Migraine

So I am on my third day in a row of migraines. (not a status migraineous because I always seem to get a couple hours pain free)

My head doesn't hurt that bad anymore (about a 3) but I'm so dizzy, sooooo nauseous and I can't seem to concentrate on anything, which is not too useful when I am trying to do math (i'm an auditor).

I need to call my neuro and set up an appointment. I was originally going to have my follow up on May 26, but that was when we thought the depakote was working. Apparently it is not.

UGH! I just want to go back to bed....

I'm just really depressed today.... Maybe it's because I am in the midst of my period... Or because I feel horrible for the third day in a row....

Hi Kat,

I'm so sorry to hear that you're having such a rough time! Sending you lots of hugs and happy thoughts...



The nasty depression hits me too...usually it's part of my postdrome. But hormones can certainly make you feel down, too!

We're here for you...just do your best to get through today. Tonight, be sure that you get LOTS and LOTS of rest.

Migraine, leave Kat alone! Three days is WAY too much!!!

Kat- I always get migraines with my periods, and it's the worst- the depression, pain, water retention, irritability... it's pretty miserable! I'm sorry you're going through it right now-I hope your migraine will lift by tomorrow at least.

Let us know how you're feeling!

I'm so sorry about this. And during audit season! I hope you feel better soon and that you get in to see your doctor sooner than late May.

I'm not in great shape myself, but I wanted to stop by to give you some hugs, Kat. Hang in there - we're all here for you.

I hope you feel better soon, Kat.

i hope you feel better. I hope the stupid migraine fairy leaves you, all of you, alone and puts her magical, painful baseball bat to rest.

thanks for all the hugs and love guys! that is all I really needed yesterday ....

hugs and love all around!!!

Three days in a row can make anyone feel depressed. I think we ALL can relate to how you're feeling. Don't fight it. Let yourself feel however you feel. If you can, spend as much time in bed until you start to feel better. I know when I'm feeling down (or hormonal) I veg out in bed as much as possible. I sleep, watch stupid movies or tv shows, read, and sleep again. It's great for the spirit. Sometimes we have to call in sick because of life!

Kat-I'm so happy you're feeling better today
