Neck & Back Injuries After Car Accident W/ Migraine Head Posted: 04-27-05 18:38pm
I was in a car accident about 5 years ago
bad neck and back injuries but I started
having headaches shortly after they got so
bad I just about quit my job I couldnt
work and was ready to go on disability.
And to make things worse they were
everyday just sometimes worse than others
I had prob;lems with sensitivity to light
and sound occasionally had auras and felt
nauseas all the time. Anyway I went to 2
psychiatrists 2 docs and a neurologist .
They tried me on every drug out there even
botox for a while I was on elavil topomax
wellbutrin effexor xanax depakote imitrex
maxalt in other words pretty much
everything. Any way after quitting all
meds due to the cost all symptoms just
dissappeared amazing but only for about 1
year then they started coming back not so
bad this time very rarely auras but with
no pain I feel that ice pick pain only in
my left eye occasionally. Most of the
time its just ignorable although I feel
like a vampire going outside without
sunglasses is difficult and I get
irritable at times. Sometimes its worse.
I have daily pain ranging from light to
moderate. I am currently on no meds.
Just curious though I seem to have
symptoms of migraines as well as chronic
daily and also symptoms of ice pick and
transformed my doctors really never did
diagnose me I seemed to be somewhat of a
puzzle to them. Can anyone relate or
know anything about this any info sure
would be appreciated thanks forgot to
mention ive had mris catscans and all that
jazz the only thing they say is that the
accident has left me with slight damage in
my head and my memory is is a lot worse
now than it was
