I am so worried about my husband and the frequent use of demerol. I think he is CONVINCED that it is the only thing that will help. I try to convince him to try other things (like imitrex injectable) and he is very close minded about the things that he may have already tried in a different form (pill form). I get so frustrated dealing with him on this. He did try the cayenne pepper but I am not sure if it was mixed right or how much he used. There are so many things to consider and after he has tried it that is it. His patience on these headaches are like mine with him at the end... I feel for him but don't really know how to help. The people that prescribed the demerol was a partner in the headache clinic. Now that it did not work they may put him back in the hospital or try either the riziotomy or gamma knife. I am so worried. If anyone has any info on either of these two procedures would you please let me know I would be very grateful to receive anything.
Love to you all. I spend the morning getting caught up on reading post. I miss you guys.
Love
Cheryl
