Hi, all. I have to call in to work- AGAIN! I took half a day off yesterday because my son's had a fever all week. I woke up with a headache and it just got worse. By the time we were in the dr.'s office about 2:30, my headache had turned into what I thought was a migraine; I had to pace to deal with it! So I went to see my psych. dr. (just next door) and the nurse said it wasn't to do with my recent meds change and take Advil. Advil wasn't gonna touch this! I went back to my primary dr's office (same as my son's) and saw a different dr. (Luck of the draw!) They gave me a shot of something- strong Advil they said??- and had my lay down for 20 minutes in the room in the dark. (My 10-year-old was very good waiting in the room with me and being quiet. ) When they came back, I felt MUCH better. Now, I've got a sore throat, but no fever. They gave me a note for two days off. Body was so achey after my headache went away- I guessed it was before, too, but I hadn't noticed. So I have a dr's note and feel like crashing into the bed.... but I feel guilty for calling in. I tend to "work through" being mildly ("mildly") ill and then get worse. Here I am up at 1 a.m. posting because I went to bed at 8! (Gotta go back to sleep for a bit, huh?) Oh- good news is that I can now go to get my blood work done. Needs to be done 12 hours after I took my Depakote- but it is for other things as well.
