Thanks for thinking of me @LadyShadow I'm doing a little better. I have had fewer migraines the last week. I think it is from stopping my SAD lamp. I think that we were getting enough natural light that the extra was too much. I've had headaches more like every 2-3 days than daily. Nurtec works pretty well for me. I have another med to try as well and then I'll get one prescribed and will have to get patient assistance as I'm sure they are extremely expensive. I am still having nausea but it's a little less since it is sometimes caused by migraines (and often not). I'm sipping ginger ale as I'm typing this. I had asked to try prescription Pepcid (famotidine) and it's ok but I don't think it is really solving the problem. I am going to keep trying it for several more weeks though and if it doesn't improve I'll go back to the doctor..

Bipolar wise I'm doing ok. I'm tired a lot and waking with nightmares frequently. My anxiety is better than it was, especially when I remember my PRN doses of Seroquel but it has a ways tot go. But I'm definitely not badly depressed or manic so that's fine.


I do have hope that this will improve which is a lot better than I'd been feeling.
