Migraineurs? Headache Sufferers?

[Horse with no Name]

12. I used to get really horrible ones

the last one I had..lasted 3 weeks. I couldn't raise my head off of the pillow. I endured MRI's, CT Scans and Lumbar Punctures.

Finally, one morning, it was just gone.

During all of this, a referral to a headache specialist was given. When I finally got the appointment, the headache was gone.

However, he did a doppler of my head and said that there was vascular damage in the place that I had the headache.

He put me on a calcium channel blocker and low dose anti-depressant. Even though these medication doses were eventually tripled from the low doses, after 4 years I was weaned off of them. He also put me on some type of caffeine pills mixed with a narcotic for breakthrough headaches.

That has been 15 years ago and I haven't had a migraine since. (knocking on wood)
