Title: A Bad Day
Post by UN_SOLVED on Aug 14^th, 2004, 11:34pm

I think maybe the Clomid is actually helping reduce the frequency of the headaches. I've had far fewer attacks in the past 20 days. But, it's still no miracle drug for me !

Last night (all through the night) and early today ... it got 'out of hand'. I used LOTS of Trex !! (Don't even ask how much). For the first time ever ... in all these years ... an Imitrex injection failed to help on my last headache. It lasted about 45 minutes after the injection. :'( People ... that scares the sh*t out of me ! If Imitrex stops working ... i'm basically ~~screwed~~ doomed.

I called the answering service of my neuro but couldn't get a call back. :-/
I ended up going to the ER (because frankly, I'm pushing the limits on the Trex abuse, and i'm tired of the PAIN. The doc in the ER knew me. I'd seen him before. He asked ... "What can I do for you ? " ... told him what I wanted .. and boom ... 125 mg of Solu Medrol IV, 100 mg of Demerol IV (which didn't help), and a script for a Medrol Dose Pack...

Here we go again with the steriods. I've only been off of them for 3 weeks.

CH SUX !!

I know that fear all too well. After having no abortives for years and just riding out attacks, I was blessed to learn a year ago that Trex works for me whereas it had never worked for me in the past. Sometimes it doesn't always work, and I still have to ride out a few of the bastards, but now I am facing the possibility of having to give up Trex due to panic disorder. Hang tough bro, we're all in this together - no matter how shitty it gets.

Peace,
Carl D

Damn bub. Don't know what to say. I know it sux to go right back on the steroids. Hopefully your neuro will be able to help.

I wonder if it's something about this weekend. I spend all day yesterday going from one attack to the next and have been hit hard several times today. Others have been hit pretty hard this weekend, too.

Add my prayers and vibes for you to the list. Hang in there, man.

Damn Michael, I am so sorry. You are in my thoughts and maybe it was only a one time thing. There have been days when trex doesd and doesn;t work for me. I think that is why I wait so long to take it unless I have to , cause if it is going to be a wasted dose, I;d hate to use it on a K5.

PF Wishes, hopes dream, energy, vibes.... and everything that I can put out there in the universe for you.

Michael,

Sorry to hear. I've used lots of trex too, not as much as you but there has been a time or two that it didn't work. Very rare but it has happened. Glad the Clomid helps some, hope things change and you find a way through this. Hang in and sending VIBES to ya.

Gator is on to something I do believe. Bad weekend for so many either from the beast or the raw emotions that come along with damn illness.

Mike I'm sending out major vibes to you Bro!
