I had communicating shunt implanted 1988,after a car accident in 1987 in,which I hit my head on the front seat of driver side, since I was sitting behind the driver. I have experienced very bad hardache,that would not stopped with medication. The doctor stated that my condition is that I have hydrocephalus, causing fluid building upon my brain. As child I had meningitis when was two years old approximately and as a result lost my hearing in my right ear. Now,had a slip and fall accident in 2012,in which I slipped and fall hitting the back of my head.I was taken EMS to the emergency room. The neurologist doctor stated I had concussion and there is no blockage in the communicating shunt. I was given heating therapy, along with stretched exercise by a physical therapist several days a week. I’m self employed as real estate broker in which I owen my company. I recently stated a job working for an insurance company AFLAC in 2016.If was around this time period that I started experience severe headache that cause me to be placed particular disability. I’m currently seeing neurologist doctor at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. They’ve prescribed the following medications:propranolol HCL 60 mg once a day,senna 8.6 mg once a day,Doc-Q-Lace 100mg cap three time a day, Amitriptyline HCL 75mg tablet once a day at night before I go to bed and lastly Sumatriptan Succi 50 mg tablet, only take when I feel a severe headaches coming on, I only take two tablet with a two hour interval between this medication. The question I’m asking how long should continue to be on these cocktail of medications? I’ve put about fifteen- twenty lbs on
while on these medications? I still have headache everyday varying in intensity using a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being being hardly any pain and a ten being severe headache,which I just lay down and rest for the day, with any feelings to do anything.Currently I’ve headache using intensity level of 5 to 7 in severity on pain. I’m exploring using homeopathic treatment methods because nothing is working to remove the daily headaches completely.
