Now the Another week another Nerve block will fit, because next week I have to go again. Although my doctor said we will try six of them, now he is saying we will try 8 (will see what he says after that). I don't mind, I just really though they would work. I am still optimistic, why not?
The good news is that I can go off the Topamax, after the 45 min visit he said that I really have trouble with finding words and although funny, this is not the medication for me (he is really cool doctor, and funny).
Oh, and he really did not like the fact that I lost vision in my left eye during the migraine few weeks ago. Since it was during the migraine phase, not during the aura phase, it does scare him a bit. He talked about a few options, sending me to another specialist for a consult, MRI.
We decided on adding magnesium and B2 to the Zanaflex and Omega fatty acids that I take. Oh, and I take Strattera for ADHD, which is on the list of preventives. For now, that is it, no other preventive, but most likely prednisone in the future since what else?
I am just really glad to be off the Topamax, because to be in so much pain and this "stupid" was a little too much. Now, I would love to get back to normal, so I can get back to studying.
Eva, it sure sounds like you're making the right decision (going off the Topamax, I mean). Geez--it's amazing how the wrong medicine can be SO wrong....
Won't it be nice to be able to complete a sentence again??
I know it's frustrating, but keep smiling!
And stay strong! There is a medication combination out there that will help you!!!
Sure there is, and I like the idea of trying the supplements now.
Btw is it only me or is the smiley in pain?
