Title: WEIRD SYMPTOMS CHRONIC CH
Post by CHILDINSIDE on Feb 26^th, 2003, 10:33pm

:'( I DON'T GET TO SEE MY NEURO TILL LATE APRIL, AND I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. I HAVE ABOUT 4-7 DAYS REMISSION (IF I AM LUCKY) I GO AROUND WITH AN ALMOST CONSTANT RIGHT EYE DROOP (EVEN IF NOT IN IMMEDIATE PAIN). THE PAINS ON TOP OF MY HEAD FEEL LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN BOILING WATER ON TOP OF MY BRAIN, AND A STEEL BAR PERMENTLY IMPLANTED THROUGH MY HEAD, AND OUT MY EYE. I CAN BE GOING ALONG GREAT WHILE I AM IN A CYCLE, AND BOOMB OUT OF NO WHERE EYE DROOP, AND BRAIN PAIN. THE PAIN COMES IN AND OUT IN WAVES USUALLY STARTING AT ABOUT 10 TIMES A DAY IN THE BEGINING OF MY CYCLE, PROGRESSING UP TO 30 OR MORE A DAY OF PAINFUL WAVES. THE SHORTEST WAVE HAS BEEN ABOUT 35 SECONDS TO MY LONGEST PAIN OF 3 HOURS. I CAN TELL WHEN MY CYCLE IS ABOUT OVER, I WILL START GETTING KIND OF DREPESSED, AND THE PAIN IS CLOSER TOGETHER, AND LONGER LASTING. I HAVE BE ON IMITREX INJ. O2, PRENDISONE, MEDROL DOSE PACK, LIDOCANE NASAL SPRAY NOTHING HAS WORKED. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY MORE THAAT I HAVE NOT LISTED. MY FAMILY DR HAS PUT ME ON MEPRIGAM FOR THE MIGRAINS THAT I GET BETWEEN CYCLES. I DON'T TAKE THAT UNLESS IT IS AN APSOLUTE LAST RESORT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE ANYMORE. ARE THESE SYMPTOMS NORMAL FOR CCH. IF NOT WHAT DO I DO NEXT? IF THESE ARE QUOTE UN QUOTE NORMAL ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS. SOMETIMES I HONESTLY WANT TO DIE INSTEAD OF LIVE IN 24-7 PAIN. HELP!!!!!!!
