when I started this blog a couple of years ago I really thought I was on a path to completely stopping my migraines. Now I realize it is a chronic condition that I have been able to manage but deal with it all the time. I am really frustrated with the way things have been going lately and in some respects I feel like I have gone back to stage one. I think this sleep medication the dr gave me was a trigger, I have had ones lately that remind me of the ones I always had years ago. I am hoping this medication can be out of my system soon and we will see. I feel like currently I am in survival mode. I just came back from vacation ( when I had migraines for over half of the vacation) Since I went away over Thanksgiving I came home to Christmas time. But I have had a super busy week with non stop head and neck pain of some sort. My house is trashed and I have very few christmas decorations up. My husband is super busy right now and I dont know if he has noticed the state of affairs of the house and the fact that I am so out of it, but he is so busy lately I doubt he even notices. I am pretty much unpacked from the trip and today though I had to lay down after work feel ok enough to have finally cleaned up the kitchen and am going to try and get the decorations out in the living room before we go to our first christmas event of the season. But I did have to just sit down for a moment to blog as its my journal of sorts and stops the frustration in my head. I hope that the rest of this week is pain free and I can get some things done but as I have said I am in survival mode right now and just have to make it moment by moment. I had a very frustrating drs appointment yesterday, driving 2 hours for a 5 minute appointment that lasted all of 5 minutes. I told him how my headaches have increased and got a ok well we will keep things the same changed me back to ambien for sleep which works ok sometimes but doesnt last all night. He wanted to put me on amitripaline and that I did not do well with. I got some valerian root today maybe that will help me sleep who knows, I'll give it a whirl. Since I last bogged I have gotten in really good shape work out 5 days a week as much as I can this week I cant get maybe 3 workouts in. I eat pretty healthy and take good care of myself, i dont know how much more i can do. I will try to get 6 workouts in next week maybe just maybe i will feel better. So i guess I better get decorating this living room before we have to go to this party. Maybe a glass of wine will help this neck pain sometimes it does sometimes it makes it worse, I will have to see. I will try and keep up on this blog as maybe just maybe it can help some one else.
