I saw my pdoc Monday. She added another PRN dose of 12.5 mg Seroquel. That is actually helping I think (2 doses in). It means I'm getting something for anxiety about every 3-4 hours until my bedtime meds start to work. She doesn't want to make more changes until I see my family doctor about my physical health issues which are nearly daily migraines, nausea (beyond the migraines), back pain I can't explain, just not feeling good but not depressed, and swallowing difficulty I'll probably push to another appointment because I'm going in asking a lot. I haven't been in with an unwell visit in years. He does help a lot online but I've just not needed a sick visit in so long.
I thought it would easily be a week before I got in but I have an appointment tomorrow. I'm going to be so tired; this has been a busy week. Monday was 8 hours from leaving home until I got home from my pdoc in the big city. Tuesday was 5 hours round trip therapist and store. Today was 4 fillings. And my family doctor is back to the city where my therapist is. But hopefully I'll have some answers.
Both my psychiatrist and therapist have questioned if the migraines are hormonal. After my hysterectomy I had terrible migraines, much worse than this (because I am on magnesium now and am better at handling them when they start). I've been being checked every 6-12 months by the breast clinic to see if I'm showing signs of menopause because I need to be in menopause to go on a medication I need to reduce my risks. It's hard to get clear answer because of my hysterectomy but as of December things were all over the place and not showing any clear signs. But it may be time for another round of labs just in case. We'll see.
Has anyone seen @ raspberrytorte ? How about @ JaneOnceMore ? @ MuddyBoots ? Haven't seen much from any of them recently.
