For the past 6 weeks minus 3 days I have had a headache, ranging from mild and manageable to migraine awful curl up and die. The day the headaches started was Oct. 3rd and was also my first time in church in more years than my 2yr old can count....maybe it's the devils work. Well I have been to my doctor twice, the ER once, and laid up in bed many more times. As nice as my PCM actually is, she is of no real help to me besides a referral to a neurologist. She was able to give me two shots however when I went to see her, toradol and phenegran which helps keep my intense head pains away for about a day and any relief is welcome to me. So I wait on this referral knowing there really isn't much I can do besides call The Marine husband and beg him to come home so I can lay in my dark quiet cool bed and know the kids aren't downstairs unattended. I started taking Inderal recently in hopes of preventing migraines from coming every.single.flipping.day but so far no change. I know I would have more medicine options if I would just stop nursing the kids, but I practice child lead weaning and do not wish to wean them before they are ready for it...although if faced with no other choice between them nursing and me feeling like myself again I would like to think I have given them a great start and gently wean them.
So now I am not the person I normally am. I am beyond zombie tired, lay on the couch with sun glasses on, my kids watch WAY too much tv recently and I have been a horrid housekeeper/chef all because of my flipping stupid head and it's desperate need to kill me slowly. I wish I could get back to being myself again....and soon. Migraines suck...
I am waiting for my insurance to send me a letter telling me who I can see neuro-wise around here so I am just waiting...I started taking the inderal but after what happened yesterday I am afraid to keep taking it... I had a sudden extreme stomach attack like enough for another ER visit and so the doctor there said it wasn;t from the inderal but I dont know...
