I am a rare and lucky person.
After a lot of putting facts together and consideration, going back on Depo-provera has turned out to be the miracle cure I had hoped it would be. I have not had a migraine in weeks. I have not had much of a headache to speak of in weeks. Small tension type headaches from work, but I know why those are there.
I am still on the topamax and coming off it and the zoloft will be the next step in seeing how much the Depo is eliminating all of my headaches, but I know for sure it is eliminating my migraines.
I am lucky. I feel blessed and happy. My questions of what to do long term still remain and I have not addressed them yet. I know being on depo has some side effects, such as calcium loss, the number one reason I came off of it in the first place and I do not know if a hysterectomy would do the same thing for me as having depo in my system does.
These are all things that still lie ahead of me. For now, I am enjoying my days of headache freedom.
I hope that everyone can find their own "cure" or at least their own cocktail that keeps the pain at bay.
