Last week 103
This week 101.6
Total change -1.4
Back down again, not really sure why unless it's the Topomax. I'm probably not going to be on it too much longer since it's as worthless as all the other stuff I've tried for the headaches. I've been seeing a chiropractor for the last week and that hasn't helped either. I'm giving it another week but I don't want to waste any of his time. He is being kind enough to do this for free. I'm also afraid this may be causing more harm since it isn't known what the problem is, all that manipulating may not be a good idea. All I know is things are getting worse, not better.

Tazz, I am sorry you aren't finding help for the headaches.

Since medication hasn't made a difference, you would think they might try something else.

Good luck.

Yeah, you would think that one of the biggest teaching university hospitals in the state which prides itself on its state of the art, cutting edge technology would have made some progress in four months in finding the cause of these headaches, much less find some relief for them.

I know it's no comfort but a good friend of mine can count on his two hands the number of migraine FREE days he's had in the last 15 years. He was in a car wreck and has suffered with them since. The doctors are still trying to find a combination to work with him. I forget what he ends up using about once a month but he takes some SERIOUS medication when it gets beyond him.

So I have sympathy with what you are dealing with and know it's very hard.

They don't even know if I am dealing with migraines or a neck problem or what it is. The pain is right in the base of my head and neck. My next appointments are with someone to see if I would benefit from Botox injections and also an ortho doctor. I am hoping maybe I can get some kind of nerve block. It moves so slow through the system to get anything done. Four months and I still haven't gotten a real diagnosis.

Have they done an MRI of your neck? Could be a pinched nerve in there.

I hope you get some answers soon.

MRI, CT and X Ray, nothing significant there, normal findings I guess. some flattening and bulging but shoulding cause symptoms according to my doctor.

I would get a second MRI and a second opinion independent of the first...in other words, don't let the second opinion see the first set of tests so they are not influenced by them...and make sure you have them show you all of them. some flattening and bulging is worrisome.

Dh and I played "chase the diagnosis" for him for almost 2 years before doctor who had NOT met dh or even knew anything other that he was a male (NOT even his age) figured out what the problem was...most of the specialists we saw saw the same thing but because of his age, ignored that as a diagnosis. About 2 years after he was finally diagnosed...we moved to a new state and was trying to find a neurosurgeon for continuing care...the surgeon we saw said dh could NOT have the disease he had because he was UNDER 60 years old...we fired him.

Keep being a squeaky wheel...someone will eventually listen.
