Title: Back from MHNI
Post by UnsolvedEquation on Sep 6^th, 2003, 6:20pm

Well...I made it back from my second trip to MHNI and Chelsea hospital. They gave me a 5 day treatment of DHE IV ( @ .5 mg ) and then I had a "Facet Nerve Block". (My neck still hurts) They said this block is temporary ( like the Occipital blocks i've had ). I have to call them on Monday to let them know how I am doing an set up my next appoinment. I'm still going to have the RF ( Radio Frequency ) procedure very soon. Some of you have asked about RF and it's side effects...well...I asked ALOT of questions while I was there...if you'd like more information...send me an e-mail and I'll fill you in on the details. One important detail > Dr. Saper ( The founder of MHNI ) says that RF will stop my clusters for 6 - 48 months .... COOL :) ;D ;D Thanks for the vibes and I"M SURE GLAD TO BE HOME !!
PS. I was the only one there with CH !!

I see what your sayin' ... but I guess nothin's ever really guarenteed ... except that your gonna die someday ! :o
Besides...what else am I gonna do...sit here and have multiple MASSIVE headaches everyday for the rest of my life without doing what I can to stop it? No thanks ! If I don't continue to try and stop them...I probably would die...and I'd rather go out with a fight !! >:(
12 years epesodic and another 3 years chronic.
