Headache Clinics

Jonathan

In Canada, they have a 3 step approach to NDPH. First they give you Gabapentin, then amatryptaline and then Prozac. If that doesn't work then they say you have 'Pain associated Disability Syndrome' which is a fancy way to say it is all in your head because you are comfortable with pain. In the inpatient program they have tons of protocols to try and have great success with them.

Good Luck!

I had to have an EEG, EKG/ECG, lots Blood Work, lots Urine Tests, MRV, MRI and a MRA before I get into the hospital. I only have the MRI, MRV and MRA to do and then I can go. I have to do all of the test at home becuase the public health care (OHIP) in Ontario, Canada will only cover them at home and they are a LOT of money. If I can't get the MRIs soon we will try to get them covered by our private insurance and if not, we will pay for them.

I really encourage you to go if possible jacee, it really gets your hopes up and you know that there is someone that really understands what is going on.

Good Luck!

Ya know what I mean. trying anything to get rid of daily ehadaches is worth it. But I am scared at the same time. I cant make that trip over and over for future check ups, I do not have that kinda money.. My neuro is over 2 hrs away from em now and thats apain in the BUTT..

I did get some information from them i n the mail.. I will look into it more.

Thanks for the information and encouragement.

Good luck to you Jonathan when you do finally get to go.!! I truly wish all that go the best of luck.
