[Dragonkort]

didn't just want to fall off the face of the earth on you guys....as you know iv been getting botox shots for my cronic migrines, headaces, sinis headaces... and various cluster headaces..its been working real good but this past couple of weeks iv started getting mild headaces again....im afraid my body is starting to build up a resistencet to the botox shots..... the pain isnt as bad as it wa when i first started taking the shots so far....but im having the headaces more and more  often now and  each one seems to  be a ittle worse  the  last one and they are lasting longer and longer....the over the counter pain meds like asprin and tyonal arent  as effective as they were before either...I had to take a perscription pain pill this evening and although the pain his died down some it hasnt taken the pain away....so im trying not to  get on the computer to often and when i am on i try to do what ever i have to do quickly and  then get off...and im working on the crafts less and for not as long as a time to try to hold things off a bit. .spike says not to be so worried and concerned and afraid that the botox is starting to become inefective  because i always have trouble when the weather is changing...espicaly whe we have drastic changes i barametric prusser....and this past week or so the weather here has been all over the place...so thats proubly why im starting to get the headaces and that the botox is still working because the headaces arent as bad.... i hope hes right...i pray he s right..i dont kow if i can go thorugh the non sstop constet 10+ pain 24 hours a day 7days a week again... thats why i havent been in much to look at everbodys projects and tell you how great they are.... and like i said im not working on my stuff as much either....im going to see if spike can load candle onto the computer for me so that hopefuly a little at a time i can try to learn it enough to put other peoples patterns in to and let the cnc maching make things when i cant thats why i got   it..... i hope spike is right and im lettinng my anxity get to me and things will be better once the temputer and the weather settle down some.... please pray with and for me that the bowtox shots are still working and once the weather settles down i'll feel better.. thanks

My wife has had migraines since the day I met her. After years of general MDs she was refereed to Neurologist. Check them out, many specialize with migraine and treat migraine. She has prevent meds and meds when she has a migraine. She suffered for years, but has done better with the Neurologist. Was offered the Botox, but never went that route. RJF

So sorry to hear of your awful headaches.  My husband suffered for 20 years from cluster headaches in a roughly 5 year cycle.  They would last for 2 to 3 weeks, and then gone for about 5 years.  The only thing that helps him is a prescription injection called Imitrex.  It's pricey, but totally takes away the pain.    It also comes in pill form and an inhaler, but neither of those did anything for him. Might be something to ask your Dr about.

lol yes keven things could most defently be worse... i have seen several neurolgest.... and have taken imatrex as well as a ton of other proventive medacatiions.... also went to a caroprater which helped for awhile... and we have tried dozens of pain meds ... also went to the msu migrine and pain clinic....but they dont take medacare/medacade...so they just sent us home.... the last nuro dr we saw sent us to kallamazoo to see if the bowtox would help...we started that last sept...and until recently it was a merical....i had forgotten what it felt like to be pain free... we are hoping that since my last appoment was set like 3 weeks faruther then it was suppose to be plus the ever changing weather is why iv been having so much trouble lately.  i go back for more shots in dec... but hoping with the weather settleing down so will my head. lol  if you can  control the pain with out the bowtox shots i would most defently not get the shots....they hurt like hot bee stings...and i get 33 of them in my head face and neck....its different for every person you describ where the pain is and showthem if you can and then you get the number of shots you need in the plces you need to sort of  deaden those nerves.... today has been a good day...the weather is finally beginning to settle down some and iv only had to take one pain pill today...things are looking up!!! i was cutting out some compound cut patterns before things went kazooy....i hope to start doing more of them tomarrow....as well find a regular scroll saw pattern or two  to work on.... OH !! and spike has been working on the cnc machine as we now have it wired right ( thank you u tube!!  the instructions we downloaded had the wireing set  up wrong....spike fixed it the way they had it on u tube....and low and behold it started working!!!  he even got the spindle to move.... he will search more u tube tomarrow and see what we should do next.... im afraid i got people upset on the sight for my machine....they had some trouble figureing out what i was asking  and then i wasnt posting properly i think i made one person really mad because he used the f word and told me to go to the files and read the beggner posts.... i was doing that just not really understanding what i was reading... i hope spike can figure things out now with the u tube....im not sure i can go back to the facebook sight.... its nobodys fault... everyone was very nice....and paticent for a long time....and asides from just one person who yelled and used the f word they were very kind about telling me what i was doing wrong..... im still be welcomed there just have to learn better ways to ask my questions better and with fewer words... will just have to fight the anxity and panic my body has nowdecided to have about that sight.... like i said nobodys fault they were very nice and one person gave me some suggestions as to how to ask my questions.... i know my socol skills are lacking if i drive you guys nutts please let me know and i will try to do better here too... maybe i can find a u tube that teaches you how to talk to people and ask questions.... well best get of here before my head decideds to attack again and again thank you for all your suggestions!!!
