Thanks Bizi and Jude for the encouragement and suggestions.

man i am so wiped out. i just want to sleep forever.

i only really have one prescribing doc (pdoc). my GP is mostly a paper pusher so i can get some of the meds pdoc requests paid for by the state. he prescribes the odd med for allergies but pdoc is aware of those as well and they are not "MAJOR" meds as such.

in the past when i had huge problems with recurrent migraines, pdoc did request tests for inflammation markers - sed rate, c-reactive protein and i don't remember what else... i was fine (very low inflammation levels detected). i know that doesn't mean it is the case this time. they will recheck me if the fever repeats itself.

i did just have a round of regular labs that say i'm in good shape, in general (cbc, electrolytes, lipids, organ function).

my mom asked about air conditioning at work... it varies wildly and i might be near a vent... that may have contributed to a cervical problem. the migraines i get with my cycle, but the docs (incl neuros) tell me that stress can trigger them at any time in a migraineur. nuttin i can do about that except go on the gabapentin for prophylaxis as soon as i can get the other drug out of the equation which won't be fast, or easy.

i feel better at the moment - not on top of the world but better. i took a long acting med earlier. and then fell asleep. which means i slept through doc's hours. oh well. no paperpusher opinion, and i might not pick up the naproxen since my mom says it gave her a headache... eek... we have similar reactions to other meds so now's not the time to try that.

ice - Jude i have found a way to shove an icepack into a baseball cap - that holds it on real well too. for me it's often more than just temple involved. i am going to ask if there is a freezer at work i can leave icepacks in. you never know.

~ waves ~ so relieved for the weekend. so much to do.... no intention of doing any of it. (at least i won't be on the road to hell with its pavement of intentions.)

Nope, can't go astray if ya just dont go! Got that one right. May your weekend be mellow.

Dear Waves,

You continue to inspire me by your persistence and willingness to keep figuring out what works and what doesn't work.

Dear Mari,

LOL, yeaaaahh, i guess i am a "figurer-outer" or however one might work that, verbally hehe.

med wise, i realized i had something else in the house - compatible (has been rxd before w/ same meds as now) - i have a muscle relaxer YAH! so i took the indicated pre-bedtime double dose of that along with a high dose of NSAID and all my regular psycho whatsits, and this morning i have ALMOST no pain. however i have to continue that for a few days or it will not have lasting effect.

so today, no more NSAIDs (hopefully) i'm out of the woods.

i did get my cycle so now i'll write it down - that accounts for the migraine component, i was not dreaming.

And you know, while on thursday i did have that anxiety attack once i was dressed, i am relieved that at least not everything was in my head. indeed, it seems likely none of the physical stuff was in origin, even if psych issues can worsen these things for sure. still. you know what i mean.

~ waves ~

I am glad that you are better this morning...hopeing that you are well in the next couple of days.

Waves

I was to late to say. I have read these things in your reports to us before
can't say exactly when though.

I can say though it makes sense to me that the muscle relaxer worked.

Reason you needed to relax, and it helped you do so.

Please keep a record of it.

I think you are having some of your normal things. And I think you will
do fine.

Donna

You're putting it together. So glad for you, hope you feel better and have a good rest of weekend. Be good to you.

Jude Lauren

You are so wise. I have wondered, have you read my oldest story. I have
grown to value your thoughts. And I will probably be asking people for
thoughts soon. The more that I know that know the story the better.


Waves

I think you will do good.

Donna

No, Donna, I haven't read your oldest story. Is it posted here?
Remember to give yourself hugs, too!
