I have been so starving this past week and its freaking me out. I have not gained any weight though I do have a bloat to my tummy due to hormones. But still it scares me I do not want to get lazy and go back to those 40 pounds!! I did work out today and I know this does help with my headaches it keeps stress lower and muscles looser. For lunch today I ate peanut butter and fluff (I know fluff is now the greatest but again weird craving) on 12 grain bread and amy's lentil soup and chia chips. I have to say I love Amy's soups no wierd ingredients no GMO products not crap in them. After today I will say lentil not my fav but i tried it. I love the creamy tomato its my favorite! Funny I worked last Sunday and ran and got Panera, have you ever looked at the calories from that place? Dear ever loving GOD!! Creamy tomato soup there is like 350 calories but Amy's is 130. The chicken salad is over 600 calories!! WOW!! Add the cappucino and the chips and its a 1000 calorie meal! So I will stick to Amy's and make my own chicken s

Yesterday I had my first botox appointment with the new neurologist. Funny the first time i saw this guy I was very impressed not so much this time. IF the botox really works I my feel differently. He came in and like and in maybe 5 minutes was done. When I went to the other Dr. it took awhile and he looked for the muscles this was like BAM BAM BAM!! He did hit the muscle in my shoulder that is like a softball this is a huge trigger so we shall see. He seemed to be in such a hurry he asked how many bad migraines i had had since I was there last I was expaining it was terrible he said this will make it better just like dismisses me. I told him that I was not agreeing with the meds he prescribed me last he goes ok i dont want to give you any more pills. GEEZ ok fine I am not keen on the side effects of new meds or whatever I would prefer to not be on any meds but I am so sick of feeling like crap a little help here!! He said to call in a couple of weeks and see how I feel. Ugh ok whatever. I have never had a reaction from botox before but this time the extra 60 units I reacted not so good. I could not think I was dizzy i felt tired and crappy. I think in December when I have this again I will take the next day off I do not like how i feel its awful. I just pray that it works. I have been eating not so great and that comes from feeling like crap and being a bit depressed I feel better now the crappy feeling mostly wore off this afternoon I will get back into my routine tomorrow i swear!! I will start gaining weight back if I dont start getting with the program! I walked today tomorrow I want to do a full work out and then again Saturday this will make it three for this week so then next week my goal is 4. And eating all my healthy foods. I WILL f
My eyes have been bugging me lately and I know that from past experience that if my prescription changes even slightly it affects my headaches. My eye dr. said that migraine people are very sensitive to changes in their eyes. The Dr. I normally see is not there any more so it was a new guy. He was nice but I think he was getting mad at me because my right eye would not focus and I could not tell some of the letters. He had to dilate my eyes...Joy. I have not had this done in years because it gives me a headache, and it did. He saw no major problems but some scaring and something wrong that needed to be watched with my retina could lead to glaucoma joy again so i have to have my eyes dilated in a year. He thinks that because I have to take my glasses off to read that the constant adjustment of near and far even though my close vision is not that bad is wearing on the muscles and this is why my eye will not focus. So now for the expensive lenses. I hope it helps lately I feel constant eye strain and I know its part of my headaches.
I do find it interesting that it is my right eye and that my right side is where most of my headaches are and my right ear is where I have the constant ringing everything on my right side is all wrong! What the heck!! So one more thing to make me a very delicate flower and to cost us mo my headache was better today though I was pretty worn out from it all. I had a massage today I have a new massage therapist its hard working with a new one my neck is so difficult work it too much and I have a headache for a week not enough and the massage doesn't do much. Tasha has done massages foe me before and I know she is good. Oh my she impressed me today she worked me over for and hour and a half and only charged me for an hour. I have this terrible terrible knot in my shoulder and always have and I will be damned she worked it out. As she was working on it I could feel the headache refer. Felt like a tree branch like a bundle of nerves. amazing. I wish i could do this weekly or at least monthly!!
For dinner tonight I had a BLT with fresh homegrown tomatoes and organic lettuce and nitrate free bacon I like applegate farms bacon. however I do not like their hot dogs they taste like as my son says beef jerky I feel that they are just too salty. I just bought some oscar myer chicken breast hot dogs I will see if I like them. I do know if I stick to my healthier eating even if I do have the migraines they are so much easier to deal with. Fall is here and i guess with summer I have not written on here in a very long time!! I am in the middle of a very crappy very long migraine streak and it sucks. I saw the new neurologist in August and sure enough I was on way to much medication. So he lowered the topamax to 100 mg and the verapamil to 120 mg. When I went I was in a migraine streak do to hormones and lowering the meds oh God did not work well for me. He also added amitrpaline this was not something I did well on I was covered in bruises just covered and found that after being on it for 3 weeks I was very agitated it was terrible. So I do not take this any more. This is my second period with the lower medication dosage and this is sucky. The sesitivity has been bad and I can not get my neck to ease up and that darn muscle in my head to stop. The botox has worn off and again another nail in my coffin. Labor day Saturday we had a Halloween thing at our campground and I was an absolute mess I couldn't get out of bed it hit me around dinner time and I was done for the weekend. Sunday the sound and light sensitivity was out of control. This weekend was not as bad I had some fun stuff to do and that took my mind off things and I know that eating the way that I do eases this from my history I know how it can be even though it has been just sucky it would have been much much worse had I been eating the way I used to. Today is not good I did not sleep well last night but I have a feeling that I will get that part 2 of my period today that would fall into line with the timing. I am getting a massage tomorrow, I dont care if i have the money or not I need to stop this streak it has been about 13 days of nonstop headaches. I also think that I need to loosen up these muscles before I have botox again. The last time I had it it did not seem to work that well I truly hope that I am not getting so used to it that it will not work any more like everything else. I wonder if by having a massage 4 days after the injections I moved it too much and this affected it and perhaps this is why it did not work as well. The new dr. also said I was not getting enough units the Dr. here gives me 140 units the dr there said you should START with 200 units and he will go down my neck. I need it in my neck.
So a hot bath tonight and I pray i sleep well tonight and feel h |
