Hi ladies
Been feeling really rough lately with meno, night sweats etc etc etc.
H&S - assume you've been through thinking about changing GPs and it's not possible/what you want to do, seems unreasonable that you can't get a referral. Sorry to read that you've recently had another vile migraine, it's disheartening when you think maybe the migs are becoming more manageable, maybe a corner has been turned, them wham, back to square one with a monster one. Have you tried Feverfew, I've got some in the cupboard, not used it yet, sorry I may have asked you this before.
Just received the follow up letter from the Neurology appt and the preventative medication recommended is Topiramate. Just researching it online and it's an anticonvulsant (antiepilepsy) drug. Blimey. Not sure how I feel about taking that every day, can't imagine that my body will accept it, being med sensitive. So, after all that, not sure I want to take it, what am I like.
Limpy, I may have to consider the injections. How is the Gaba treating you, hope all good?
Haven't had a mig for a few weeks but know the monster is just sleeping for a while. Next week I have to take a course of progesterone and that's a guaranteed mig. May have to just stick with taking half of 50mg Imigran, seems to take the edge off it.
I don't know about you girls, but I'm tired with it all, on top of the meno.
Sorry for negativity, just fed up.
Anybody out there on daily Topiramate?
