Hi, I’m new and this is my first post. Am diagnosed C - PTSD (33 year marriage to ex husband who was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder). Also learning to live with chronic pain. (Fractured spine and neck in horseback riding accident).
Am working with an excellent MD. I respect her very much. Currently take: Alprazalam 1mg each night and Valium 10mg daily. Am on Gabapentin 1200mg daily. This winter I fell on ice and hit my head and was diagnosed with concussion. During the diagnostic work-up, the ER physician noted a new, well-calcified, healing fracture at C-1. Neck is fused from C-3 to C-6.
Since the concussion, have episodic headaches that are severe. My physician will not give me meds to manage pain because she’s concerned about my Benzodiazepine doses. (All prescribed by a prescribing psychiatrist for C - PTSD).
Any and all input is greatly appreciated. These intermittent headaches are horrible and I wish there was a safe pain med to help.
