ABOUT ME:

Roughly 14 yrs ago, a doctor injected me with a high dose or an incorrect medication that started causing me head pain almost instantly. Over a 6 month time frame, the severity and frequency increased to the point where the pain never went away. I have excruciating pain in my head 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. One "Specialist" described it more like a brain injury with migranous features. I have ice picks, clusters, pain cycles that become so severe that I become bedridden for weeks at a time from being unable to lift my head. I have an 8 yr old daughter. She, along with my faith, keep me going. She is my heart and she inspires me everyday. After 11 yrs of marriage, my husband decides he is "over my being sick all the time" and is no longer in love with a worthless and pathetic sick person. Whatever. So, that is my story in the extreme condensed version. Maybe I will add more later, we'll see. Feel free to ask questions, especially about meds - chances are I've been on them at some point during the last 14 years. Be well all !!
