The horrific migraine I had dissipated...and made a return with a vengeance today, on the day of my session with T.
 T knows how bad of a time I'm having with it, and he knows my will for life is dwindling. My fantasies involve using a titanium spork to gouge the areas of pain in my head and neck. I see my neurologist tomorrow morning, and T asked if I could sign a release so he could talk to my neurologist. I told him I would. T then went on to say that he feels I need a team approach to handle this situation and that he believes me being admitted into the hospital would be beneficial.  It wasn't a productive session at all because I was just in so much pain. I didn't feel like talking much. And now T is going away so I won't be seeing him for 3 weeks. UGH. I'll be ok. I am ok. And if I sink into that pit of despair, I know I have my PC friends...and I can always imagine my T being here with me, and refer to his signs of caring. They are always with me. I just need to be able to access them.

UGH MUE I'm soooo sorry you are having such a horrible time right now. I really hope you get some help from the neuro and get some relief soon. I think it's great T wants to talk to your doctor...(I just have to say, is this the same T that wrote that famous email a few weeks ago?
 ) it shows how invested he has been with you lately. Good luck with your neuro appointment tomorrow...I will be thinking of you lots

MUE - so sorry things are so tough for you. I wish I had a magic wand to make that migraine go away. 3 weeks without T is rough...hang in there...we are all just a keystroke away!

So, how'd the appointment with the neurologist go?

Thanks for checking in!
My neurologist wouldn't give me any injections today which was disappointing. I was hoping for some relief, and I was literally begging him. He feels that the next step is botox treatments which would need to be approved by my insurance since it's quite costly. My appt. for the initial treatment is at the end of MAY....  He gave me a script for percocet, even though I've been taking hydrocodone. I told him that percocet usually gives me headaches. He was puzzled by that but wrote out the script anyway.  I'm a bit numb at the moment. I want to feel hopeful, but I'm afraid of feeling let down again...and the idea of waiting two months is grueling. Thanks for caring...

Sounds depressing, and a long time to wait with such pain.ouch. I used to have them bad and for days on end. Sorry your T won't be around. Does he bring his laptop with him? Can you e-mail him? My T always tells me he takes his with him and even though he may not be on it as often as when he is not on vacation, he always checks in on it at some point even if it is only every other day and I am free to e-mail him, even if it is just to say "hi" and feel more connected while he is gone.9 This is the first T that has ever offered me such a privilege. I am very careful not to abuse it, but it is nice to be able to write and say I hope your are having a good trip and wish you safe travel. He always responds with a ty and see you soon. So little means so much.
I hope the migraines let up soon. |

MUE: The migraines sound terrible! I'm so sorry. Have you ever been free of them? Was there a treatment that worked before but doesn't work now? I assume you've tried everything. I don't know much about migraines but it's hard to believe there isn't any medicine to get rid of them.
Is botox something that has good success? The end of May is a long time away. I sure hope your insurance approves it and that it helps you.
