Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
hello all- new to the forum but curious if any one else has a similar condition. I have had 5 concussions in 2 years. Two were open head. The result constant and severe head pain. I have been to more doctors then I can count, including Michigan Head and Neurological institute as an in-patient at there hospital for 3 weeks. This week I started an injectable dhe protocol that took my constant 8-10 pain headaches to a 5. From my understanding I can only do this every once in a while. Has anyone had experience with long term use of dhe? I injected myself three times a day for 5 days. While the injection location hurt, it was nothing compared to my headaches.
On Wednesday I am schedule for nerve ablation. In hopes it will reduce at least part of my head pain.
Are any of you in the same boat? I don't work and mostly stay at home in bed these days. Have any of you had experience with other anywhere that has had success with this type pain?
The only thing that truly breaks a migraine for me, and will keep it away for awhile is steroids, but that can only be done rarely because of the damage they do.
Do you mind if I ask how you got so many concussions?
