Well my dr. said that the MRI test results show that I have no tumors or abnormalities. Thank The Lord for that. My dr. told my guy that I probably had the headaches because I quit drinking....I said nooooooo I had the headache BEFORE I quit drinking. I distinctly remember it. I had a bad headache before I quit drinking, and drinking made it hurt worse and was part of the reason I quit. She said she wants to put me on antidepresants...I have been on prozac for 13 yrs....ugh!
I am screaming inside my head because there is no one that seems to be getting this...did she even read my record? My guy gets home and of course I start my yakking about how wrongggg she is and it has to be something because I am not making these headaches up. Maybe I should go to a chiropractor and get realigned I have heard that helps. My guy says to me, ever so paitently (he is incredieble) "honey, just go and see what she has to say"
He said that the way it was explained that, yes, maybe I did have a headache before I quit drinking and since the headache got unbearable so shortly after I quit that maybe, just maybe it did have to do with the fact that my body was reacting with withdrawl and makeing a small headach, huge.
He said that the dr. told him that for even up to a few months afterwards my body is still going to be reacting and I will have good and bad days. That I may be fine one minute then out of the blue have a terrible headache. Then he pointed that my headaches have started to come and go in the last weeks and he pointed out the my headaches no longer bring me to tears like they did at first.
So, maybe I am wrong, and hopefully they will go away all together. I am going to go see her tomorrow and get her to explain more. I am also going to a chiropractor just for good measure. It has been 45 without a drink. If the headaches are all that I have to deal with then so be it. My life is so much better now I cannot even put it on a scale.
Peace and Love

Cyndi, I'm sorry that your doc isn't "getting it." I am a firm believer in getting another opinion when communication breaks down with a doctor.
Hope that you are able to get some relief soon. Pain is no fun.
Cyndi, I can totally relate to your inability to communicate with your doctor. I have had CFS for way more than 10 years and many doctors have thought it was all in my "mind" (what mind?) or that I was "depressed" (I am/used to be the most not depressed person you would ever meet) but if you keep looking you will be able to find a doctor with whom you can relate. I love you and the boys and I loved reading all of your comments. They were great and you have the heart of a poet. I love you most dearly, Auntie Carol
