Dead Man Walking ~ When all else fails

Well...i've been in the hospital for most of the month getting DHE, SoluMedrol, and a whole host of other drugs. Been to MHNI 4 times. Tried all kinds of drugs that just don't work or is just to be used temporarly (like DHE IV). I've had several different nerve blocks and Radio Frequency. Whats a person supposed to do when NOTHING works and the headaches continue relentlessly ?
Going back to MHNI on December 29th to give them another shot at stopping or 'controlling' my headaches.
Running out of hope 
I'd rather live in the hospital and die slowly on DHE or SoluMedrol than to be out suffering daily (and nightly). This sucks ... this is not a life

God Bless you man... I will be praying very hard for you. I have just learned about this site and was relieved to find people who understand. I can not phathom your pain at the moment. I have said it over and over but I can only tell you what is helping me. Mine have been 2 weeks strong and Oxygen has been a god send. 10 min with a 10 to 15 flow rate helps the milder ones. 30 min top for the really bad ones.
I will pray for you and I hope everyone else will do the same tonight. You will feel better tomorrow. Pray it and believe it.
It is very emotional to hear about you fellow clusterheads pain.

Unsolved,
Hang in there. Just when you think you can't take no more you prove to yourself you have more power over the beast than it has over you. NEVER give up, at any cost. There WILL be better days; trust me.
Peace,

Damn. I wish I had something better but now is a good time to work on my technique. You have nothing to lose. I will work if you keep at it. I works only if you us it DURING the attack. Test it anytime though. This is not a prevenative but an abortive. Good luck.

Damn Bro, I know your history, and i am sure you feel like you are against the wall. God how i pray that somehow you will find some relief. I know you've tried all of the medically accepted remedies, maybe it is time to try the unaccepted remedies. I hope you find the courage to try that method ( shrooms )!
Good luck, Patrick

Unsolved,
Try the alternative - that's what I'm going to do. My meds quit working also and I'm at the end of my rope too. Part of it is holiday depression, but a big part of it is just plain disgust of not being able to get anything to work. I've ordered the treatment and am going to try it. I suggest you do the same thing. What the hell have we got to lose? 
Good vibes going out to you
Hugs BD

Unsolved,
I'm so sorry to hear that things are so bad right now. I also have felt that I am at the end of my rope for medications. Next stop - fungus. I have nothing to lose at this point. Think about it.
Praying for you...
