More migraines
So my migraines are becoming more frequent and more powerful. Really kind of annoying. I got hit with another one on Monday night which lasted through early Tuesday evening and came back early Wednesday morning and lasted to early Wednesday afternoon. They continue to be so bad I can't really function very well. Wednesday afternoon after the second one subsided I set up an impromptu appointment with my doctor's office and went in (the appointment was literally the only one they could squeeze in and was for ten minutes after I called them - good thing I live right around the corner). He pretty much agreed that I have sudden-onset non-aural migraines with an undiagnosed trigger. All that really means is I've only been having migraines for a little while and we don't know what's causing them. He did give me some meds. Normally I despise meds, preferring to let my body handle its own issues. BUT, in this case I'll bend a bit. Not vomiting and actually being able to move around without upsetting the delicate balance of pain vs pain management is WELL worth giving in on some meds. And, indeed they work, very well I might add. Aside from making me light headed and ever so slightly weak in the joints... the meds work very very well. I'm not seeing purple plaid elephants or anything... which is good... but I sure can concentrate better at work! I have an MRI scheduled for early tomorrow evening (5:45-ish). They want to take rediometric images of my BRAINS! Hope they learn a lot. Lord knows I will. I want to see a 3D representation of my own gray-matter! AWESOME! Let's cross our fingers!post a comment
