Sheesh, I get a headache every single time, and often they are horrific! Ironic because as I researched this I find that often people take opiates for headaches. The pain I experience with RSD/CRPS is out of this world sometimes, and I play games with myself as to when I will say Uncle and take the painkillers. I have waited too long before taking them and the pain has gotten ahead of me and I wind up in the ER to get it under control.

I don't get a monthly round of opiates. I have them for breakthrough pain. I don't take them daily, but my fear is that some day I will need them daily, and what in the world am I going to do about the headaches? I'm going to ask my doc about this as well as the drug Nanc suggested.
