Title: Gave my GP a kick up the butt
Post by Shaz on Oct 6^th, 2005, 12:29pm

Well, you lot out there. Thanks so much for the support and advice you have given me.

Had a nightmare one yesterday evening and ended up with one very frightened partner and a trip to Casualty. Worst he has seen from me, so if he comes home again tonight I will know if hes gonna hand around [smiley=huh.gif] Spent so long in casualty while they messed around with obs and blood pressure etc., so had started to abort before the doctor saw me and decided to set up the oxygen. Gave me the chance to have a practice with it though. Anyway good news, though, I dragged myself to GP this morning and let him know I really had had enough. Suddenly the imigran injections appeared, plus a huge dosage of diazapam to turn me into a zombie for a few days. He has also agreed to refer me to the neurologist. Thanks Helen :-*

Had another one at lunch time today, but luckily not so bad, but gonna go and curl up under the duvet again now. (Knackered). You are all fab and are helping me so much

Shaz xxxxx

Congrats on FINALLY getting some decent meds and a referral to a neurologist. Good luck, and PFDAN's,

A little bit of information goes a long way...

Shaz, really pleased to hear your onto it with the docs. I hope the neuro has an idea of what ch's are!! Go in there armed girl !! (Some neuro's are of the missinformed 'opinion' that women don't get cluster headaches - so tell em it aint so! Very loudly if you have to - my experience!)

Sorry you're still getting hit - wishing you pf time real soon,

Kate
