Avoiding headaches -- need advice pls?

[Guest guest]

Well, this is it. I just took my very last Fioricet (not by choice!). I have the info on symptom alleviation, but I don't want to have to

alleviate them; I want to avoid them altogether!

To say I am frightened to death is an understatement! I hate those

pounding, excruciating Chiari headaches with a passion, and I do not

want another one!! I've already done my gripe session about the docs

not providing me with the meds that curtial them, so I'll spare you

another round, but I am still ticked!! (That's being polite!)

Does anyone have any tips for avoiding those bloody things?? I have

done the ER rounds with them, too many times to count. (Of course, I

have hospital-hopped as well!) But they are all the same -- they treat

me like dirt, like the veritable scum of the earth, assuming I am a

druggie! I can't even tell you what all they've put me through -- it

would be a novel!!

HELP?!

I am on 2000mg Neurontin a day and it does help. The way the doc explained it to

me when he put me onto it was that it helped as a pain inhibitor and also helped

with any other pain meds you were taking.

Between the Neurontin and the morphine sulphate and Fiorinal when I get break

through pain which is quite often I manage to get through the days mostly.

I am on a c pac machine at night and it doew help.
