Close Migraine Headaches
i've had chronic migraines with increasing intensity and frequency over the past three years. for the past six months or so they have been accompanied by weakness, numbness and loss of coordination on my right side.
Treatments
- Aspirin Not Working
- it helps with my circulation problems but not my migraines
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- i stopped using chemical hairdyes, and that has helped a little. i now use henna and cassia instead. it's better for my hair anyway.
- Zomig Somewhat Helpful
- it worked great until i started taking topamax then i got what seemed like rebound migraines from it.
- Topamax Not Working
- it worked great but i had serious side effects and had to stop taking it.
- Neurontin Working / Worked
- this drug is great. i am mostly migraine free and anxiety is much easier to deal with.
Close Chronic Pain
i'm always in pain, whether it is my back, or my head, or for some odd reason my whole body. i don't know why but i'm coping because there is nothing else i can do.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- i can't afford it now, but it has helped in the short term in the past
- Neurontin Working / Worked
- just started it, we'll see if it lives up to my hopes
