I went to the Dr. the other day for a follow up on my migraines. She finally gave me something for them, she put me on Topamax and gave me a stronger prescription for Imitrax, she gave me some Zoloft for my depression and an inhailer for when I exercise. I've taken 2 Zoloft and 1 Topamax and have had very few side affects from either one and I don't get any from the Imitrax either, I am SO thankful for that! Now I just need to get to a counselor and hopefully that will help me w/ my emotional issues and then I will focus on starting to feel better physically.

Lonliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the MOST horrible Mother Theresa

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on it's knees. Victor Hugo

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. Victor Hugo

The love of God, unutterable and perfect flows into a pure soul, the way life rushes into a transparent object. Dante

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively”

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

“Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I’m not perfect -and I don’t live to be- but before you start pointing fingers… make sure you hands are clean!”

“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”

Krissi,

I'm glad that you finally got the dr to help you. Migraines are the worst, I have them too. Getting a counselor is a good idea, to help you through. Please keep us informed on how things are going. HUGS

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

Krissi I'm so glad that you finally got some meds for your headaches. I hope they help and the side effects are minimal. I too take Topamax for my migraines and it works beautifully, and as sunnydays mentioned I lost a few pounds too when I started taking it, that was awesome. Hopefully you will be enjoying many days without migraines soon.
