Aside from the corny "one day at a time," I don't really have a good answer. I keep seeing myself do the Woody Woodpecker laugh, jump out my window, and go bounding off down the street hooting like Daffy Duck.
What an ordeal you're having. I think the alternative stuff might work better. I've even done hypnotherapy--which worked and is awesome.
Since I started making my way through the anti-depressant families, I've found that I have all kinds of headaches due to light. Namely, bright light--sunlight, hallogen lighting. Didn't you mention you were on anti-depressants? Cymbalta was the one that made me flip over lighting.
I'm taking Lexapro, but I think it's mostly just my cave-dwelling habits of late and the fact that light and sound both aggravate migraine-type headaches. I think Lexapro is an SSRI and Cymbalta works a different way. I've had a lot of luck with SSRIs, so I'm planning to sick with them until they stop working.
I haven't heard anything of late, but I'll definitely keep everyone informed once I know something.
what other kinds of acupuncture are there aside from chinese? do they have like lithuanian acupuncture where they stick railroad spikes through your eyeballs? or possibly khazakstani acupuncture where they replace needles with goats?
Nah. Some chiropractors use electrode needle-things. Dr. Collins told me explicitly to stay away from that. Though, I imagine if he knew about the Lithuanian acupuncture, he'd have told me to stay away from that, too.
I get needles in my lymph nodes to help focus my chi. Maybe afterward I can break concrete blocks with my bare hands and speak out of synch with my lip movements.
...oh, wait. I can already do that second thing. Because I am awesome.
I dunno. Apparently, they give me potent drugs since it's done by an anasthesiologist. Maybe they put certain neurons to sleep to prevent them from transmitting pain signals. My dad's response to this: "Hey, does that mean I can whap you in the back of the head and you won't feel it?"
When do they have that scheduled? Because as soon as you can, you and I are going to do a lot of catching up. You with a headache + me and healing leg = no fun. It's way past time to celebrate our anniversary!
Plus, I hate how you're always in pain. I'm surprised you haven't gone tooney on us already.
I don't even have the initial consultation appointment scheduled yet. I've gotta go talk to the guy, get my head scanned a few times, and then they'll figure out what to do with the nerve blocking thing.
And I've come kinda close to just going crazy. Especially once when my sister was making way too much noise, seemingly indifferent to the fact that my head felt like it was splitting open.
