I had one this week that left me down for three days, the first day was real bad, then the following two days I was zapped for energy and had such a sensitivity leftover in place of where the pain had been I just laid in bed and on the sofa. I feel much better today, and yesterday.

sheeez i know and nobody gets it when it's "over" and you're still feeling like you got squashed by an eight ton lead weight. and light and/or sound sensitivity persists for a few days with me usually. luckily i don't often get the real high pain ones like that any more (did last month), but i still get them bad enough to medicate. Plus, sometimes even the ones not bad enough to medicate (before gabapentin when i had most of the month's worth i had all kinds) i get other sx like imbalance or hemiplasia which makes getting around a bit of a challenge, add even a mild-moderate headache which disagrees with movement, the light and sound sensitivity which are always there... and forget it. i took a bad fall because of the imbalance once when i was teaching and now my knee is messed up. i am too depressed to deal with the whole stupid frickin process of ortho + mdoc + physiatrist + mdoc + possible therapy. ankles too but less worried about them - think more likely to heal, just slowly.

my stupid mdoc gave me tramadol which has serotonin interaction warnings AND is addictive AND i'd have to take through migraine duration - i have multi-migraine "episodes" once a month lasting 2-3 days. same stupid doc
won't give me a triptan w/o neuro recommendation f(*#)*Q)&)(#*#())(#*%)
seeing neuro on 14. hopefully will get something resolved. and dx on paper for paperpushing mdoc to shove up his ... sorry if i am not mincing words that guy really gets to me sometimes (a lot... most of the time.)
well now that i've vented all over the place i'll go hide again.
i'm so sorry. OMG i didn't take my zoloft. thanks for reminding me. better do that. sheez.
