Default Finally feel like im turning a positive corner

So, as of right now im on amitriptyline, zomig, and also excederine migraine.

The headaches are still present, but much more minor, I actually feel like I can function on a more normal basis. I actually feel like I can think! Ive actually strung together a few pretty good days in a row, something I havent done since the injury.

I finally feel like my sleeping is improving as well, as last night was the first night I did not wake up a single time. I still woke up with that pounding headache, but instantly took an excederine and it toned it down significantly.

For once im finally feeling extremely positive. Ive been pushing myself these past few days both physically and mentally, with really not much negative effect. Ive realized these past few days that there are actually triggers to when these headaches get extremely bad and then the seizures start. Ive realized most start in the afternoon, when im getting fatigued both physically and mentally. Loud, or repetitive noises get me. Although ive upped my physical excersise, I now know when im about to get a pounding headache and can stop myself, same with when im doing cognitive therapy through say lumosity or just reading. I now realize there are signs that are telling me to stop.

Im really hoping this string can continue in this positive trend and I can hopefully return to work soon. Ive also come to the fact that yes, certain things I still cannot do, but I can work around them. Rather it be earplugs, asking for help, or simply slowing down.

Finally feeling positive that maybe the light at the end of the tunnel is closer than I think. Its amazing how the right combination of medicine can actually make such a huge difference.

Ill post some updates in the next few days, and hopefully they will continue to be positive.
