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.

I had a colonoscopy last year and drank GoLytely for it. They told me I could add in a sugar free Crystal Light package to make it taste better, so you could check with them if you can do that. I found the hardest part was it was just a lot of liquid to drink and it took me so long that I was up all night doing the prep. The GoLytely itself was kind of gross, but not awful. I hope they figure out what's going on. Was this after travel to the Dominican Republic? On a related note I got giardia in the Dominican Republic several years ago. Fortunately there was a medication for that. I hope you feel better soon!
