oxycodone for my headaches

Hi All,
Ok i've been wanting to write about my issues with pain for a long time and get some advice so here goes...

I'm a very healthy 32 year old male! ever since i was 4 years of age i have suffered from awful headaches and migraines - I remember at the age of 13 thinking i would not be alive pass the age of 17 due to the pain being related to a brain tumor that's how bad it's been... My Father, his sister, and my grand mother all suffer from these as well... So since i was a kid I've been taking acetaminophen with codeine ( over the counter) and Advil migraine pills to deal with the pain... My migraines have always come with the weather - i can tell you if it's going to rain because out of no where i get sick... Anyway last year i talked to my DR and he sent me for an MRI... everything came back normal.... we started every migraine med on the market... he even asked me to stop taking any and all meds for 1 month which i did and the pain was still there... I don't drink, i don't do drugs, i don't smoke... So he put me on Demeral and it worked BUT i felt very light headed and it didnt take the pain away it was more like i still felt the pain but didnt care... I went back to his office and give him back the pills and said i can't take these as i need something that will take away the pain and make my act normal LOL... so he gave me oxycodone 5MG IR... for the first time in my life a pill that took away the pain and didnt make me feel off and i was able to function.... I have a really great Doctor whom i talk to once every few weeks to let him know how I'm doing... 3 weeks ago i took the last bottle of acetaminophen with codeine and flushed them down the toilet!

Here is my ISSUE - There is such a sitgma if you take Oxycondone from the public... and it's because of people who abuse these meds! Shame on people going to the DR for the only reason of getting high... you have no idea what that dose to people like me who need this because of the chronic pain i have... it's so bad that i'm always reashering myself that I'm not an addict! hell i take one pill a day... sometimes i go 4 or 5 days without any pain so i don't have to take anything....

Here is the odd thing, I have a bad knee ( hockey) and a few other growing pains but the Oxy doesn't take the pain away from that!!! it only works for my headaches...

So to the world out there NO i have never crushed up a pill,NO i don't drink, YES i would trade a bad leg or something else to never have the pain in my head anymore!!!! To the Pharmacist who gives me a look when i get my RX get a life! I have pain that i wish i didn't have... i wish a normal pill would take away the pain, i wish i didnt have this pain, i wish i didnt have to take a pill that people have abused! I haven't abused anything... I'm just a a guy who can't live with the awful headache pain - I have tried EVERYTHING and if there was something else i would do it in a heartbeat...

Anyway i would love your thoughts on this... have you taken or do you take Oxy for your head? if so what should i look for in the coming year being on this drug? since my headaches are triggered by weather does anyone have any suggestions...

I feel so much better that i've written this - it's hard to tell people you take this as they think your an drug addictView Thread
