My name is Kate and I would like to tell you about my problem. It all started 10 years ago, I think everything started there when I experienced for the first time in my life a very bad migraine. I experience these severe migraines several times a month and this is not a simple migraine, I would like to mention that they are so hard and painful that sometime I just lay in my bed and I just pray for death. I’m not exaggerating about this it’s really very serious. I have had different type of headaches during my life but these types that I experience now are something that I can’t explain, it’s like they are not headaches or migraines but something that makes me feel like my head would explode!
I have been seeing different specialists and even a neurologist but he couldn’t normally explain why I experience such an intense pain. During these years I have been used so many different types of medications that I started to think that I someday I am going to die just because I use so many chemicals and so many drugs that have different side effects. One of the last medications that I have used was the hydrocodone. For some months this drug helped me, not so much but the migraines were less painful. I liked this drug because is cheap but it developed so many side effects that I could not bear them anymore. When the drug effect disappeared it developed to me some strange side effects such as nausea and drowsiness. I started to feel my migraines again but besides it I had the nausea every day 2 or 3 times per day and this made me crazy.
So I decided to try something else, something new. I was searching something to replace the hydrocodone. I found a thing that was called fioricent and this drug was really amazing because it works very well on the tension headaches but unfortunately it didn’t helped me to get rid of the migraines. So I talked with my doctor again and I told him all about my feelings, all about what did I felt and how did this drug worked. I understood that he was very perplexed and surprised that this drug didn’t help me, he was sure that it would help. After this he didn’t prescribed me anything and I couldn’t understand why, I talked to him and finally he explained that this is the first time that he doesn’t know what to prescribe me. I waited for 2 weeks and after these 2 weeks he finally called me and told me that he have a new drug for me and he really hope that it will help. He prescribed me naproxen. I was really surprised about this decision because I was already taken naproxen before hydrocodone and I’m really disappointed that he doesn’t remember this, it made me think that he doesn’t take my situation seriously.
Now, I don’t use anything because I really don’t know what to use in order to help me. I don’t talk to my doctor because I understood that he can’t help me and I’m tired to ask him to help me with no success. I was thinking to find another doctor but I really don’t know where to search… I refuse now to think that this is the end and that I can’t find the right drug for me. I’m really tired to administrate things that are useless for me. I really don’t what to accept that this is the end so I need your help. I would like to find someone that can advice me something. Somebody that can point me to the right direction or that can advice me a medication that can work for sure. I don’t know if there is somebody that have ever experienced the same thing but I hope no, because it’s really painful, but I hope that I can find someone who can tell me why do I suffer so much and what to do to stop these sufferings. Thanks a lot for everything.
