After a 10 day headache in which I could get absolutely no relief from any OTC I decided to give in and go to the doctor. And the day I made the call the headache was unbearable. My doctor was on vacation. I was NOT about to wait for him to come back. But his partner could see me that afternoon. I didn't care - I just wanted a doctor.
So I go in to see Dr. Peterson and he wants to give me shots. I tell him I've had shots once before and I didn't like them. I explain what happened at the InstaCare. Dr. Peterson assures me this is a different shot. And in addition to the shot, he'd like to give me a prescription to a painkiller. I get the shot, which I am told will take about 30 minutes to take effect. Then in about 4 hours I can take 2 of the prescription pills, if needed.
The shot never takes effect.
The prescription pills makes it bearable and they make me sleep, and that's good enough for now.
