Confused PCP Dr. Visit and new meds for migraine mania attacks

Okay, saw my PCP today - she started me on METHYLPREDNISOLONE (steriods) TABLETS 4MG, FOR 6 days, a total of 21 tablets, you take so many each day until the last day you take just one.

Came home started my dosage, still had a few attacks of migraines, so I suppose it will take a few days.

Then I start Topamax at a low dose and go up to 50 mg.

This has to work or I am going to go crazy and scream and everyone will hear me. I guess if this doesn't work the next step will be an MRI, since the cat scan of the sinuses were fine, maybe a MRI of a deeper area will be needed. I sure hope not.

When I first moved here, I had terrible headaches/migraines and they thought I had menigitis, had 2 spinal taps and all, ended up with taking 5 steriods and it broke the cycle of the headaches, it wasn't what they thought at first, that was all done at a ER.

So, here's hoping the days to come subside the migraines, gosh they have to, my body is just down and out with this pain and can't really handle it much more, I'm not kidding in any way, shape or form.

Hugs and Thanks for all your info and support.
