My doctor said that I have been the worst case that he's seen so far considering my daily chronic debilaiting migraines since being hit on the head Feb 21st. He bascially went through a whole long list of different drug combinations and the ones I can try. I was given the option of noritryptalin or propolin. I voiced my concerns about taking antidepressants. So he suggested propolin in combination with Excedrin. He also even suggested narcotics such as Vicodin which I didn't want to consider. He suggested a tapering up of propolin over a month period and then when my headaches get better a tapering down. My doctor did say that I will get better with time.

I was then referred to the HeadAche Clinic at Stanford. But my doctor basically said that at the headache clinic they will just try other different drug therapies that may not be so conventional. So he wanted me to try a few drugs first while I wait for my appointment at the HeadAche Clinic.

Anyway, from what I gather from my visits to various medical doctors, it doesnt seem like theres a whole lot they can do on the healing level. It seems like they can only perscribe different drug combinations to combat the symptoms which I found very sad All of them said that I will be healed with time.

I think this forum is a great place to share experiences and information but I realized everyon'es body and healing journey is different and people responnd to different things. My own story is my own journey and my own body. But I would just like to share it with everyone.

Thank you for your support.
