Migraine

I'm writing to you all as I know you are really the only ones who can understand how I'm feeling, and I guess I just need to vent. More than anything I want to vent now while things are somewhat minor so that I don't let them snow ball out of proportion!

The last six weeks have been amazing! My migraines have been minimal and I have been back at work and loving it. However, as many of you know, my insurance company has said no to Zofran, Vimpat and Nubain in spite of lots of documentation from my doctor.

Add to this, I have found myself getting droopy. I have had problems in the past with depression and take prozac with great success, but I do well remember how depression feels and am fighting going back to that place! I have so much to be grateful for and happy about but I'm just plain moody. Things that wouldn't normally bother me are getting under my skin; I'm wanting to sleep more than normal; etc...

While I'm not losing hope and have a call into my doctor, I thought I'd send out an SOS for prayers and support from my forum friends.

Thanks a lot all!!

Cyn -

You have support and love in spades! You have been doing so very well and it has been a joy to hear you. It is really great that you are reaching for support now instead of waiting! You've come a long way and I'm confident you'll get through this too - but know we are with you!

Cyn,

Watching your progress over the last few months has been both amazing and inspiring. I'm so excited to hear that your Migraines are becoming minimal, that's fantastic!

Do you think it would help to talk to a therapist for a session or two? I don't see a therapist but I keep a diary on my computer and I just brain storm or vent or complain, just to get it all out of my system. Maybe that would help?

I'm sending prayers your way! Hang in there, you always have us

Thanks Megan and Laura!

It's so wonderful to have forum friends to support me! I do have a therapist who I see periodically and I've written him an email SOS. However until I hear from him the idea of journalling is a great one! I've done so in the past and really benefitted it from it! Don't know why I didn't think of it this time!

I know I've also spent way too much time in bed or on the couch which just isn't healthy for me emotionally! So I've contacted some friends who are coming over tomorrow night to watch a movie and play games. I'm also borrowing my brother's WII to see if it is something I might enjoy doing on my own and will be worth the investment for me to get one.

As I write this, I am reminded where I was a year ago. Boy, has life been good to me. I walked some really hard stuff with my migraines, but it led me on a journey to hope and I need to keep reminding myself of that!! This isn't a setback; it's a hiccup!! and while hiccups are irritating, they do go away!!

Thanks for listening!
