The Cleveland Clinic doctor gave me three days’ worth of dexamethasone to try to “break” my headache. Unlike most of the meds I’ve tried before, it’s not a painkiller but a fairly heavy-duty steroid drug.
And unlike most of the meds I’ve tried before, it actually seems to WORK. My head barely hurts at all, and it will probably hurt a lot less after I eat, which I plan to do as soon as I finish this blog entry. And all this without the painkiller side effects of sedation, loopiness, etc. I mean, I love a good loopy, punch-drunk afternoon as much as the next person, but it’s pretty inconvenient when you have to do things like drive and study and other activities of daily living.

PLEASE let this be the magic elixir!!!!! Good karma!
I hope this keeps working and makes your headache go away permenantly. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Off TOPIC: How will you feel if/when a Facebook page is started for Charley Project. I can start the group then you take over……….you may get more viewers and get the missing people info out to more people? Your opinion counts; won’t start it unless you want.
If you want to start something on me behalf, by all means go ahead, but I would not have time to run it myself. I barely use my own personal Facebook account.
I just want to get more people aware of what you are doing. Thanks!
Awesome. I get SO much done when I’m on steroids (usually just a short course for severe allergies). A couple of years ago I actually made a “home management binder” with scrapbook paper and everything. It was bizarre, and I’ve never actually used the binder. I’ve also cleaned out all the kitchen cabinets while taking them (and I am a notorious sloth/slob). Hopefully this will be the trick that gets that inflammation down and all that pain GONE – yea!
It’s a start. I hope that you feel better soon and that you can get back to this crazy little thing called “life!” 🙂
