Man that really sucks. I have only had 1 migraine in my life and it's no fun at all. I hope you don't get one while waiting for the HB meds to take their effect.

Did it ever occur to her that maybe your BP was elevated because you were upset/nervous/etc about all this doctor crap you've been going through lately? It's not like your BP was HORRIBLY elevated. Last time I was at the doc mine was higher than yours and they said nothing....I was also knowingly going in for my back procedure.

Wish there was something I could suggest, but it doesnt make any sense to me that you should have to live with this. Even in litigation, you should be able to get some relief without spending big bux out of your pocket.

So sorry to hear this, sweetie...
Try to relax to avoid having another migraine (which causes by stress).
Will be keeping you in my prayers and thought. *hugs*

I dont know. I have a notebook full of phone numbers I have called or my husband has called trying to find someone who would see me. They either say its been to long since my accident (which was 11/23/08) or they say we have to pay cash up front. We find one who accepts medicaid but then they find out it was from a car accident and they say as long as it is still in litigation they cannot see me because the car insurnace should be covering it. The primary care dr's dont even want to talk to you about the pain because of the fact that it comes from a car accident which is still in litigation.

Today happens to be a good day pain wise. Some days I am in bed most of the day because it is the only way I dont hurt (most of my pain is in my neck/shoulders/upper back).

My last dr told me to take advil/tylenol.

I call my lawyer they give me numbers to call and I get the same answers from them that I get from the dr's I contact on my own. It just gets so frustrating when all I want is to get to a point where I can make the pain TOLERABLE. When this all started I wanted it to go away. Ive given up on ever being pain free again. Now I just want it to be where I can live with it.

So sorry you have to live with so much pain. I have suffered from migraines for 20 years and usually 2-4 times a month. When I am not able to take my usual migraine meds, while nursing, Excedrin migrain sems to work for me. Maybe give it atry if you haven't.

Just to clarify Im not really upset about the nurse not wanting to prescribe the migraine meds. I get why she did not want to. It can be dangerous for someone with dangerously high blood pressure(not sure mine really classified as dangerously high but whatever). Hopefully I wont get a migraine until I can get it under control and get a refill. What this is all about is that I am just tired of being in pain and feeling like nobody (in the medical profession that is) really cares or listens to what I am saying. If they could walk a mile in my shoes they may understand this is not easy. Most of all I just want my life back. When I could go out with my husband and kids early in hte morning hiking and swimming and going to the local theme parks and not get back until late afternoon or evening hours and we would be sore and tired but not in pain. The thing the nurse kept saying over and over today is you are ONLY 34 you should not have blood pressure this high. You should not be in this much pain. You should not feel so bad. Like I dont know this? I know I cannot blame everything on the car accident but a good deal of it especially most if not all the pain is from the accident. It has felt this way since the day the guy hit us. Almost instantly after the accident it hurt to move my head/neck. Yet nobody/nothing that has been done since then has really helped.
