Default Wow

that is fantastic about Derrick's school. impressive.

and you must be so proud of him to earn this award. He sounds like such a sweet person, too... with getting the plaque and the cookie (it reminded me of his Christmas shopping. )

Glad to hear Piglet did well - i confess i only saw that now, gosh.

migraines.... i have migraines, and i also have (BAADDDD) sinus. at some point i realized that my migraines sometimes trigger sinus congestion. sometimes the reverse happens, bad sinus can (but does not necessarily) trigger a migraine. so when i have both it's a chicken-egg problem as to what to medicate. i tried different things and finally sorted out that in these situations i have to medicate the migraine, regardless which came first. i generally use an NSAID for migraines, and that can help sinus inflammation and congestion due to it as well. decongestant can be helpful if the sinus still doesn't clear with the migraine. i hope this isn't confusing. i found having both symptoms very confusing.

sinus symptoms secondary to migraine are documented, by the way. and my doc confirmed that the reverse can happen - sinus inflammation can trigger a migraine. so i know i'm not crazy - that it can go either way.

i hope you are feeling better. i am currently having congestion so bad that even my script med is not controlling it, not yet anyway. it takes 2 weeks to ramp up. i am still having to take actifed, and eating indomethacin JUST for the sinus because the pain is bad enough to keep me awake, even though, currently (and FORTUNATELY) it has not been triggering migraines on top. (maybe the NSAID prevents it getting there? )

anyway. i hope you are donig better. i hate sinus, and i hate migraines, and having both together REALLY SUXXX.
