Re: Update on my Dr. appt for Tingling etc.

January 31, 2008

Well It's good that you are going to live, Angie. It's also good that all your

vitals are where they should be. I'm sorry you are in such pain, first from the

fall and then the migraine. I'm glad that the tingling wasn't something more

serious. When my arms and hands were tingling and then wouldn't hold onto

anything and I kept dropping things (kind of redundant I know) I had 2 ruptured

discs in my cervical spine, c1 and c2 and I had to have an operation to correct

it. I'm glad you're not having to go that route.

Imitrex made all my bodily systems go hyper and drove me crazy (didn't have

far to go). It was almost as bad as the migraine, but not quite. I used to

take it in the shot form when it was first introduced. It would get rid of the

migraine quickly, but left me with my adrenalin and everything else pumping.

I hope you are better soon.

BP and other vitals were good.

Dr. determined it is myofacial pain. She located about a dozen " trigger points " .

She said the migraine and/or Imitrex could have triggered the episode. Some of

the trigger points were also impact points from the fall; so the fall may have

been the initial trigger. She advised not taking the Imitrex unless I really

must; and put me on Soma; to be taken for a while and then as needed.

Soma is what the gp put me on after the fall, but I'd stopped taking it

(samples) right before the migraine started. As for what is triggering the

migraines, dunno. I was going to ask my gp for something different from the

Imitrex anyway because it makes me feel so weird.

So looks like I'm gonna live. Just more pains to deal with.

I just realized that if I get your message on the other site it comes through on

larger print so I'll do it that way next time. Yay I could see it.
