Meds are out of my league but Mark can weigh in there. Your Dr. sounds like he is not very helpful. Is it possible to get a second opinion? As my GP said a second opinion is always a good thing. He also said that most Dr.s will not mind a second opinion at all.

What about rest. A very common mistake most of us have made is trying to do to much. Insomnia is common for us as well. Trying to get enough sleep and then avoiding over-stimulation is a learned strategy. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, tv, video games, computer.

Try to not over stress mentally or physically. One of my triggers is heat. If I get over heated can bring on a terrible headache and other symptoms. I keep a health journal that has helped me recognize my triggers. It has also helped me see the ssssllllooooooowwww process of healing.
