I have been suffering with my migraines for quite awhile and recently saw my neuro dr. I call him the "brain dr."
This last visit wasn't very good. I should have been doing better, we increased my meds to double the dose but I wasn't feeling any relief, I'm still popping Vicadin way too often. He doesn't feel I am addicted as I can go for days without it and don't "need" it, but at the same time, I shouldn't be needing it like I should.
So we discussed a few things. One of the things he noticed was about a year ago, my celebrax consumption decreased but my Vicadin increased. I am taking the Celebrax for my psoriatic arthritis, mainly my back pain. So he made a change, added Cymbalta, doubled my Celebrax (as before) and see me in 3 months.
Its been a week and for the first time in months, I don't feel exhausted when the weekend hits. I look forward to doing some yard work, to getting up and moving. Is this from the Cymbalta? From the relief in the pain? Since my head hasn't hurt in 2 days straight?
I'm counting my blessings.
