    Oh gosh Nancy, I got or get so mixed up trying to figure out what kind of head pain I was having that I just stopped.

     

    I just noticed the print is rather large here. I am at my daughter's, Texas, visiting for a couple weeks so I don't want to mess with any of her settings.

     

    Okay, back to this head pain stuff. I realize that some need to have a name put on them but do all of them need to be labeled or identified so exactley? The reason I was asking is I know at one time my neuro said she thought I had a certain kind and when I was in her office she said well that doesn't sound like da da da. That sounds like da da da. Then my sinus doc said I had another kind which the neuro never diagnosed me with. She wrote that down and said she would speak with my ERN doc.

     

    I just know that I have pain. It seems to be more of a sick feeling now before the pain. Well, not always, I guess. It is so hard to say. I know that I do not have the episodes like I did 5 years ago because of all the meds I am on. I have had a few very serious ones or I still do get pretty bad but nothing and I am thanking the all mighty, the drug makers, and the doctors for that! I also believe that if it weren't for these forums I wouldn't of   been able to get the education I have gotten so I would know what to ask at doctor's visits.

     

    That sleep thing does help. I go through periods where I wake up with head pain. Then also the weather can affect it too. I woke up this morning with one to where I had to give myself an Imitrex injection. I have been fortunate though that not too much of my other body pain has been acting up. Was afraid the lower back was going to start giving me fits along with my left knee. They both have kind of slowed up on that.

     

    I do hope you get to feeling better. Never allow your husband to say "I told you". You can tell him he was right on the subject matter.

     

    Well kiddo should I choose door number 2 and see if it holds all our answers? 

     

    Take care of yourself now!
