Discouraged

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am pretty discouraged!! I know you guys can relate. I stopped my

Elavil that I was taking; only 10 mg once a day. Well, last week I

didn't sleep at night. This week I have had a horrible headaches and

migraines since the weekend, really bad neck/shoulder pain, nausea

and dizziness. The nausea and dizziness just started the past 2

weeks. I really haven't had the dizziness in years until now. Well,

I did fall down on my tailbone a couple of weeks ago. So I don't

know what has caused me to go downhill. If it was the fall or maybe

the Elavil was helping more than I thought(hope not). I know it will

be hard to get back to taking the Elavil, b/c it makes me nauseated

and have bad migraines at first until it gets in my system. I couldnt

tell that it was helping the pain, so I stopped it, but very

gradually. I have been able to sleep in the mornings this week. The

headache was really bad

today and the neck/shoulder pain and dizziness is too right now.

Accupuncture was helping for 5 days, but not this last time! So I

don't know what to do. I started Keppra that my neurologist gave me

months ago to try. Hopefully it will help my headaches! I haven't

had any surgeries yet, as I was told I was not a candidate, back in

Jan. I guess I will be going back to my neurologist. Thinking about

trying nerve blocks. I don't know, just reaching for straws here!

DO you guys have any suggestions for me right now?

I am in alot of pain, and need some relief!

Hope you have a good night!
