I am a patient (not a medical professional!) who has been dealing with hemicrania continua since 2009. This causes constant head and facial pain on one side of the head 24/7. I am looking into occipital nerve stimulation as a treatment as I have tried everything else.

My baby is 7 today
My little girl turns 7 years old today! We are having her party tomorrow. Normally this is such a wonderful happy time for me. I love making my kids special character cakes and decorating for their party. Unfortunately I am kind of dreading it because the thought of being around people talking and expecting me to talk, and kids being noisy has me wondering if I can make it through without going insane from pain. On top of that last night I had terrible abdominal pain after taking my pain medication. This is not the first time it has happened. I have done research on this and I feel like it is a sphincter of Oddi spasm but of course I am not a doctor so cannot diagnose myself. I am just afraid this chronic pain medication use might be doing something to my liver and pancreas. Ugh, it has definitely turned into a love/hate relationship between me and the pain medication. I just want to be off medication period.
