First of all… find a new
Doctor! No doctor should ever say that! I am hopeful that this is
not how the rest of my life is going to be. There is no way it can be
like this! I will commit suicide before I live the rest of my life in
pain.
I just went to a new neurologist. I
really like him already! He put me on a steroid to calm the nerves in my
spine that goes up through my head. He also agreed that me being on
Cymbalta should be helpful. He scheduled me for another MRI because my
headaches have gotten worse over the past couple of years and my mom had a
ruptured aneurysm a few years back. I am also going to physical therapy
to help all the tension in my neck and back. I think its helping but I
think it will take a lot of time because my muscles are so super weak!
There are people who have it worse then we
do but that doesn’t mean that we should have to accept a life like
this. Just because other people’s illnesses are not “invisible”
like our head pain doesn’t mean we don’t deserve treatment, answers
and care. Keep trying to find something. There has to be a cause
for the pain. Its just finding out what it is.

I didn't know so many people live like this everyday.
Is there any
hope, has anyone found help? I have been this way since 1988,
everyday, day in day out. I have days that are worse, I know when the
next barimetric pressure change will occur and throwing up isn't far
behind, I have days that are better, you know a 3 or a 4. I can't
imagine what life would be like without a headache. I just figure
that it is my cross to bear, like arthritis in the head. I am
allergic to aspirin, demeral just knocks me out but the headache is
still there. I can take a pain pill that takes the edge off, but
never takes the pain away. People ask me, how do you live like this,
I ask: how else am I suppose to live? Drugged, going from doctor to
doctor with no help? I have tried chiropractic, bio-feedback,
accupunture, I quit smoking, tried quitting white foods, no MSG,
etc... and nothing has ever helped, not even a little. Dr says I may
just need to decide that this is just the way things are going to be
and live with it.
I sure do sound like a sad sack, I'm really not. I figure if I can't
beat this, I'll live with it, I seldom miss work, I do volunteer work,
you know how it is..........
live everyday. There are so many other people in this world who have
a far worse road to hoe than I do. But doesn't anyone know how to
improve life as I know it?
Thanks in advance, for just reading all this junk, I wouldn't wish CHD
on my worse enemy, so I am so sorry for you, god bless you and keep
you safe.
