I take vicodin for migraines probably 4 times a year. I fell asleep and now it is better. The pain is mostly gone but I can still feel the migraine hanging in there if that makes sense.
Falling asleep is bad because I won't be able to fall asleep until late. But I'll deal. My kitty is cuddling with me and that always helps. I missed both of them while I was gone (for a whopping 24 hours).
I read my colonoscopy instructions. Has anyone ever used GoLightly? I remember patients drinking it but have no clue otherwise as the dr. down here does a totally different prep. I know I'd have to do this in about a year anyway as I'm 43 and they are recommending colonoscopies start at 45 but I'm still not looking forward to anything but finding out what is wrong with me.
I'm frustrated today. I really hoped he would say "Oh that's a common Domican Republic illness and here's a medicine that fixes it". Guess not.
But tomorrow will be better. No more migraine, no more driving, just a day at home.

Thank goodness for the kitties!

Do you think there is any chance you are straining your neck when you drive for that length of time?
I am asking because I have been having migraines. I saw my chiropractor today. My neck was locked up, esp on the same side as the migraine. She did some "trigger point release" on my neck and up into the base of my skull. She could initiate the pain again by activating certain trigger points in my neck. Once she'd gotten the trigger points to release, my vision straightened out and the migraine activity eased up, disappearing.
I have found some of my migraines seem to be triggered by tighness and trigger points in my neck/shoulders. Just a thought.
Yes, I have used GoLytely in the past as a prep for colonoscopy. It was very gentle. (Because I am on long-term pain meds, I have to do2 days of prep instead of one.)
I am glad you are well on your way to getting some answers. I have been very concerned about you.
i hope you feel better asap!
Love and Prayers!
