Re: Dealing with migraines

Tawny and group;

Awe I am so happy humira is working for you.. Thanks a lot Tawny..

I hope I can get answers about my headaches also.. I had this

doctor for about 2 years now... The pain pills I mentioned I can

take is to addictive according to my doctor.. I taken pain meds for

many years and quit cold turkey every time..

I took morphine for a year from my last rhuemy and quit it myself..

I wasn't addicted to it.. I just needed it for pain.. I know a lot

of meds you can't quit cold turkey like prednisone.. I know better..

My doctor hasnt mentioned any injections for my headaches.. It took

him 6 months to give me the lortabs.. He took exrays and test

first to rule out other things.. He said it was sinuss at first and

gave me antibiotics.. I knew better but I had to go along with him..

Than he gave me migrain pain pill whitch barely helped...

I keep coming in his office with my head hung down in excruciating

pain and last time he had me take the sleep study over again.. I

said ok but I know its not that I had headaches to long... So I went

for the sleep study now I am waiting to see what he says next.

I havent got the voltaren gel yet and I hope it helps my back and

shoulders and neck.. The bengay helps a lot so I am sure the

voltaren will be even better..

I have a friend in Australia.. THey have free medical there. Wish

we had it here. THey have free medical in the Uk also.. and

Canada.. Wonder what is wrong with the USA no medical for so many

people.

gentle hugs
