Hello all,
life has changed as i know it. back in 1997 i took a little electricity, 480 volts and knocked off the ladder into a couple clorine tanks.
OUCH! is the inital reaction, entire upper body was hurting. there just happened to be a wife of another employee at the building at the time, she was a registered nurse. she advised me to go seek medical attention, her husband drove. no im not an electrition. just tryin to keep my job!
at the clinic i was diagnoised with first degree heart block and sinus arithmia. i woke in salt lake city, two hrs from my town. in the burn unit i was observed over night and released the next day. black and blue marks covered entire arm pit area, left arm was very painful. i was drained for about a month. within the first week i started getting these headaches. never had anything like these before. way to much over the counter meds, so i went to the dr. thats when it all started!
now from 1997 to 2003 i was a guinne pig. the highest doses attainable, with every med on the market! terrible side effects and life changed again!
in 2006 the drs did brain surgery, i have a deep brain stimulater. goes into the top of my head and down about 3 to 4 inches into the hypothalmus area. ive gone through and up to 3.5 volts every minute.
that was the second contact, the first contact, made me pass out all the time. no fun! im waiting to travel to san fran to adjust again, passing out again so device had to be shut down! not good i hate the start up again. since the surgery ive been able to cut meds but not consistantly. really sucks!
ive read a few of your posts and it seems like im writing them myself!
ive been diagnoised with cronic cluster migrains. disabled 8 yrs ago because of these things. the pain is increadible, wish i could pay more attention during an attack. there is something to this pain! ive been through a lot of pain in my life but there is nothin that comes close. not even kidney stones, drs asked me why i waited so long to come in, i said i didnt like the hospital and as often as i came in you drs and nurses thought i was an addict. another part of the story! o yea this is all covered by workers comp. but barley!
take care
