I am new to this curse, and I with no insurance. I finally, after 3 weeks of nightly hell forkrd over $250.00 to a nuerologist. He has put me on Imitrex injections (Ill have to remortagage my house for) and a calcium blocker. But if I use this tonight at my 1:00 am visit from satan, and it helps I will consider it my salvation! I have only been suffering every night for 3 weeks, but one more night might push me over the edge! The past week I got so scared I thought I had a brain tumor, or an anurism and expected to die during an attack (I actually prayed for God to make it quick). My vision in the eye side of the attack has been blurred and droopy for 2 days now even though I'm not in pain. Is this normal? Will my once 20/20 vision return? The attack last night was so intense I fear permanent damage. I would like to add this illness is no joke, and those of us who suffer from this deserve sympathy and compassion! Right now I dread the night and become so anxious and nervy as the sunsets, awaiting the torture that is waiting in the darkness to consume me. Pray for me, that this treatment works. I will pray for all of us!
