So I was given medication for that, then came side affects which were ridiculous. Though I took the medications because well, I had epilepsy right and migraines so then I take medications now and I am a zombie but hey this is my life now. Right? Except nope. This doesn't have to be the way I live the rest of my life because there are other options I just need to take that step out and go STOP! This isn't working for me, I still have headaches and in fact feel worse than I did when you said "You have epilepsy" Which in fact is the first thing the neurologist that I was sent in to see asked me "do you feel better than you did before you started taking these medications?" NO. So now, I am weaning my way s l o w l y off topamax (happy to say good bye to that toxic medication) about halfway to zero now. The headaches have increased but that was to be expected. I have been given a script for a heavy dose of a OTC that I can take the minute I feel a migraine starting, sometimes they take the edge off for a while. In the meantime, the tests have been ordered and I have been working as much as possible as I will likely max my deductable within a months time, again this year. My insurance company and I have formed a friendship, we are open and honest with each other I want to get better and stop seeing all these doctors and they want to stop having to pay for all these treatments so it's a win win. Now, to just end the headaches cause living alone in the dark is not really an option that I am going to live with.
