Headache Update

I guess it's about time that I actually updated whoever may be interested, in how my headaches are doing. I think the last time I updated was when I went in for the Ketamine infusion in Philly. The infusion itself helped while I was there, although I was pretty much just out of it the whole time, waking up only long enough to use the bathroom. They sent me home with a ketamine nasal spray to use when I had some of my worse headaches. The headaches came back a day or so after I was discharged, and while the nasal spray works, the relief only lasts for a few hours, and I can only use the spray 2 days a week.

Sorry if I'd passed that info along already.... Recently I started seeing a new pain management doctor here in Radford. My doctor in Roanoke only wanted to try the various nerve blocks, and since those obviously weren't working, I decided it was time to move on. The new pain doc noticed some things in my files that other doctors hadn't tried to work on... mainly my sinuses, which are pretty messed up, and also my chronic fatigue. So he's got me started on a sinus spray, muscle relaxers, a sleeping aid, and also a low dose of pain medicine by way of a patch. Overall, I think I'm feeling a little bit better, although I'm still having headaches every day.... some days I have a few more hours without a headache, so that's a start. I most likely will not be going back to the headache center in Philly, as it's just a waste of time and money that I don't have to go all the way up there without seeing results. I am still seeing my main headache doctor in DC, and also my pain management doctor here in Radford. Together they are still doing all they can to get me fixed up.
