Another headache

Slowly recovering from another whopper of a headache.  Ugh.  The Gabapentin has been keeping them at bay for a couple of months, so I'd kinda forgotten how awful they can be.  Wow.  Unfortunately, with it came symptoms of pain, numbness, heaviness, wierdness in the only limb that had not yet been effected.  ~sigh~ I revisit my primary care tomorrow, and will insist on an MRI.  Grateful, as always. to this support group.  Namaste.

Primary care changed my Gabapentin to Lyrica and grudgingly agreed to MRI. Thoughts on Lyrica? I thought the Gabapentin was going just fine. Whoppers of headaches every 6 months is MUCH better than previous.... Not exactly sure why she felt the need to change it, but I felt the need to compromise, since she gave in on the MRI. Funny, the game our health care system has become....
