Update on my Dr. appt for Tingling etc.

January 30, 2008

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.
