It's been months since my last post (a year?). Since Labor Day, migraines have controlled my life. I've been in the emergency room 2X. My biggest problem initially was that I'm either allergic to the meds or they work once, maybe twice. I was referd to a specialist and the treatment usually works. Plus, I started botox (I get my next dose Aug 22. Most seem to be hormonally triggered - which sucks because I'm peri-menopausal so there's no predicting my cycle & my gyn doesn't want to give me hormones due to my blood pressure.
All of this has sent me into depression. I've had to put off getting my license until I'm more confident in my ability to get to safety if one hits while driving.
There are times when it's taken everything I have to get up & dressed. If it weren't for my work with the local MHA, I'm not sure I'd leave the house. Every time I get one, I just want to put an ice pick in my head - it would hurt less. Again - severe depression at times. I've usually been manic, so this is "new" for me. I
never thought something like this could affect me the way it has. I feel so alone.
