Really bummed out/fed up because my migraine started last Wednesday afternoon and still continues 5 days later. My PCP only gave me 15 pills for pain and the prescription said to take one every six hours. Too bad the pain relieving effect doesn't last 6 hours and at the end of the day I'll be out of them.

Don't have an appointment with the neurologist until Wednesday, so I just left a message for my PCP's nurse asking if he could please give me one more day's worth of pain meds. I hope he doesn't think I'm drug seeking to abuse the meds. I truly am in severe pain and need them. Oh well, if he won't give me another prescription I have no choice but to just suffer with the pain, but then there'll be no way I can make it to my volunteer gig tomorrow if I'm still in pain and have nothing for it, and I hate to call in sick again. Most people don't have a migraine for a week, but I'm known to have them even longer sometimes. It's just a drag. Just when I start feeling better emotionally I get a migraine. Trying not to be too full of self pity, but sometimes life just isn't fair.
