Ok, so it's been quite some time since I last posted so I wanted to get an update out there.
Update : Nothing is working!
Ozone didn't help, Botox didn't help, new diet is doing wonders for my tummy problems (and I lost 10 lbs almost instantly), but isn't doing anything at all for my head.
Got a prescription for a new headache medication to be taken at the onset of a migraine - just like every other medication it's inconsistent.
I got lucky in the beginning of October, after 3 full months of some sort of headache every single day I actually had 5 days virtually headache free. But then my luck wore out. Since October 17 I've had a severe headache or migraine every single day. Nothing was even taking the edge off the pain, let alone getting rid of the headache so I gave in and called the neurologist again. They wanted to put me on a 6 day treatment of steroids as a way to try and break my current cycle. Also wanted me to come in for the second round of Botox injections. She said that people find the second series to be more effective than the first. So back to the needle.
I've finished the steroid and haven't noticed any change.
I've been getting occasional massages - doctor's orders, remember? =) I went to one last week who is referred to in her office as the "headache specialist". She worked on my neck for quite a while and then told me she wanted to try craniosacral massage on me next time. She said that at least one of my vertebra is causing me problems. So I scheduled that with her for a later time.
Decided to try another thing as well .... chiropractor. If there is something wrong with my spine then that's where I need to be. And at this point, he can't possibly hurt me. Because I've had some bad experiences with chiropractors I needed someone I trust. My anatomy instructor is a chiropractor so I went to see him. Interestingly enough, he also told me that one of my vertebra is out of alignment - and said the same one that the massage therapist said. Do I think he can completely cure me? Of course not. Headaches are complicated - it's what every single doctor tells me. But maybe he can get me through the next couple of weeks.
