Thanks all. Yesterday afternoon, I felt like I could at least try and go out for awhile so Dirk and I went to Lowe's he had to get some tools for work, then stopped and had a Pina Colada, and I could feel me getting all sweaty, we were sitting outside but it was covered and all, then I ordered a club soda with lemon, and BOOM, he had to take me home. That was it. Should not of had a pina colada I guess, or the heat too.
I was in bed for the rest of the afternoon and night. It was a NIGHTMARE

Thank God, we didn't go to the Italian restaurant for dinner, it's one I had always wanted to go to. I would of hated to be in the middle of dinner and have to leave.

He made steaks on the grill for him and my mom, and salad and bought some potato salad so they had some time to talk.

I couldn't even talk, I couldn't get out of bed, and do you know when pain is so bad you can't stay still, like you just are all over the place, it took me forever to calm down. I thought I was having a stroke or something.

I took my last steriod pill this morning, now tonight I start the 25 mg of Topamax for a week, then it goes up to 50 for a week, until I get to 150, I think. Have to look at the paperwork again.

So, the steriods did not work. Going to call my PCP today and tell her, because she wanted to know.

See what she says.

From what I understand a migraine is from one nerve that spreads to your eye, ear and jaw area. It's all on my left side of my face.

I still am going to make an appt. to see a Dentist, can't hurt. My ears are clear, I can breathe fine, not stuffed up or anything, so its not my sinuses, plus the cat scan of my sinuses came back fine, my PCP and the ER have said, so no sense in seeing a ENT Dr.

But, how can I have a migraine every single day, and usually around the same time of the day?????????? Well, afternoon around 2-3pm, yet they have occured at other times too.

I'm at a loss here. I have soooooooooooooo much to do around the house, I am just sitting having coffee and once my head feels a bit clearer maybe I can do somethings. I wake up with a bit of pain, it's weird, like a heavy feeling and my eye and ear hurt just a tiny bit. Maybe from my meds.

Thanks for all your support.

I'm sure I will have more to post.

p.s. I read that a side effect of Topamax is eye pain has anyone had that problem if you take it?

Hugs, Nikko - Have a great week!
