Migraines, what to do! The increase in my preventative medication did not work after all, i started getting unwanted side effects and had to go back to my doctor in the end.
We took the decision that plain and simple it just was not suiting me, the hot flushes and buzzing in my ears was becoming more constant, and i was feeling just not myself.
I was hoping that there was more medication that he was wanting to try, truth be told i was kind of hoping for some kind of magic pill that would fix them once and for all! But the decision was taken that the best course of action would be to refer me to a local hospital, that has a chronic headache department in their neurology section.
I am due to under-go a telephone assessment with them Tuesday of next week, then it can be a wait of five weeks for an appointment, all that with no preventative medication at all, and that is kind of scary to say the least!!
Its so frustrating, and i feel like i am being taken back to being a child again, going through all the testing and looking for all my triggers, now i know it has to be done, and that in the end it is the best chance of gaining control of them, but......................well anyone who has gone through this, or who is going through this will understand.
So i guess its fair to say i am feeling kind of down about it all right now, and am scared about what i will do without any preventative, how badly they will come back left unchecked.
All i can do is try to deal with what comes, and try to get some kind of positive outlook on it all!
At least this place specialises in it so hopefully they will be able to find a solution that works for you. Hoping that in the meantime the migraines aren't to debilitating while they try and figure it all out. x
