Default How are your headaches doing?

How are your headaches doing?

I have been having more lately that last for a couple of days at a time. Nothing cuts them.

Must be time to see the Dr. and get a new Rx.

So, how is your little head doing?

Hi Taffy, no takers?
I did some volunteer work on Wednesday and it turned out to be a bad head day after that. Thursday was fine, then Friday-crashed and burned. Sore head for 12 hours that nothing would shift. Been fair since then, but can feel it lurking.
Saw my pain man today and booked in for a steroid injection in 3 weeks.
Have decided to up my medication as I have been a bit reluctant to take them for low grade pain, but it just builds up and I wander around not able to do anything. So from now I will take bigger doses and see if that makes me able to do things.

Hey Taffy, I think it might be time for you to see the doc. Maybe up your dose of Topamax???

A friend of mine just recommended a book to me called Heal your Headaches. He has been a migraine sufferer like me most of his life and has tried everything with no luck.

I am going to go check out this book and see what it's all about.

i can't believe this. Now 7pm and haven't needed any medication at all so far. What is going on? Usually I would have had 5-6 pills by now. Really weird.
The only thing different is that I took a Valerian tablet last night.
Of course, feeling better I will now overdo it and have a crash.

Funny you should ask about migraines.

It used to be that when I started a flare, I would have 20-30 days of non-stop migraines which would send me running for solumedrol.

I started my first flare since starting (then stoppping, then restarting...but that's for a different thread) Topamax. I'm only taking 50mg in the AM and 50 mg in the PM.

I had one migraine about 1.5 months ago that ended in the Urgent care with shots of demerol, toredol and phenergan. When I woke up the next day it was gone (not how my head aches usually work).

The last week and a half, I've been getting migraines, but not every day, and the've been managable (also not how my headaches usually work) with not much vomiting.

So, in general, I'd say that the Topamax is making a positive difference in regards to my headaches during flares. But I'm interested in increasing the dosage in hopes that it will do even better next time?
