Headaches beware

TopAmax

This is just one of the many medicines I have been on since my hospital stay in November. I went to see my Neurologist Friday and he decided to tweak some of my medicines. I have been taking 50 mg of Topamax 2 times a day and then Imitrex as needed. The problem is that I need Imitrex too much and it doesn't always last long enough. He has decided a 4-Prong approach:

1. DHE-45 Infusions-that take up to 3 hours a time :)

2. Relpax-instead of Imitrex, I've tried it once, we'll see!

3. Frova-on top of the Relpax if it doesn't make the headache go away

4. Increasing Topamax

So far we are working on 1-3. I am waiting to hear from the nurse about scheduling my infusions and I am really dreading this. It means I will have to take a 1/2 day off from work and it will probably make it feel bad before it makes me feel better!!
