Been a while since I posted, due to working like an idiot, and trying to take care of Patty, but the news isn't good.
The Topamax started to work, we had about 2 1/2 good days with almost no pain, then the bottom fell out. Patty caught a virus going around, and for a day or so was vomitting. That's not good with CH's. She was just getting over that when she fell down about 5 or 6 steps in our house, and banged herself (head included) really bad. She just started getting over that when it came time for her period. That knocked her down really bad, like always. She was just getting over that, when for reasons we don't know, her entire body aches. It seems like when you have something else, it makes the CH's much worse.
I have lost every bit of sense of humor that I have had about this. I feel so numb. Patty is going nuts, once again living from pain shot to pain shot. I guess it may never end. Maybe it's our destiny to live miserable lives with not an ounce of happiness. That sucks.
