Yeah. I sure know what you mean about hating the
pain. I loathe despise hate spit on the pain.

That said, you've got to get off the codeine.
There's an extremely good chance it's causing
your shadows. If you post more information,
maybe we can help you. My number 1 suggestion
is Verapamil as a preventive, if you haven't
tried it. You can start at, say, 120 mg and ramp
up to 200, 240, 360, or even 480. Give it several
days at each level if you still get the H/A's. Also,
Verapamil can take 2 weeks or so to kick in fully,
so give it time. If you're episodic, you can
do a Prednisone taper.
