Jackie here is a message I posted on July 3rd to a fellow suffer named Dan. I feel sure it also applies to you. Take care and reamber your loving family.
Hey Dan I do know how you feel have been there since 1982. I know how depressing it is not being able to go on a
camping trip or just to go out and eat for fear of the headaches coming on. I know how family and friends must get
tired of hearing about another HA. I was chronic for about four years and then I tried a new combination of medacation
that worked completely for about two years. I was takeing lithium, verapamil, and when the Doctor added inderal they
went away. After about a month I got rid of lithium and theyn still did not return. They are still pretty much under
control except about two months ago they have been starting again. I hope they are not coming back they usually start
slow and get worse. Do not give up there is a Doctor I found through this sight who has found some new medication
that may be of some value, here is his phone number 440-365-4646. I was going to consider surgery myself before the
Meds worked. I know what worked for me may not work for you but hang in there pal one day at a time.
