Update

Hey guys and girls, just thought I'd throw a little update out there for ya regarding the headaches..... As of now, I am still having them every day, although I seem to have more time without pain, and without the severe pain that I was having in the past... so I guess we're moving in the right direction, albeit slowly. My pain management doctor here in Radford is trying stuff centered around some muscles on my neck that he thinks is causing the pain in my head. He has me on a muscle relaxer, a pain patch, and some cream that I'm supposed to rub into the muscles on my neck. I don't really notice any difference in my pain unless I miss a dose, or forget to change my patch... then I can definitely feel more pain, so I guess they are helping. The cream doesn't seem to help at all, in fact, it usually makes things worse because I am rubbing and agitating that muscle that's causing my headaches. I have a follow up appt. next week, so hopefully we can figure out something to do other than the cream. I head back to DC at the end of the month for a visit with my headache doctor.... she shouldn't change anything, as she's pretty pleased with how this doctor here is handling things. Anyways, just thought I'd fill you people in as to what's happening since it's been a while since my last update. Enjoy some photos while you're here!
