HOWEVER... it's also the reason they sent me to a pain doctor, who confirmed what my neurologist and GP said about this pain I have, only MJ will truly help the pain.
So if it's legal in your State or region, worth looking into. I'm still waiting on financial approval to begin my own 'testing'  |
Thanks everyone. The headaches I've been having are that steady, constant pain. No migraine...thank goodness! It's not my sinuses or allergies. I've had enough trouble with those and I know where I typically have pain related to those.
I'm going to try to go for a few days without taking any meds for it, just in case I am experiencing "rebound" headaches. Today was the first day, and it wasn't fun. Now, we've got a front coming in that's bringing rain, and I'm having to deal with the pain and vertigo from that as well. Ack!!!
My husband suggested having my blood pressure checked b/c that can cause headaches. (Plus, both of my parents have high blood pressure.) That will be one of the first things I check if the headaches don't go away after my med-free few days. But, my BP has always been on the low side of normal, even when I was pregnant.
We'll see. Thanks for all the responses! You guys are always great.
ETA: I forgot to comment on the MJ thing....it's not legal in my state, although we have a neighbor who more than likely could easily get it for me if I ever wanted it.
