I walked out of there feeling like we had a plan, I felt supported by him, and I felt like he listened too. We went over what happened the end of August when my iv infusion didn't work and the nurse failed to help me and I had to go to the ER for help. My nero said he would speak with her and he feels that she has a lack of understanding about migraines. I have some new rx's,... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/14492/doctor-visit http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/13764/migraine Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:56:00 -0400 hearts41 I began a migraine on saturday.   I thought perhaps I finally got rid of today around noon.   I woke up with it again but took a Maxalt, I did feel somewhat better afterward but slowly today I felt it coming back.  Its like a monster, waiting for me.  And now this evening here it is.  Back!   I am so tired of this.   So, now what.   I don't want to have to call the nerologist... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/13764/migraine http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/13346/question Fri, 07 Sep 2007 20:48:00 -0400 hearts41 I am currently taking Topamax as my prevenative and have been for awhile now, probably about two years.  I take 100 mg twice a day.   I was wondering if anyone has heard of adding Zonegram to Topamax or if it is a either or type of situation.  I have added to my list of questions to ask the nerologist on my next visit but meantime I was wondering if anyone has any experience with that.   Thanks Lori http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/13346/question http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/13227/mri Wed, 05 Sep 2007 18:17:00 -0400 hearts41 My nerologist recently ordered a MRI with and without contrast.  I have had migraines for about 15 yrs and throughout that time I have had about 3 Mri's.  I was under the impression that most of the time the Mri's are normal in a migraine patient, true? Lori http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/13227/mri http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/13161/saga-continues Tue, 04 Sep 2007 14:13:00 -0400 hearts41 After the iv infusion I was feeling better, but I could tell the migraine was not totally gone.  By Tuesday I was feeling worse, by Wednesday, I was full blown migraine.  I call my nero's office and I got the assistant/nurse whatever she is.  I explain to her the whole situation and she tell's me "Dr. Wilson is gone until Tuesday" then a pause nothing, silence.  So I say, okay, who is filling in for... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/13161/saga-continues http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/12798/iv-infusion Mon, 27 Aug 2007 13:52:00 -0400 hearts41 On wednesday night I ended in the ER with a terrible migraine, it started on Tuesday night.  The pain was so bad on Wednesday night that I passed out.  Hubby carted me off to the ER. Everyone there was fantastic, they gave me IV fluids, pain meds, and magnesium sulfate. The only mistake I think they made was not admitting me because while the pain meds took my pain from a 9 to a 4  I knew the migraine was still there, alive and... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/12798/iv-infusion http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/12627/introduction Wed, 22 Aug 2007 20:04:00 -0400 hearts41 I have been living with migraines for about 15 years now.  I am currently taking topamax as a preventative and Maxalt and Fiornial as an abortive.   I recently had to have home health come in for IV infusion.  That was a first for me, they gave me Decadron, benadryl and something for naseaua.   The decadron made my stomach hurt for about a week, I had muscle weakness and pain as well.  The muscle weakness... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9497/12627/introduction
