Hello Family,
For the last week and a half, since I returned from my trip, I am having pains in the right temple almost constantly. I am taking either Imitrex or Maxalt, and sucking my H tank dry of O2. Not getting any extended relief. I go to my neuro this thursday. FIrst time I will of seen him since March when these started. Everyday, every night I am having them. They don't seem to quit just vary in intensity. Last night went out to supper and got an 8. Thought I was going to go crazy before I could get out of there. THese 3 & 4's are making me so nervous after this long. Plus now, I am getting woke up at 3:30 in the morning the last 2 days and cannot get any more sleep. My neck muscles are so sore but muscle relaxers are helping that. Last night my heart was beating so hard, It really scared me. That is how my Mother and Father died of way before their timewas with heart problems. Guess I am afraid the doctor will offer me no new help. Then what?? I am only taking the pills 3 times a day. Using the ice too. Anyone got anymore ideas for me. I am getting VERY WEARY!!!!! I'd appreciate any emails from my friends. Thanks !
