How are you Wendy? Hoping something has broken the migraine spell.

Take care

If I went to the ER they wouldn't do anything..If you have Kaiser insurance and you have a chronic pain problem..even intractable migraines they won't do anything..they send me to my PCP and normally I get an injection at her office.

As it is now..my hubby is giving me 3 Toradol injections at home..isn't working well at all though.

I have an appointment for a Dr. that is covering for mine..Honestly, I'm not feeling very hopeful because typically they don't want to prescribe something because you are not their patient. Praying, that something gets done.

I'm taking 30 mg of Nortriptyline..2 Trazdone..1 Benadryl..and still not sleep..Egads.

Love to you all..praying, that you are having a good day.

Greeneyes,

So sorry you're hurting so. Sad Have you checked to see if your current meds are making things worse? I'm just wondering - if you aren't sleeping that is going to make things worse too. I do wonder if you aren't having an interaction. I had one and it was the worst pain of my life (it was 2 anti-depressants that weren't playing nice).

Just hoping you feel better soon.

Wendy, I'm so worried about you. I hope you can get help from someone to stop this terrible pain you're in. I feel so bad for you. All my thoughts and prayers are with you, they really are. Alexis

Thank you again so much for your thoughtfulness.

The doctor that filled in for mine..told me to take four pills of the Trazadone..along with the 40mg of Nortriptline..take 1 of the Dilaudid a day.

They gave me an injection of Dilaudid which knocked the pain down to an 8 .


In pain still today..at a loss of what to do.

Greeneyes,

I know this might be a bad idea and others might yell at me, but take a short medication holiday (not the dilauded) or eliminate at least 1 of the antidepressants - I'd go with whichever is newest. I have a feeling you probably can't feel worse and see if it helps. Just holding you in my thoughts and prayers - it just sucks... Sad

I'm with Becky: a drug holiday - at this point - should be tried.
It's a hard thing to do but it often helps. At least, it helps to understand if there are drugs that worsen the situation rather than helping.

It's not easy, but from my own personal experience, it's worth. You need a good doctor's advice and help, but you can make it Smile

Take care

Wendy, I am sensitive to side effects. Trazadone gave me headaches when I tried it. I really hope something helps you soon.
Hugs,
No

Sad I am so sorry to hear that you have been suffering so terribly and I really hope that the covering neuro has sympathy for you and will take good caare fo you. I wish I could hold your hand. I will keep you in my prayers.

Try some relaxation techniques at least to focus on the relaxation. I know taht it really doesn't help much when you are in that much pain, but it will give you something to focus on.
