 9 yrs ago and are very simalr to yours. I was diagnosed with severe chronic migraines and have been given every maintenance drug such as Topomax, Neurotin, Depokot, etc and also every abortive therapy on the market....immitrex...frova...injections..relepex...etc...NOTHING WORKED. I continued to tell the 6th neuologist now it was not migraines...diagnosis have chronic daily headaches, tension headaches, and the last diagnosis was that I needed to see a psychiatrist. HA! Please dont't let them tell you are Crazy. Even though at times you feel that way. It is not all in your head, even though actually it is...hee hee. Sure you are depressed. You way up with a freakin' headache every day with zero quality of life. Many of times I feel life just finding a monkey to operate on my brain. Other issues I have....Thyroid, anemia, fibromyalgia, MVP, TMJ, restless leg, sleep apnea, and presently being tested for lupus. So, I feel like a lemon, I have also have had numerouse MRI's, Cat scans, and a variety of tests and Injections. I found it odd that your vertebrae was off center because mine is as well....have you tried a chiroprctor?
I did for a while and it helped take the pressure off my head. Find one in your town that uses machines and NOT their hands....totally different. Well, I wish you well. I totally understand ur pain. Sometimes it just helps to have it validated. My hope for you and you probably totally get this...you wake up tomorrow without a headache. Katie
Dear Friend,
There is nothing to worry about, but i would suggest you to have 2 consultations done.
One should pertain to a proper second opinion, for the confirmation of the medicines and treatment also. Also there is a need to do a Re-MRI so as to confirm the presence or growth of
Second one is pertaining to, taking an opinion from a good councilor, who can assess the situation from another aspect and will be able to guide you in a better way.
Beside this i don't have much option to give you as i have not seen or examined you physically and hence it would be difficult for me to give you the perfect medicines presently.
Please discuss, for further opinion.
Regards
