This has happened to me before, the only thing that broke the pain cycle for a while was a shot of Stadol. I was able to eat and get some good rest. It did come back but it gave me time to get to my neuro. The neuro I saw told me that whenever I hav…
Wow. I just happened to check in with this group and I see all this stuff about peppermint oil. I also happen to have a migraine. I have peppermint oil that I bought from bath and body works forever ago. I put some on my forehead, nose (because I ha…
Well my neurologist mentioned to me one time that my migraines were probably associated with my bipolar disorder. And I do trust him. I'm not sure how it all ties together though.
I play Sims 3 if I'm stressed. I think it has to do with the fact that I am controlling whats going on whereas in my own life I have no control. I guess I'm not addicted to it because I don't have time to play it a whole lot.

I've be…
Samantha, you are in the same "bind" that I was in 2 years ago. I live in Southern CA. I had a cardiologist, an internist and a neurologist who tried to treat me with all the early stuff. The 3 of them raised up their hands and said "Find a Speciali…
Hey. Just got back from dysautonomia clinic. He prescribed me Vitamin D and Klonopin. If anyone wants to comment on his treatment recommendations, feel free. I've never tried the Vitamin D (took D tablets, but he said over the counter is nowhere nea…
