Hi @rwinney , I do not get very many migraines, I just use a over the counter headache med. that works for me.
I can have a migraine with the pressure headache ( migraine is easy to fix)
The severe headache I have,is a ton of pressure and severe pain. The injections had no affect to this weird headache.The doctors are stumped, I tried diets, I tried a natural path,
I tried the gabapintin when it first hit me 2 years ago- but it did not help at that time,
So I wanted to try again.
The morphine is the only pain med that touches my pain, I hate taking it- but I need to when my pain is 8-10 and I'm throwing up from the pain.
I ended up in the Psch hospital for 6 months- The pain took over my life, and I did not want to live any longer . So I am struggling with this pain, we are trying everything.

Be careful with this drug. Took it for leg swelling. Had a seizure after stopping it. I was also on a sleeping pill at the time so you never know.

@amkhead Have you ever been diagnoses with occipital neuralgia? I have that in addition to neuropathy. I get awful tightening from the base of my head up the back, and neck. Hard to lay on a soft pillow when I flare. I freeze it with ice on neck and head. I'm glad the morphine at least helps you regardless of hating to take it. I completely understand that theory. I used to receive nerve blocks in neck and occipitals then moved on to radio frequency ablations. Have you tried these?
