Hi all,
First of all, thank you for all the welcomes I received, feeling better already...especially as I'm going trough a pain-free phase at the moment.
I've just had my first ever visit to a neurologist, and he says that when the monster wakes again he'd like me to try either lithium or prednisone. I'll try anything, but I'm concerned about side effects. Could you fill me in?
BTW: I've been a episodic sufferer for some 11 years. So far I've tried propanolol (zilch), pizotifen (some reduction), amytriptyline ( some effects, but made me a zombie) and Imigran tablets ( work sometimes ). Most of the time I just bang my head against any convenient wall.
Love to all,
Odilon
