went to my Nero Monday and he has basically said that i need to go to the doctor to get the medication ( injection, steroids ect..) so i do as he said and the doctor now says to me why have you booked in for an emergency appointment... well because i don't want to wait 2 weeks to get some medication.

Anyway the doctor says i don't no why you have been prescribed all this medication for a headache 'injections' this is far to much do you know how much this is costing the nhs for a headache. I thought in a minute I'm gonna wack this guy if he says 'headache' in a condescending tone one more time.

I wanted oxygen strait away but the neuro insisted that i try other things first so i take his advice and the doctor is saying this is not what i need at all.

all I'm doing is trying to make my clusters a little easier and Ive got this constant battle against the neuro and the doctor. Now I'm stuck with just 2 injections that will last me what a day? because the doctor doesn't want the nhs to faulk out more money because of a 'headache'

anyways rant over but i might just book and appointment with the neuro and say i want oxygen!! simple as that. fed up of this, why cant they just do things the easy way instead of spending years trying different medicine that doesn't work and keep me in pain for longer than i should be.

Thanks. I'm fed up of getting dragged from pillar to post. I have lost all faith in doctors. I'm going to try these injections anyway and if they don't work i might just go and say lisen i don't want steroids i don't want injections, nasal sprays or any of that stuff i just want something that i no will work and has worked for so many people. I'm not trying to say that the other methods of treatment wont work but at the end of the day i would rather try something that has the highest success rate first rather than the lowest.

I'm getting more and more worked up the more i think about it. but sometimes I'm just too nice to the doctors and don't have the guts to say this is what i want and i want it NOW!

Haylz,  if you are talking about Imigran injections...yes, those can be expensive.   Oxygen is not.  Also as a preventative many of us use Verapamil and it too,  is not expensive.

Yep i think i will just take somebody with me to the Neuro and they can tell them that i want 02 because every time i go in there they undermine me maybe because I'm a young girl and think that i don't no whats best for my own well being.
