Hi,
I have recently started suffering from headaches (apparently Migranes) I am taking sandomigran for prevention and panadiene forte for the pain, I also have tablets for the nausea too.
I have a neurologist apt in two weeks, but I need to take my panadiene forte everyday to keep the pain bearable. I have had a CT scan and everything is fine, so I don;t have a tumour or anything like that.
I have to take 2 PF tablets at the onset (vision disturbances) to make them bearable otherwise nothing works. This means that I am looking at 4 to 6 tablets a day. Each tablet has 500mg of paracetomal and 30mg of codeine.
I'm just concerened that this is too much? But I don't know how else to deal with this pain. My GP doens't really want to do anything else and has told me that I have to live with it until I see the neurologist. I'm going back today to ask for more PF as I am almost out of it.
As I am a mother and wife, fulltime student and work part time in hospitality I can't afford to "sleep it off" each time I get a headache which is everyday.
