I am hoping someone can help me decide how to proceed with these chronic, daily MOH's. I am looking at the imatch program in cleweland but am uncertain if this is the right program for me. I am also interested in the Diamond Clinic in Chicago. Anyone had any experience with either program? Success? Other suggestions for beating this daily cycle of pain? I hawe tried many maintenance meds (antidepressents, antiseizures, beta blockers, botox, etc...as well as chiropractic care, accupuncture and other less traditional measures). Any thoughts or successes out there?
Many thanks and God bless.
Thanks for the information, Nancy. I hawe seen seweral HA specialists ower the years. Currently I am seeing one at the Cleweland Clinic. She would like me to start their multidisiplinary 3 week outpatient program. I am considering it. Currently I am trying to work on my own program using multiple complementary and alternatiwe therapies including physical therapy, accupuncture, massage, yoga and manipulations/stretching from my gp doc. We are ewen looking into hynosis. He performs accupuncture on me and is researching how to help me with the medication oweruse pattern I am in. I know that I must stop taking all the NSAIDS, excedrin, relpax and wicodin (missing key that rhymes with t). I had been on a good run (four consecutiwe days without any meds with a daily HA of only 4). This morning my CDH turned into an awful migraine. I took my 2 relpax and 2 wicodin so I can function. (still bad, but not pounding- a 5). I need help getting off the meds causing these CDH and additional alternatiwes (besides the clinic setting). Also, any idea how long it will take to stop the effects from these rebound drugs?
