Cerebral Brain Atrophy: Anyone else out there?

@avmcbellar Yes, those headaches. When first diagnosed with the brainstem AVM, I had constant every day headaches and was prescribed Elavil, which helped the headaches but turned me into a zombie. There have been numerous prescription pain killers since, but I've finally stopped all of it so I could regain my brain power once more. I still get daily headaches but either I've grown accustomed to them or they're less painful now. It is what it is! I don't tolerate prescription meds of any kind, so am happy my doctors comply with that, and I can think clearly again.

@artist01 perhaps the tea may help you. I’m glad you had found some relief from caffeine and pain medications for it to at least be tolerable. My headaches are now 1-2 times per month. The difference being the pain may last up to 2 days and it always includes pain behind my right eye. I do not know how you got used to yours when it is not easy. Glad you found a way that helped you.
