Pregablin
I had my doctors appointment on Monday which I usually have every 2-3 weeks. As I explained in previous posts, I was told to increase my intake of the eletriptan tablets to see if it helps, which it didn't. Taking more of the eletriptan made my legs like jelly, felt even more light-headed and managed to get my words even more muddled up than usual. All of this would of been ok if it had some sort of effect on my migraines but as it sadly didn't so I have decreased the amount of eletriptan I take back to 2-3 times a week.
When I went to see the specialist at the hospital a month ago, he went through all the medication that I had previously been on and noted that there was three which infact I haven't tried. These are Pregabalin, Zonisamide and Lacosamide. I was prescribed the pregablin and I'm going to start taking that tonight at 50mg for the first two days, then 100mg and then finally on to 150mg. I've also been so stiff and sore with my back and neck and I was told that pregablin will help with the neck pain which is good! I've been struggling to walk about today and just feel totally drained, think I could sleep for days! I'm going to try and book another sports massage as that did help last time with the neck pain.
I'm also still waiting for my letter through from a doctor in Glasgow that does botox privately and after watching the One Show last night where they explained about chronic migraine and botox, I'm actually looking forward to getting it! The link is below if you missed it, its about 15 minutes into it.
