The neurosurgeon said I was lucky to be alive....and I am but, since the aneurysm, I have had a headache every single day ranging from "nagging" to severe migraine with neuropathy.

Is this the way it is always gonna be. I have ask the neurologist, the neurosurgeon and my Internist....no one will "go out on a limb" to tell me if this is gonna always be this way.

I take Neurontin 2400 mg a day. I stopped taking the Percocet and narcotics because they didn't seem to help that much anyway plus, I'm an RN that would like to return to work someday. I have taken Soma for the worse of the migraines and only get minimual relief with it. The neurologist put me on Phenergan 12.5-25 mg ....I know a nausea med but, he said a study was being done with neuro accident pain because so many ask for the nausea medicine saying they got more relief from it than the narcotics. So I guess you could say I'm a lab rat with the Phenergan....I do get the most relief with it for the "nagging" to the full blown headaches but nothing seems to help with the migraine pain.

I would love suggestions/recommendations to pass along to my doctors. I would also like feedback to the post headaches and do they go away and when.

Thanks so much in advance for your replies.
