Staying human is damned hard when the head pain flairs. If the pain is
mild I generally muddle through. If its moderate or worse I try to
avoid contact with people. Sometimes no matter how hard I try I get
irritable and short tempered.

Right now I'm on four preventative (three anti depressants and a beta
blocker) and have had trigger point injections. Most days I only need a
dose of Fiorinal or Excedrin to get rid of morning headache. All the
treamts and meds have helped noticeably but my personal opinion is that
with all that is available via drugs and other treatments I should be
pain free or very nearly so. THere is no reason why I should have to
live with it.

~~~Beware of those with one size fits all mentality. One size never has
and never will fit all possible situations. The mindset is the last
refuge of the lazy and the incompetent~~~
