I went to the anesthesiologist today and he said that basically he is
not optomistic about my condition (post-meningitis headache) and
being able to help me -- he said that "the odds are against me" for
accupuncture or anything else working for the pain. I find that hard
to believe since there are cagillions of pain killers out there!!!!!

He also said Botox would not work since it is a treatment used for
trigger points and since mine is related to a CNS infection it
wouldn't do anything for my pain. This was something that I have
already been thinking and he basically confirmed it. He pointed me
back to my dr. (who is "world renowned") but the problem is I don't
get the feeling he's using his ability to do all he can...maybe he is
and I just do see it.

The bottom line is that the dr.s are telling me they are "giving up
on me" that "nothing will work" and that "the only hope is keep
trying meds to see IF something works" -- somehow I just can't accept
this.

There MUST be something they can do to help me with the ongoing daily
constant pain.

Any insight you have would be appreciated.
