So the Advil and water seemed to have done the trick for today. But I have had a headache of one type or another since last Friday. So you can see why my previous post was snarky. I had the fear that on the 7th day of the month I would have to take my fourth migraine relief pill (oh, so wonderful prescription relief), or half my allotment for a month. Panic!
I go back to the chiropractor on Friday for a follow up. Bring back that bobble head feeling. I need to schedule a follow up with the neurologist and discuss whether the preventative medicine is working (seems not, but I won't jump to conclusions). But I want to give the chiropractor and earlier bed time a try for a bit first.
At the moment I feel decent and would normally stay up and get stuff done, but in the interest of heading off migraines triggered by less than 8 hours sleep (how sad is that) I am going to go to bed.
I take sweetE to swim lessons in the morning, so I have to get up early (6:30). Okay, some people wouldn't consider it early, but I think anything before 8 is early. Have I mentioned that I am not a morning person? So this whole bedtime thing is messing with my world. But a pain free world is a happy world.

god, i am so with you, ped. i feel good right at this moment, but i have also had headaches for the last week or so. every damn day.
i can take vicodin if it's really bad, but mostly that just gives me cotton mouth and constipation and doesn't really help the pain that much.
i'm so sorry.
laurie - I have percocet from the last kidney stone in the medicine cabinet. It is tempting, but from experience I know it doesn't work great on headaches. Bummer. 7 days in a row with some kind of headache or another.
Have they ever given you Inapsine?
RC - No, I take Amerge to get rid of them (in the triptan family). I do have a prescription on stand by for "rescue" relief when all else fails. I have to get someone to take me in to nurse treatment and it is an injection or an IV, I don't know which. And then I am essentially knocked out. I haven't felt I really needed to go that far yet.
The problem is the frequency of them lately. And other non-migraine headaches. Kind of makes for a miserable existence.
