   You are so right that neurology in general basically is voodoo. I don't know if I've mentioned in my other posts here, but I've had a number of procedures for my headaches (spenopalatine ganglion blocks). Once when we asked the doctor to explain how ...

   Thanks for that very enlightening response, mike. It's interesting that you brought up the appropriateness (or rather inappropriateness) of these meds for migraines, and the same generally applies to clusters. In fact, I was in pain management once ...

   Another general thanks to the responses! Esme, I wasn't asking for medical advice, sorry if that was confusing :) I just thought it might be helpful for anyone who was interested to see, especially those who work either on the floor in neuro or in th...

   Esme, you'll have to forgive me... I have no idea what you're talking about with "offering legal advice"??? I wasn't asking for any... not trying to be combative, I just really don't have the slightest idea which post or part of my post you're referr...

   Good thing being a drug seeker can't account for my beet-red left eye, the tearing, and swelling and drooping, or the fact that I can't breathe through my left nostril during an attack. I'm very sorry you were turned into a cynic somewhere along your...

   Believe me-- that is a concern. I gave up my hopes of obtaining a PhD in Anthropology long ago as a result of my headaches, knowing that I could never complete the program. I was a music major once, too, but had to stop playing entirely because the v...

   Thanks for the response! I think I should probably clarify a few things, just to be as clear as possible. Yes, I am very aware of certain members of the general public (i.e. drug [ab]users/addicts) using the ER just for a fix. This is exactly why I'...

   First of all, forgive me, as I'm sure this will be a long post. Also, it's my first... so hello. To be clear, as the subject states, I am a patient and not a nurse. But given my history I'm thinking more and more that being an RN would be a particula...
