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&

Mr. Horse's thoughts on the Matter

Friday, 29 August 2008 10:22 P GMT-06
Migraine extended into Thursday night and Friday morning. Woke up early morning with an ice pick stabbing in my left eye. No triptans, so took what I could find (Tylenol p.m., ativan) but it didn't help. By 6:30 a.m. I knew I wasn't going to

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

Laziness

My dog fits right into my lifestyle. This is what I'd rather be doing most of the time. I'm feeling anxious about my neurologist appointment Tuesday. It's been 6 months since I was last there and he made me sign a freakin' contract (o

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all

by AristotleI removed the previous entry. Ever since I put it up - half as a joke and somewhere deep inside, truthful - my heart has been heavy. I apologize for being quick to post and not to think.Good week with migraines. However, I've constant

Holiday headaches

Friday, 28 December 2007 2:51 P GMT-06
The holidays are coming to an end and I'm relieved. Not because of why you might think. I'm just happy to get through them and hopefully be over migraines for awhile now. I've had a sinus infection for over a month and can't stand tak

Auras

Body Mind Spirit expo was this weekend. Daughter, friend, and I went on Saturday. It was surprisingly small and fairly uneventful. Several vendors didn't show up, one of the ones I was really looking forward to. But I did get an Aura picture show

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

Ponderings

Tuesday, 18 September 2007 4:15 P GMT-06
I've spent my last week and a half truly practicing non-attachment. It amazes me how much I can let go when I do this. My friends and all say "I would have said...in that situation" or "How could that not make you mad/sad/crazy, et

Face melting day

Monday, 27 August 2007 4:24 P GMT-06
Monday morning started off as a typical Monday should. Hubby has a three day temp job making a few bucks and had to be there by 7:45 a.m. Daughter had to be on bus at 6:30 and youngest son had to be on the bus by 7:15. Daughter barely made it an

Night Crusher

Monday, 30 July 2007 2:19 P GMT-06
Summer nights in Alabama can get really humid. Our a/c unit runs 24/7 and still doesn't keep the house cool enough for me (so much for global warming). Friday night, the temperature in the house had reached 80 degrees F and the fans were just mov

Sharon Lately

Tuesday was going well until around 9 pm. While hubby and kids were out (except youngest son) I went from giving myself a manicure to lying in the bathroom floor in a fetal position with a stomach bug. My stomach felt as if a knife had been stuck thr

Happy Friday the 13th!

Friday, 13 July 2007 12:12 P GMT-06
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

Sunday, 24 June 2007 5:00 P GMT-06
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

Man or Machine?

Wednesday, 6 June 2007 1:20 P GMT-06
I had one heck of a migraine Sunday. Ever since then, I've had muscle spasms in my neck, shoulder and back that have been rather bothersome. I went to the doc Monday and he prescribed muscle relaxers, pain pills and that I get rid of my Stressor.

Wish it all away

Monday, 9 April 2007 11:36 A GMT-06
More migraine pain over the weekend and this morning. Eyes wide open through most of the night but couldn't pick my head up off the pillow to find my meds. Kept hoping for sleep to come and pain from midnight on. I woke him up, but it wasn't

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

Navigating my head

Thursday, 22 March 2007 9:52 A GMT-06
Made it back into the real world this morning. Wasn't an easy feat. My head, though feeling 99% better, still felt much like a watermelon. Navigating it through the world made things quite hilarious. I nearly knocked my dad out giving him a hug,

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

Everyday Enlightenment

Monday, 19 March 2007 2:46 P GMT-06
I broke the cycle! Spent Saturday without a migraine! It was actually a great weekend. The weather was a little cooler than usual--sunny and in the low 60s F. But it was perfect for opening up the windows in the house, getting some spring cleaning do

On my knees

Friday, 16 March 2007 12:31 P GMT-06
...is how I began my day. Running late and rushing down the stairs with an armload of stuff and *plop* I land on all fours at the bottom of the stairs in front of the garage. It takes my breath and stay there for a minute until I'm sure I can bre

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

entering the Twilight Zone...

Saturday morning, hubby had an appointment for an eye exam at 11:30 am and had planned on taking his truck by my brother's shop before then to have his oil changed and have my brother check out the front bumper from the jauger accident. During th

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
