First prescription
I don't take any prescription medication. I do take some over the counter allergy medicine but that is it. After talking with my doctor today about some of the allergy like symptoms I have been having she suggested a new route of treatment. Her impression is that I am not having allergy attacks but am rather having what is called "cluster headaches". She prescribed me a medicine to take that may help with these headaches. I am not anxious to have to put them to the test because that means I am having an attack but it would be nice to know if they truly are cluster headaches or if I am indeed experiencing an allergic reaction. I don't think it changes the symptoms I am experiencing to know the diagnosis but the two issues are treated very differently. The only thing I take daily aside from the over the counter allergy medicines is a couple of vitamins each day. I am not really very good at remembering to take medicines. Thankfully, the prescription medicine is not something I need to take every day.
