Title: I'm hit !! Ridiculous, INSANE PAIN !! Post by UN solved on Aug 22nd, 2007, 8:18pm I'm hit !! So, I guess the Histamine aint doin' jack$hit ! The Decadron and DHE has worn off. If anyone here at this hospital calls that a 'headache', so help me I'll make em' swallow their teeth !! Mistake = laid down and fell asleep. Woke up with a pizzed off BEAST !! I freaked, rolling around on the bathroom floor in the dark, pressing as hard as I could on my eye socket, screaming and hyperventalating !! ( I still can't believe that my eye is in one piece ). The nurse did come in quickly and gave me a subQ injection ..... BUT IT WASN'T IMITREX, and I didn't know it. The INSANE PAIN lasted for over an hour. I can't believe they made me go through that. I'm madder than hell !! Was it a mistake or did they give me that other mystery medicine on purpose ? I will find out !! Some heads are gonna roll for this one !! It's over now ... but it was definately a BIG 10 !! Glad to be in one piece ... survived yet another full blown loooong attack !! PI$$ED OFF UNSOLVED Sorry for the rant ... I'm through now ! :'( |

Title: Re: I'm hit !! Ridiculous, INSANE PAIN !! Post by UN solved on Aug 22nd, 2007, 8:35pm The weekend neuro ordered up DHE and stopped the Imitrex. I finished the DHE yesterday but the Imitrex was never re-ordered for me to have. The neuro I saw this week never even knew the Imitrex was stopped. He was called and it is re-ordered now ( A little bit late!). I'm still going over him to my main neuro and make sure that NEVER happens again. I don't give a crap if I'm doing DHE or not, if I need Imitrex - I NEED IT !! The consequences of NOT getting it are greater than taking it !! UNsolved BTW, 125mg of Demerol IV didn't touch the pain !! SMALL HOURS - HOLOCAUST !! Current Mood = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjFL0Ex-1CY |

Title: Re: I'm hit !! Ridiculous, INSANE PAIN !! Post by cash5542 on Aug 22nd, 2007, 10:16pm The very first time Lisa went to the ER for head pain that we didn't know was CH, (thought it was migraines) they gave her iv reglan. This is an anti nausea med and only works with iv for head pain. She actually returned to the ER at 6am the next day morning and 6pm that night and 6 am the following morning, ect Each time they gave her reglan and within 10 min. pain was gone and she was ready to leave PF. We had no clue this was CH but in hind sight it's pretty clear now, very clockwork, short unbearable, different than any migraines either of us have had. We must have checked in and out of the ER 6 times before they kept her and put her on depekote IV for 24 hrs. I'm not sure if you got reglan but if you did, it's not as off bases as it may appear, at least it wasn't for Lisa. I hope you start feeling better soon and get out of that hospital!!! |

WRONG !!!!! NEVER take Imitrex when on DHE! DHE is a major vaso (sp?) constrictor. It constricts, something like 40%. Imitrex is not as big a constrictor, more like in the 20% range. If you take the Imitrex on top of the DHE, you are talking in the range of 60% constriction, which equals MAJOR chance of a heart attack! I know we all think of death as a relief from the pain, but we all know that is NOT the way to go. So, unfortunately, deal with the pain, and avoid the heart attack. Why am I so familiar with this? Because I took Imitrex while on the DHE, and guess what? HEART ATTACK number two! It was when I went to Norway, to the headache symposium, that the doctor explained why I had the heart attack. Now, what about O2? If it has not worked for you in the past, try it again, but with the following change: Try it at 25 LPM. Many of us have discovered that the higher flow rate makes a world of difference. Try it, you might LIKE it!! Good luck, buddy! Chuck |

Title: Re: I'm hit !! Ridiculous, INSANE PAIN !! Post by UN solved on Aug 23rd, 2007, 6:46am Chuck, I appreciate your concern for me, but I've done as much DHE (and Imitrex) as anyone has. I've done them within 3 - 4 hours of each other many times without any problems (Except for a slightly elevated BP) The consequences of NOT getting the 'insane pain' to stop in a timely manner, could mean death also (suicide). Hey, they don't call them 'suicide headaches' for nothing !! I sure wouldn't want to live with all that pain day in and day out because of what might kill me! Sorry you had suffered from heart attacks in the past though bro. That really sucks. The O2, I'm sick of trying. I've tried it and tried it and tried it, and it just won't stop an attack for me. Imitrex is my only real help. PF Wishes All ... I'm headed to surgery now !! UNsolved |

Title: Re: I'm hit !! Ridiculous, INSANE PAIN !! Post by Kevin_M on Aug 23rd, 2007, 7:14am Discuss with staff good preparedness plan for this situation, and backup, limited options and all, which you both agree on. CH can put you beyond coping limits ever before considered with those 10s. Best of luck |

I’m wishing you have an uneventful surgery today! I don’t use the trex any more (rebounds) and have 1 box left. If you want it let me know and I will add it to your stockpile. The lithium seems to be working. I don’t know why I didn’t try it before; I just didn’t think any thing would work because nothing so far has. I’ll have to wait and see. This is the first prevent that has made me pain free and hopefully it will continue to work. I feel like I’m getting good sleep the past few days and I actually dreamed last night. Amazing! Sorry to hear you got hit so badly in the hospital. I hope for your sake they can manage to get there shit straight! I thought you couldn’t do trex and DHE at the same time? You don’t want the third member to fall off; you need something to fight the nurses with. I do understand why they call these things suicide eye ball attacks, and all you can do is try to keep the will to carry on. It’s a novel idea that’s easy to say and hard to practice in extreme pain. Hang in there bro! You win the war but the F’r keeps crawling off the battle field to fight again and again. What a catch 22 war we are in with the beast. [smiley=pokeeye.gif] Prayers for you my friend and a pain free future too! Roland. |

Title: Re: I'm hit !! Ridiculous, INSANE PAIN !! Post by Ghost on Aug 23rd, 2007, 9:07am PLEASE listen to Chuck on this I am not as bad off as he is but not being able to do trex also and getting big hits daily is bad mojo, but heart exploding is even worse. None of us want to hear bad news about anyone here. As bad as it gets (and it do get bad) it does end even if only tempory. max flow will help aided with ice works some for me. Mike |

I assume you didn't throw up then....... :-X It's almost like you need to have the Corleones as a "patient advocate" when you are in the hospital anymore. The idea of someday being incapacitated and not having freind or family advocating for one's care in the hospital environment is very scary. Get better! Scott |

Title: Re: I'm hit !! Ridiculous, INSANE PAIN !! Post by Ray on Aug 23rd, 2007, 11:31am The anti emetic might have been phenergan, visteril, or compazine. Mike, I really feel for you! I was in the psych ward of a local hospital early in June and had similar experiences that I summarized on this board. Sending you all of my best prayers, and believe me, I know how to pray. It sucks to be in that helpless position, having all the medical and drugs available, and they whiffed it big time. When you have the chance, not only speak with the doctor(s) in charge, but speak with the nurse supervisor. They are the ones who are responsible for the minute to minute care. Blessings upon your head! Ray |

Title: Re: I'm hit !! Ridiculous, INSANE PAIN !! Post by Lizzie2 on Aug 23rd, 2007, 8:51pm My guess would be phenergan or compazine. Can't say for sure though... Phenergan's generic name is promethazine, and compazine is prochlorperazine. Antiemetics are commonly used for headaches, and while not a mainstream cluster abortive, would be a reasonable thing to try for an abortive if they didn't want you to have imitrex on top of DHE. I know how you feel about imitrex and DHE, but I'm more inclined to agree with Chuck... :-/ I'm sorry you were in so much pain. :( I see someone above suggested going to the nursing supervisor - not a bad idea, but it isn't nursing's fault for this med you received. Sounds like she went with the med ordered (again, I say not an unreasonable backup if they didn't want to give imitrex on top of DHE) - and didn't make a mistake or anything personally by giving you the wrong thing. This is something you're probably going to ultimately have to duke out with the docs. While I truly believe that nurses should be informed about all headache types, the docs are still the ones prescribing the meds! Hope the surgery went well!! Just be careful with all this stuff!! Wishing you PF days ahead!! Hugz, Carrie :) |
