Since Marcia and Budwiser replied, the new medicine my wifes neurologist precribed, oxycodone has helped relieve some of the headache pain. He also prescribed gabapentin (neurontin) to replace depakote for seizure. The very first oxycodone pill did an execellent job of pain relief. I only hope it continues to help. I hope addiction does not become a problem, but right now we welcome the pain relief. This medicine seems to be a upper for her also, making her seem to be in better spirits.
Her hands shake badly especially in the mornings and she explains that her insides feel the same. She takes xanax and effexor for anxiety and depression but struggles with being nerveous every day. She has been so down and seeing this has taken a toll on me also. I want so much for her to improve. Another problem she has is leg pain in her lower calf, mainly left leg but tonight in both legs. I have noticed a trend that when the head pain goes down, the leg pain seems to replace it. She is on zetia and pravastatin for choloestrol. I wonder if they could produce the leg pain. She is on so many medicines and feels so poorly, I sometimes think about encouraging her to stop most of the meds and see if things improves. I realize this is this might not be smart but we are so flustrated with her low quality of life especially after the stroke and head trauma that we are getting desperate. Kensr
