Year 5 Begins Tomorrow |
Sep 08 2011 |
Hi all,
Well, I think I instinctively knew that I'd be writing another one of these, but of course I hoped I wouldn't. Tomorrow is September 9th, marking four years of pain. Last year I did an inventory of good things, which shows you that I just had a certain level resolve at the time. I'll be honest and say that a lot of that resolve is gone. It just feels like I've been trying so hard and nothing gets better, honestly, things just get worse. I'm tired all of the time, and it all just feels weightier and weightier every day. I'm getting closer and closer to that place where I just want to throw my hands in the air and give up on working and going to school.
Had an appointment with the doc on Wednesday, he wants to do the 200 unit concentration of Botox two more times... which I'm not happy about at all. He also put me on Naratripan, which is basically just and extended release Imitrex. I'm taking two a day, everyday, which is a pain in the ass because my insurance will only give me 9 at a time, so I'll be back in 4 days to refill it.... Really stupid. I don't really think this is going to help, because once again, my headache is not migraine related, but he wanted to try it out.
Anyways, I guess that's all. Sorry its not more uplifting this time around. Hope you all are feeling better than I am these days.

I know that probably everyone has a different solution for you. I don't promise that.
My headache is coming up on three years in a little over a month. I can't imagine five. I am so proud of you for making it this far.
I used to have bad days (8/10 or higher)five or six days out of the week. I just recently went five and a half weeks with out a day over 4/10. My secret? Massage therapy.
Maybe you have already tried it, maybe not. If not, it might be worth a shot. I truly hope for you that you find a solution. I believe you will, I believe we all will.
Stay strong
