Hope Lost

My update is pretty much straight forward. After many doctors and trying everything I have to live with this for the rest of my life. I've tried everything from Botox to Radio Frequency Ablation. Now after having all these things done they have only gotten worse. It's extremely difficult to live with pain everyday, the ice pick headaches that I get and the chronic migraines on a daily basis this is no way to live. So if anyone as any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

We right in there with you Pamela Sue. I could go on with stories, but I'm (we're) just too tired, worn out, disappointed and disgusted with the Federal and State agencies whom are supposedly provide assistance when you lose everything. I guess our sanity will be next.

 It's miserable, and your right it's crazy. And or sanity is probably next. Guess we are all in it together I just wish I could get some relief. I'm exhausted.

Hi Pamela Sue, My experience sounds similar to yours. I just had the RFA three weeks ago and it was a rougher experience than I was told post-procedure. I'm still waiting to see if it will work for me or not. I've tried the Botox for years, but after many, many hundreds of dollars and no real lasting relief, I am going to stop the Botox and see what happens. I am working with a new pain management specialist and if the RFA does not provide a good respite from the pain, we have planned the next step to investigate a nerve stimulator. I also take oral vitamins D3, Riboflavin, B12, and magnesium by infusion once a week. I don't know if you have had any success with the vitamins. Honestly, the best thing I have found is to have a plan of some kind, that if "this" doesn't work, I have something "else" to keep trying. I sure hope you find something that works for you and encourage you to keep fighting the good fight and be kind to yourself.

 We've tried everything and nothing is working. From changing meds to all types of surgeries and I'm tired of the daily pain and suffering I go thru everyday.
