my dear july, im sorry but ur husband sounds like a real ass. First of all Im not real familiar with alot of the meds u have talked about but , i am familiar with daily headaches. since i was 23 yrs old i have gotten migraines , maybe 2-4 a month controlled by medicine mostly. Over the years , thanks to babies, hormones, age, heriditary, and stress at age 37 I now get what are called transformed migraines daily. They are headaches that suck, Not enough to knock me on my but for days like the old ones but enough to want to send me to bed or not put up with a whole lot. So I went back to the Nerologist and he put me on Topamax and it has worked wonders for ME. Not to say that it works for everyone. However I only get a headache 2-3 times a week and they are very manageable. I am alos on blood pressure medicine as my blood pressure has recently become high too.
Please ask your husband to go online and do some research on migraines, and vicodin, and have him look up transformed migraines, among other types of migraines. He sounds incredibly ignorant to me. People can have headaches for days and days, they get sick, they vomit , they have vision changes, they have muscle weakness. They are caused by stress, hormones, heriditary, foods, smells things inthe air, sinuses. Im so angry at your husband right now. He has no idea what he is talking about. He definatly should not be holding any of your meds. You are a grown up , not a child , you dont need his permission to take care of yourself. He isnt helping you, hes hurting you.
My heart breaks for you, You do not sound like an addict to me .YOU are NOT an Addict. You are in pain and need relief. Unless you have been there , I guess people just dont get it. High blood pressure can also be a contributor to daily headaches as can horrible stress like you are under with your daugther and husband. I am so sorry you feel alone at times, but please know that you are not. I may not know you but my heart goes to you and I will and can be here for you at any time if you would just like to vent.Please consider seeing a different doctor, not just a nurse practioner, and also having tests like mri and cat scans of your head done. These are very important !!!and the severe symptoms you are experiencing should not be dissmissed by your husband or anyone else. You have to take care of yourself first, no -one else will do it for you, besides you wonderful dog needs you as do the patients that you give yourself too. Wheneve I have taken Vicodin in the past for my migraines I have also experienced rebound headaches as well, so that may not be the right med for you either. Please consider the advice I give you and Also PLEASE give YOURSELF a break. You sound like a really good person
take care, vikki
