So i am 9 years along altogether with various injuries, There are frequently times when the burning and pressure and pain in head neck shoulders and arms is just too much. New people, i have had numerous very bad insults to head and am not the norm. don't panic.
I have a pain management doctor who will prescribe it. I think my answer is yes. Tylenol, advil..etc. aren't touching it. Neither is gabapentin. Kind of feel like i have nothing to lose at this point. |

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |

Unless you can give up alcohol 100%, you might want to think hard on this.
