Well I'm having really bad pain today, this time its on both sides of my head. I've taken a double dose of my medication and it isn't touching it, so at this point I'm at a loss. I know the only way I'm going to beat it is to take my phenegren and pass out but that means calling in sick to work, again, and I just can't afford to miss another days work because of this crap. I wish I could find a doctor that would look for a solution rather than just throw more medication at me, but my new neuro only wants to talk about my migraines and ignore my ON, which causes me daily pain compared to migraines 1x per week. So I sit here watching stupid movies, unable to get comfortable or sleep and yet again I ran out of my pain medication 5 days early this month so I'm without any relief for the next week. Anyway, I'm just venting. Thanks for listening
I'll have to look up phenegren. My doc hasn't mentioned that drug... Oh, and have you asked your doc what to do if you run out of pain meds early? I know they are careful about refilling them too quickly, but I imagine if you just had this happen one month, and never before, they might give you a new prescription earlier than usual.
