Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
Wake me up when September ends

The neuro visit went ok. Thanks to all the peeps here and all the info available here, I could actually speak for myself.
I specificially asked the neuro if I had a non-specific trigiminal autonomous neuralgia or some other type of headache.
He said it is either CH or SUNCT, but he can't determine which right now because my doc & I added Indocin. (If he had told me his plan, I wouldn't have screwed it up.)
So, I will be using 600 mg neurontin a day (not 900 mg which was too much for me), and trying Verapamil, again, with good instructions on escalation.
He said to try to use Indomethacin during the high cycles and see if I can go without it during the low cycles. He would like me to not use kudzu, but I need to look up the interactions before I decide that.
And I went to members services and requested a copy of my initial visit and follow up, which I should have done right aftre the first visit.

ps Went to the pharmacy, & it's temporarily out of verapamil.
nothing bad happened today, but nothing went smoothly.

So yesterday I skipped the indocin and kudzu, and haven't started the verapamil. I was an angry mess this morning. My husband asked me to please take my indocin & kudzu.

When I am an angry mess my wife hands me my fly rod and points to the door. Sometimes alone is best for me. and for those around me.
