April & May :: Resolution Round-Up

[faeriesfolly]

As far as my migraines go... no real progress. Shitty reactions to first attempt at a daily medication. A month and a half off of medication and I find that I had the same amount of migraines on the medicine as I did off of it. (One month ON: 10 migraines/4 headaches/didn't bother to count the days with "pressure") (A month and a half OFF: 15

I have a bad memory I suppose but remind me, have you always had migraines and they are just getting worse or this is fairly new?

[faeriesfolly]

They've been getting steadily worse since I started getting them around 8 years ago. But this is the first time I've sought treatment beyond just suffering through them.

ok, so not to sound like a debbie downer, you are sure they are just migraines correct? nothing worse? one of the attorney at work gets like 5 migraines a week and has is on imatrex and takes shots when they get really bad but she was also recently diagnosed with MS. Not sure if the two are related though.

Everything in my bloodwork and stuff comes back normal. I haven't had an MRI or a CAT scan though so, of course, part of me is like IT'S A TUMOR. Mostly because they have progressively gotten worse.

But they are mostly tied to weather changes/pressure or hormone changes. So typically...that just means migraines. Chronic migraines, but yeah.

And no worries about debbie downer. That's basically half my day in my head, so I'm familiar. ;)

YOU ARE A READING MACHING

So far... one migraine over 7 days. So that's something? Maybe? I'm trying to be hopeful. I also don't feel very...different. Not recommended to drink though, so that is lame. But I figure one every now and again (like Shore Leave) would be fine.

The funny thing about the reading is most of that was April and both months were "slow" reading months for me. lol.

Sidenote: Cait and I are rewatching SPN. Well...some of it for me will just be *watching* once we get into season 4/5. Right now we've just gotten to 1x03.
