Doing much better now. I am finding certain foods I had banned because of MSG I can now eat, this is good and bad. I have gained some of the weight back that I lost. Its 5 lbs and that is not horrible but I do not want it to continue!! I find I am slipping back into my old terrible habit of constantly munching on food, I am going to the grocery store either today or tomorrow and stock up on fruit and veggies and need to get my chia seeds. I read about a fiber that will help you keep full I need this!! Butterbur still is helping and I do believe when I remember to use it progesterone cream really helps mainly with sleep for me. I was supposed to have botox next week and I canceled the appt. the higher dose made me not be able to think at all for the next 24 hours after the injections and i really disliked the way that dr. did the injections. If I need it again I will get it here even though the dose is not as high I like the dr. here. I know that once you have migraines at least with me I seem to find a trigger avoid it or find a treatment and it works great for awhile but then it always seems to find a new path, a new trigger the meds dont work at all. So for now I am enjoying the benefits of butterbur and ginger and the bonus of more energy less headaches I know it can be temporary. I will make the most of it for now!
OF course last week I fell on ice hurting my back. This being the 2 weeks of my migraines too so add a double whammy to me feeling like crap. The butterbur helps for sure the days of the headaches this month seem to be as many as they were before but they are not knocking me out for the whole day I seem to recover much easier. But still for huge parts of a day I feel terrible and when I have these it does suck my energy and make me not feeling like doing anything. Now add christmas time to this and the most busy week for christmas activities and it is not at all a good combination. It is amazing because for a good amount of time i was really getting a handle on my house and now the day before i am having a party my house looks like a bomb hit it. I have a cookie party today and then a fundraiser yesterday we had two things and a party the day before this. I would have never scheduled the party this week had i known that I would be so busy this week. I feel that I should consult my calendar before scheduling events that if it s the week that I am expecting these hormone type migraines just plan on nothing the thing is that eliminates like half of the month!! I really want to give up but I wont. The maxalt is kicking in and I will clean my kitchen before I leave for my cookie party today. I am very glad I made lists of all that I need to do before the party because my brain can not think right now so lists are always important to me.
