I'm so scared of needles I gave birth 4 times naturally. (Helpful, aren't I?) Anyway, I sincerely hope that you do find the relief you need and deserve. I hope this works. You are an amazing person.

Don't be afraid to ask for more medication if you are NOT comfortable. You are brave, strong, patient, etc. You should be so proud of yourself. My NEURO said that to me today and I thought he was crazy but it made sense after he explained it. I have dealt with severe intractable daily migraine headaches for 20++++ years. You know that. I don't know that there will ever be a fix except meds I don't want to take. I can't work, play, travel, etc. so right now I am doing what I have to. So, instead of my pain levels being 10+++++++ every single day they are about an 8 (baseline) and then there are 3 or so days a week I hit 10+++++. I hate the 0-10 pain scale because often 10 doesn't CUT.IT.AT.ALL. I prefer to use the McGill Pain Index (much better). Will you be able to return to school in time for the next semester? PS. How did you do on your tests. ((GENTLE HUGS)), Jodi PS. Diana---are you the same Diana in nursing school in Texas? If so, how is that going and are you blogging? Sorry Katie. Katie,
