My ch started a wee and a half ago and i have seen 3 doctors, 1st one said i had a sinus infection, gave me anti-biotics, 800mg ibuprofen, and tylox. The next doctor said I had a ch gave me imitrex pills. They didn't even take the edge off. I had a ct scan. Normal. Next doctor said i had allergies and an eye infection. He gave me predinsone and a shot of solu-medrol. It hurt like hell. I think the pain of the shot took my mind off the ch. I think it is gone now, but my problem is that i don't think i have allergies or a eye infection, or a sinus infection. I don't think they should have given me that shot. I don't think my doctors know what they are doing. I am very frustrated because if and when this comes back full swing, i might have the same problems. It also took my bawling in the waiting room yesterday to get the doctor to see me an hour and a half after my appointment. Has anyone else had this kind of thing happen? They mad me feel like i was a baby for complaining. Like, it's just a headache - quit your bitching. My boss is none too pleased with me either. Can you be fired over missing too much work because of a ch? Today was my first day back and my boss was a total witch to me, and i know it's because i missed 3 days this week. I just couldn't function. I drove with one hand over my eye getting my son to school! I will stop babbling now, i just wanted to vent and ask everyone about what i feel is my mis-diagnosis. Thank you!
