Have you gone to see the headache clinic at Stanford? or What about UCSF brain and spine injury clinic?
Thanks! |

I'm half Japanese, also. Other half is Chinese. My screen name is the Chinese spelling of a Japanese given name.

Hi Kenjhee,
Wow that's great! How long have you had headaches for? May I ask your treatment plan? My headaches are every single day and on the left side Are you born in America? Thank you! Quote:

Sorry to hear of your frustrations. I think that Drs. know nothing about PCS and only treat the symptoms - I don't think my Dr. even believes my struggles with PCS - so frustrating.
Hang in there. |

I also go to Stanford. the neurologist is a specialist in tbi and pcs. you would not know it. I read her reports and wonder if I was at the same appointment. I say I have been drinking less she writes I have been drinking more. how in the world do I get that corrected. after 3 visits she truly believes I have pcs and says see you in 6 months. that is the action plan. I feel like its me and the internet with this one.
me.... mva. fractured c2. herniated c7. concussion. 10 days later walked into a pole. gave over. daily headaches now. confusion. numbness. getting lost. insomnia, sleepiness. isolation. good psychiatrist who is my best friend for $200 per hour. 57 y/o pharmacist that now can not make change at a drive thru. |

Their frequency goes through cycles. I'll have attacks every day for a while (the longest while being 2 years). They they may back off to alternating days for a period. Haven't been able to correlate this behavior to anything in particular. I have been using Imitrex very effectively for the past few years. It works about 90% of the time. I take the Imitrex with some Ibuprofen so it works faster (basically manufacturing Treximet in my mouth). Lately I've been adding Dilaudid to my "cocktail", a trick I picked up on my last visit to the emergency room. I am half Japanese and half Chinese, and was born in the SF Bay Area. I speak just a little Japanese and have been to Japan 4 times (each time I nearly killed myself as my constitution can not bear the strain of international travel ).
