I don't remember what I last wrote so I will just start from the begining. I am still seeing the same doctor. Everytime I get frustrated with him, he and his office are so very nice and accomidating that I just can't be angry with them anymore. The apologized profusely about the canceling of my appointment and trying to get me one right away.

That appointment was in March I believe. I was given a lidocaine spray to try for when my migraines are in my eyes or around the sinus area. It does work wonders. I highly reccomend asking your doctor about it. I am still taking Treximet and Axert for abortives as well. The appointment went ok, I was just disappointed I couldn't come off of welbutrin. The amitriptyline was increased but within a week I begged them to take me off because I got so very constipated I had to have an enema. I am back at my typical 25 mg dose and haven't had constipation issues since.

The only problem I am having now is this horrible excrutiating temple pain. Every single day I wake up (sometimes during the night too) with this throbbing, pulsating, stabbing feeling. I was diagnosed with TMJ as a child and it feels like that only my jaw doesn't hurt. Sometimes my triptans take away the headache and sometimes they don't. Motrin doesn't work either. I can't focus on school work, I can't watch tv, I can't read. It's like a migraine in the sense I can't do anything, but I don't think its a migraine because when I massage the temples the pain starts to feel a little better. Its like it is a muscular pain.

I wanted to get trigger point injections like I did when I was a child, but the doctor who does them said I needed a referral, which I never did before. I can't find a doctor to give me a referral. My regular doctor probably would but she is going to a new practice and I can't see her anymore. I don't know what to do about that now. She was always so good to me and filled out my paper work for insurance for my disability. Now who am I going to see?

I don't even know where to begin to find a new physician and I know my migraine doctor doesn't believe migraines are a disability. I have to say 2010 is not shaping into a good year at all. The frequency and intensity of migraines in general are just getting worse. That is just my health. My social life is going to hell in a hand basket!

At least I have no insurance woes at this time. Thank god for that! That is all I would need.
