Still, my head hurts just about ALL the time, especially when I am laying down.

I wish I had been more informed about the possible risks before I had been injected.

Sandy,
Do you take anything to prevent migraine? I see, the topomax.
I know the evil that lurks there. (In migraines).

You seem to be describing TOS!

I wake with them, what a way to start the day!

I take zonegran for prevention, and I know that topomax is used as are some other anti-seizure meds.
Maybe you need to try another one?
Works pretty well for me.

Do you use Imetrex, or maltrex? Lots of migraine meds now since Imetrex came out... Some, better than others, for different strokes/folks.

Hope you find relief!

Pete
