Back to tension headaches!
I got to see my neurologist on Monday. He felt around, listened to what my other Drs had said, then said it’s definitely not migraines.
He believes they are tension headaches due to spasms, not spasticity in my neck and shoulders.
He told me to stop taking amitripaline, and instead added tizanidine for reducing spasms at night and meloxicam for reducing inflammation in the morning.
He asked why I hadn’t been using ibuprofen or Aleve. I reminded him I used to have bad gastritis and was told not to. But it’s been about ten years so we are risking it and taking the meloxicam.
Unfortunately he didn’t receive my MRI or the report. I did think ahead and got the mri on disc so I gave it to him. I got the report now and need to send it in.
he ordered me to go back to exercise class and get some physical therapy done.
Out of the blue he asked if I had sleep apnea. I told him I was just diagnosed and had a mouth device. He said get a cpap.
Since my neuro isn’t covered by insurance I need to get physical therapy and the cpap through my primary doc but can’t see him until Aug. 22.
But I’ve been feeling much better. The new meds are working. When I feel I’m getting tight I eight use the hot pad or the massage gun.
And I got to exercise class both days!!
Thank you for all the kind words and prayers!
