Post by eddie on Aug 25th, 2004, 3:21am
i have been thru hell the neruo i went to a while back
put me on effexor that bastard seemed such an ass
so i read info got my shit together and went to my reg
doctor and told him that SOB my words exactly
almost killed me with that shit you dont use that
on somebody with head injury that happened yrs ago
but to make my point my gp listen to me so well
i had my info and has helped me
verapimil 240 to 480 mg per day
prednisone 3x a day with taper
imitrex injections as needed only 2 in 24 hrs
o2 of course
xanax 1mg 2 times per day as needed!!!
tenormin 25mg 1 per day already had this
ear drops for pain at times for earache of course
melintonin 3 at bed time
coq 10 3  1st thing in the morning good for the heart
B50 COMPLEX 2 OR 3 per day
magnisum 4 per day
water all day
my GP said if this dont work let him know
i have been chronic for too long this happens
20yrs every yr and last 10 to 12 months
this time im going on 368 days but since
i have started this regiment i can tell
the results it has helped i hadnt obtain my
imitrex yet they had to order it never used it

Woow

Talk about a bad cycle,
I cant help you with the meds, i'm pretty new at this but eardrops for pain? I dont think that will help!

Anyway, i hope you get your PF time.

Many PFDAN.

i just was venting but i have the earachces along with
pain in my eye and above my eye i just the thing about
it i have had some good insurance along theway in
my life. i have just been diagnosed with this beast
of a bear im ok the only thing that cost so much is
imitrex but the rest not that much. i just was showing
how much i have armed myself. if i can get this tamed
im a good electrictrician i can make some pretty good
moneyon the side or however the point i was trying
to make is does it sound like im taking the right
measures and dont trust all neruos or to try and inform
yourself my GP is what has helped me out but the ch
is not a game it is real i have found that verapamil
and prednisone has helped me alot and this site
has to i wish it was just an earache that has just
been a bonus and it sucks the earaches will stop
but THE CH WONT DIE. but does it sound like i have
got alot of ammo or the right stuff to help.
and THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR INPUT. im tuff and
doing everything to win my next step is alternitive
but im going to get thru this thanks and pfdan to
all i mean that from my HEART no pitty for me just input
is what helps the flu is what gets the ear going. my
worst pain is both of these together talk about  a
BEAR i have been one. i have a good wife of almost 3yrs
i have had kip 8 and 10 most of this past yr everyday
but since i started these meds its to a 5 or 6  so i know
im getting somewhere THANKS TO THE INFO HERE
and good people

In my opinion the O2 is the most important thing on your list.  make sure you are properly equiped and using it timely and correctly.  I prefer a non-rebreather mask with reservoir bag, bubbler (humidifier), and 100% O2 at about 12 LPM.  I have also heard that cooling the O2 helps but haven't tried it (put the hose through an ice chest??).

just want to know if this sounds like it would
break being chronic beast it seems im having
less attacks everyday but atleast 5 to 8 a day
they range k3 to k5 and still hit at k8 and k10

i can think of or read about. TREX DOES HELP
it is not as bad. but who knows but the beast
itself and yourself. but this site has helped me
