Trigger Point Injections

Wednesday, 31 December 2008 9:55 A GMT-06
Went this morning to have trigger point injections in my neck and shoulder. Sounds painful - but it wasn't. I really only felt a couple that was put in the back of my neck. It will be a series of them, so I go back next week for another round. I&

Wasn't so bad

Neurologist appointment this morning. Wasn't so bad, actually. I had kept a migraine diary since our last visit and brought it to the appointment. He loved that - yet was disappointed at the number of migraines I've had (26 in 6 months). So a

Migraine Fairy

Thursday, 28 August 2008 12:02 P GMT-06
The migraine fairy visited me last night. I felt it coming on late afternoon and by 8pm the sharp stabbing pain started on one side of my head. With the neurologist visit Tuesday and only 1 imitrex tablet for migraines left until then...I didn't

Positive Reinforcement

Tuesday, 2 October 2007 8:13 A GMT-06
I witnessed the power of positive reinforcement last night. My youngest son hates doing homework and it usually includes him rolling around in floor and whining, hubby losing his temper and yelling, and me just trying to keep the peace without going

Happy Friday the 13th!

I feel like I just woke from a coma. But it's a good thing. I've had a migraine for 3 days and managed to drag my body into work. Each day I would call my neurologist and let him know that the medicine wasn't working and he would suggest

Trip to the ER

Sunday, 1 July 2007 1:32 P GMT-06
I had a migraine attack around 3 am Thursday morning. It was one of the worse I've had and unfortunately, I was out of my imitrex and mepergan. I struggled for about 2 hours, trying OTC pain meds and breathing. But by 5 am I was ready to take a h

Bats in the Belfry

Call Ozzy!Heat did it this time. Heat, stress and a bit of elbow grease. Woke up at 6 a.m. dodging dog poo (stupid pup) to find some meds and something to drink. House seems more like a playground for dogs and kids lately, than a living area for

Orientation Day 2

Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:07 A GMT-06
Started orientation program out yesterday with migraine. All my fault too, because I stressed out. Program started at 7:30 am and I left home at 6:45 - got stuck in traffic and didn't get there until 7:45. Missed breakfast and the SR VP of HR had

Drug-induced logic

Wednesday, 21 March 2007 5:04 P GMT-06
Migraine pain is back. I felt it coming Monday when I barely got through the day holding my eyes open. Was in bed asleep by 9 p.m. Monday night and then awake sometime later in the night with sharp stabbing pains. Fortunately, had imitrex inject

Early bird gets the worm

Tree sale started at 8:00 am and I was told I could get there between 7:30-8:00 to volunteer. By the time I got there - all the good stuff was sold out and the place was packed full of people (and it wasn't even supposed to have been open yet!) I

My Waking Life

Monday, 29 January 2007 11:33 A GMT-06
At work, we got a memo that we have to delete all e-mails and PST files on our desktop that are not for business or official company records. At first I was hesitant. I didn't want to delete my personal e-mails that I had been saving since I star
