my headaches

[meg321]

I have been seeing a Dr. at UCSF that specializes in headaches, especially migraines which is what he thinks I have.  I had to change my last appt and now I go in Aug 23rd for my injection.  Its called  a Greater Occipital Nerve injection and if this doesn't work the 3rd plan is botox injections.  The injection goes into the base of my skull while sitting in a chair....yikes, thats kinda scary.

My cardiologist ruled out Plan one, that is what I have been doing, my card. had to okay it first.  He didn't so we are going to plan 2, which is fine.

I like my Dr,. his name Is Dr.Peter Goadsby, he came here from England, as I remember. Here is his profile from UCSF , this should be interesting, after awhile you will be willing to try whatever might make a difference.

Hi Chris, I am so glad you found out it was the copaxone, I have had so much trouble with my meds, I could have died once.  And I am very careful but when you take so many its hard to keep track.  I finally have my pharmacist watching out for me.  And I am getting better about asking questions too.

I have had headaches all my adult life and I am hoping this works for me.

Thanks..meg

Meg,

I had terrible, terrible headaches not too long ago.  I finally figured out it was the Copaxone causing them.  I sure hope you find relief!  I know how unbearable they can be!  Good luck!!

Thanks Jen, you are a sweetheart.   Thats one of my problems, I finally started using Norco and I really want to get off of them and hopefully I will be able to do that.  They will replace them with preventitive meds instead.

Just a quick note sending you positive thoughts and energy!
