Migraine

I knew when I woke up this morning that I didn't feel right. I didn't sleep really well last night; haven't slept well the last couple of nights.

I feel really depressed today. That was my first clue that I was getting a migraine. My whole body aches.

I figured out I must be getting a migraine so I took my Zomig. I don't think it is really working good enough. I have an appointment on the 28th with my neurologist. I plan on talking with him about it. It just seems like the Zomig doesn't take away all my migraine symptoms. Doesn't help that there are storms in the area today. I guess it goes along with my mood.

Sorry to hear you're so down today Heather... I am too... I am having one of my more hopeless days. My migriane started at 9 am, it's still going strong. I just took a second pain killer (after my abortive and a painkiller when it first started), and I am praying it is enough to pull the screwdrivers out of my ears and ice pick out of my left temple....

Sorry the Zomig isn't cutting it.... I have been having the same issue w/ my Relpax lately. I am thinking about changing up too. Though it would be a shame because I just refilled my Relpax. It usually kills about 70-80% of my migraine, but today it isn't making a dent. I never take TWO vicoprofen, but I just can't handle the pain today....

Here is some cake for our pity party!

I hope your Zomig starts to work and those storms stay away....

OK, Kat, I'm ready for our pity party. LOL

I took a second dose of Zomig. Still no change. Still can't shake the depressing feeling. I'm hoping that once I get to sleep I can get some relief. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day.

It just won't stop. I have to drive tonight and I really dont' want to take anything else, but i need to get some work done and it will not stop......

I think we need far more cake and alot more pitty

Cindy

Heather, Kat and Cindy...I hope everyone starts getting better! Three in one discussion is not good! Go away migraine beastie!!!

Big hugs everyone, feel better soon!!

I just took a Fioricet. It is my next course of action, I'm maxed out on Imitrex. Short of amputation, I figured it was a beter option. Amputation does have a certain appeal right now......

Cindy

Cindy, you make me laugh.

I hope we all get to feeling better. I've managed to make it through work. I know I shouldn't push myself.

I'm going to take some "happy" pills and go to bed when I get home. I soooo tired of hurting. BLAH!

Perhaps, tomorrow will be a better day. At least, tomorrow is Friday! Yeah!!

It's really too bad Fioricet has such a bad reputation and has been so misused by people. It's a great drug. I feel so much better. And what doesn't feel better I really don't care about!!

Heather I'm glad I could make you laugh. Amputation would just make me shorter and I think I would have more trouble typing.

I hope we are all feeling better sooner.

Cindy

Hey Guys--

I'd ask to come to your pity party only my pain is kinda my fault. I rode a lesson yesterday and the shoulder is unhappy with me! Funny though. The weather low is coming in now, and my headache was starting about an hour ago. Cindy--I think I'd forgotten how well pain meds could work. I got aggravated with the shoulder, took a norco 10 and got rid of the headache!!!

Tracie

Come on in and join us Tracie, the more the merrie. You can make us chuckle a bit!!

Cindy

Hey, can I join in on this pity party? I've been throwing one for myself all week and I could use the company. The beastie has set up permanent residence in my head since, oh, about NOVEMBER and just keeps getting worse. This week he decided to gobble up all my serotonin at the beginning of the week, then rear his ugliness and crank the pain up to about an 8 last night when I had already maxed out my abortives for the week.

Wahhhhh.

I'm actually feeling less pitiful now since I decided to "vacuum" it up and call my fired specialist tomorrow to see if I can go in for an IV. Not that it will do much. At least it will probably make me sleepy for a few hours and lower my pain for a little while.

I think we need more cake!!

MJ,

There is always room for you and anyone else! Guess we'll need more

I'm still not feeling too great this morning. Still feeling down and hurting. I'm waiting for my neuro's office to open so I can give them a call. I was so hoping that I would be feeling better today.

I hope everyone else is feeling better.

In theroy a 6 hour drive after dark should not help how I was feeling yesterday or my depression of the week or only 4.5 hours of sleep. But I feel pretty good this morning.

I finally got out of work at 5:15, rushed home, threw the rest of my stuff in my bad, my friend coming with us was fixing dinner (the woman is a saint), my DD of course wasn't fully packed, so we did not leave until 7:45 last night.

I drove first for about the first 175 miles. Driving relaxes me. I don't know why, but it does. I like my car and the seats. It all works. DF's driving is a bit weird. She taps her foot on the gas pedal and the car has this suttle lunge. But she drove the rest of the way and I dozed. We got in at 1:15 am.

No HA this morning, but my neck is very tight. I'll get heat on it later and it should help. I may try and find a neck massage later today, ever a chair massage would be good.

Maybe it's getting out of town that helps, I don't know. Work is depressing that's all there is to it.

I'll play around here until my DD and DF come down for breakfast and I know they are up.

Cake for all!!!

OK--I'm finally starting to feel better, so no pity for me!!

Heather, Cindy, MJ, Kat, and Tracie--things WILL improve. Maybe a few will help you all? Try to keep thinking happy thoughts, OK??

Just wanted you all to know I'm thinking of you!!
I sure hope you're feeling better today!

I got a call back from the nurse at my neuro's office. They want me to take my rescue med's or go to the ER. I'm hoping to make through the weekend without going the hospital.
