I'm on day 39 of the migraines. My neurologists have referred me to Cleveland Clinic Neurology department but I won't be seen until May 2nd. Two nights this week I haven't been able to sleep due to the pain of the migraines. I'm coming up on the last final days of my 30 days of short term medical leave and will probably ask my doctor to extend it another 30 days due to the headaches and PCS/depression.

I've started with a new therapist this week to work on the PCS and PTSD and I think she will be very helpful to me. I'm looking forward to seeing her again. The suicidal thoughts I've had lately due to pain and and lack of life due to apathy have me in a very bad place.

I follow up with my regular doctor in a few days and I don't know what my next step is or should be since I can't be seen by another specialist until May. I obviously can't continue like this for over another 2 months as it's already almost 40 days as it is.

Can my doctor admit to a hospital for headaches? If so, can doctors at a hospital do anything there for me?

Has anyone ever used Botox to cure headaches before?

If I continue my paid short term medical leave another 30 days at work, could I be terminated? I was already approved for paid leave for 30 days. I have sent an email to my HR person asking this but wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this.

Thanks for your help. So glad this board is here. I wish I would have found this board 11 months ago!
