hi all

head ache meds any ideas apart from my instant memory issues and recall white outs ect the most life limiting thing is the constant daily head aches, this also gnaws at my mood

now I nearly lost it big time the other day at my head injury group with a supposedly trained care worker, when I was saying I could not see something because of my head ache and how I have to avoid certain things that set it off , and she waved glasses in my face and said why dont you were your glasses

I have special glasses to correct lower double vision due to eye damage . but vision is not the issue here ?

I hope some of you can understand , but would wish this on nobody the following can be set of by exertion, stress print, light, my glasses, jolts, in my right field of vision an area starts to flow like water and shimmer ,if I shut my right eye it is still present, but still in the right side , of my field of vision , thats my Que to dive for cover, incoming so to speak, I have to lay flat and cover my eyes a until it passes till the next time.

If I cant or do not ,dive for cover, the flowing water will become zigzags and crack my vision and the right side will fill with this hence I cant see . and a thunder cap head ache and nausea ensues, pain meds cant touch it . when that passes I have exertional pain in the left frontal part of my head. the right side is were I have the damage and titanium plates and general optical neuralgia

classic migraine I hear you say , this care worker cannot understand it not my eyes ,which makes me angry, think shes just too thick, and never experienced it herself, and my doctors just ignore, my laments , now I am seeing my nuro psychologist . soon I am fed up with freaking tests that tell me what I already know these test have been necessary

I like and respect my nuro psychologist ,but over 2 years down the track ,it must be time for practical help with functioning and pain management

I am also concerned that the residual pain, in the left side is causing more damage , hence my diving for cover stratagem

now I have had and may still have a CSF leak and sleep fits

but my question was and is (sorry for the rant) do we know of any medication that can stop this, happening or something I can take at trigger event to stop it progressing , that I can suggest to my doctors

thanks for reading
