my trip to the anodyne headache clinic

I am glad to hear you had a good experience with Dr. Krusz. It sounds like the visit was a success.

 

Having your Migraine attacks be more managable is very important. To be able to abort the attack and reduce the pain is key as you found out.

 

I wish you contiuned good luck

Dear Nancy - so good to hear from you! It's all grist for the mill right now. I feel like everything is in a state of flux right now - changing - at least for the better. I need to get well enough to get back to work. The tofu and potatoes have got to get on the table somehow LOL. Last night I got four unbroken hours of sleep - that's big for me -and correspondingly - I feel better this morning. Enuf about me. How are you?

Hugs

I was taking a "me" minute at school to check the email and stuff, and came across your post. I almost started crying in the middle of sixth period, in front of all the kids, because I was so happy for your pain-free hours.  I know you've worked harder for those hours than just about anybody works for anything.  Just to hear you talk about having a renewed sense of hope makes my day.  I couldn't be any happier for you. 

thanks for your comments!  My raised lamictal is really helping the auras today - and today is the first day - so I am keeping my sense of hope. Take care -

Hugs

Hi there We have never spoken before, but theres a first time for everything. Your migraines sound severe. I am an extreme case too, and though I have broken the 16 hours migraine free periods, I do still manage to get them almost every day. I would give anything I own to be able to get the care you were able to receive. I am in Ontario, and the health system is majorly lacking. I consider it a good neuro visit if he only looks at his watch 5 times during the meeting! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and truly hope your on your way to a less painful existence. Hugs to you my friend bimini *mrscolt*

Dear Mrscolt:

I'm probably going to be in Alberta late summer - for a month or two. Thanks for telling me about that. I'm sorry this neuro finds his watch more fascinating than helping patients  - that is just so rude. Perhaps you could make one visit to a neuro in the states. Might be an idea.  I took a big risk - financial and migraine wise to go to Dallas. sometimes risks pay off. Just a thought.

Hope things work out a little better

Hugs
