I have to speak to DS1's neuro liasion nurse tomorrow, to feed back how he's doing following an occipital nerve injection a couple of weeks ago. Quick summary - he had a ruptured brain aneurysm last year, aged 9, and since then has had bad headaches most days. The reason I feel a bit awkward about chatting to them tomorrow is that he has now had 3 different types of neuro medication; Gabapentin, propanalol and currently topiramate, plus an injection of steroid into the occipital nerve, and he STILL complains of headaches most days. He doesn't think there's been any improvement.
I'm a bit at my wits end, and wonder what on earth they must think of us. I'm embarrassed to tell them that this, as well, hasn't worked - I've got visions of them thinking I've got Munchhausers by proxy or something! Believe me, I know from pretty awful experience what a wonderful place it is and the quality of the staff - but I'm quite nervous about admitting failure yet again. Can anyone reassure me?
