Kirk and a bit of my update/donation

December 21, 2010

Hi Kirk, I know your headaches are even worse than migraines and they don't even

have a diagnoses name for yours because they are so

unique and unexplainable but some things that have helped my daily persistant

headaches and also stress induced migraines have been a medication for psych.

called Topomax for the daily persistant headaches. It was prescribed to me for

another reason but when I was going to go off of it, it is one of the benefits

and I found out just how well it did work for me. Another medication that helped

with my migrains before I got them was Reglan that a Neurologist prescribed me

as well as the higher doses of Neurontin for nerve pain. The Reglan regulates

the bowels though and the Neurologist told me at the time that it very much is

connected to headache/migraines. He also told me that migraines were hereditary.

Now, my update is that I went to my Rheumatologist for my 3 month check up on

Monday and that's where I was for those conserned and told him again what

happened with my medications and that and I had seperated. Well, he told

me what he said on the phone just a month ago. He could lose his license if he

prescribed to me now my pain meds so I have to go to a pain management center

from now on. That means regualr labs and extra monthly or whenever the do the

scripts for trips down the mountain to the city and no medical marijuana even

though I only smoke a couple times a month and my psych. doctors are aware of

it. I am betrayed! and punished. Not by my doctor. I totally understand his

position and he gave me a script for 60 of my Norco until I could get to the new

center. Thank goodness they just opened one in the town below our mountain or I

would have to go to Palm Springs double the distance, so I hope it's a

compasionate one. My doctor gave me hugs and supported my decisions 100% and

said he knew I would be ok no matter what but he never wanted to see ' face

in his office again! No matter what. And I don't blame him. He's been doing it

for five years even though I enabled him at first to try and help him be out of

pain. Then I went to my girlfriends afterward and promtly fell halfway down her

flight of stairs! The heel of my boot caught on the edge of the new carpet and

down 4 stairs I went hitting all joints replaced and old. I am just a hurting

lady ;0( BUT I'm not broken that I know of and just in more pain.

So, that's my update and I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day because I can

rest the rest of the week and just putter around and be peacefull.

Thank you again for all your love and support.

P.S. I'm sending in my dollar this week when I go to the mail, how about you?

Now is the only true moment we have in time.
