I'm still trying to "Digest This" as my Dad likes to say.
I've posted how on December 23rd I received my latest Botox shot.
When I got it, I was told that it would take "Two weeks or so to work, at most"
This Friday will be four weeks.
A very strange pattern has been happening.
All day long, during the day, I have been fine. No pain, etc.
Every night, starting at 7, 8, 9 pm I have been getting pounding headaches.
My Botox Dr used to give me a certain strong migraine med to help the pain.
This time, no med from either my regular neurologist or Botox Dr.
My regular neurologist, after I have been telling him about the almost nightly pain. wanted to know the amount of Botox injected into my head, my system
After I left word with my Botox Dr last week, someone from his office emailed me today.
I was told that 200 viles of med have been injected at my last session on 12-23.
When I reported this to my regular neurologist, he said to me.
"That is a generous amount. That amount should be sufficient"
So , that answer means, no migraine pain meds, and status quo.
While I greatly admire and like both my Botox Dr and my regular neurologist, the bottom line is that neither of them experience the nightly headaches that I have been getting.
So I guess I'm just going to have to deal with it.
Between the nightly headaches, and the fact that I get extremely exhausted anytime I have to walk a long distance, or do things like climb stairs, go on subways , etc, I would say that my condition has greatly deteriorated.
My father, knock on wood, says that he is getting better from his medical issues.
My birthday is Monday. I'm supposed to see my father Saturday for lunch.
While I've always been a fighter, and vow to battle this Epilepsy Condition and Migraines.
My mood has really darkened after this news today.
I know that one can never "Give up" when they have a serious medical condition.
I'm really at a loss of what to do.
