    The headaches that is.

    I thought that maybe I’d gotten rid of them but *sigh* it’s just not to be. But at least I know what’s causing these. Stress.

    Lovely, I could live without, stress. Between the training and trying to keep up with normal work while said training is in progress…it was unavoidable. But when you come home at the end of the day and immediately go bed, something is off. I can’t believe that amount of pain I was in. Even after getting 10+ hours a sleep per day this weekend, they are still being persistent. I just can’t seem to keep the bastards at bay and it’s driving me mad.

    I’ll be calling Dr. Garcia in the morning to see if there is anything to combat the stress headaches. Lortab simply doesn’t touch them because it’s just not that type of pain. The soma helps with the stressed muscles but not enough the destroy the headache.

    I’ll be honest. The headaches scare me. It makes me think that I’m on the path to having another migraine induced stroke. Not something I really want to go through again. I’m also thinking, and I’m probably way off base here and it’s just the stress talking, but I may have a mild case/form whatever of depression. There are times when I simply break. When there is nothing I can do to stop the tears. But again, maybe that in itself is a form of stress relief.

    Either way, something has to be done about the head.

    And yes Danielle, I’m contacting that stupid dr tomorrow about the Lyrica. But if she tries to kill me again, I’m coming after you.

      Silly question but have you had your vision checked lately? I’ve worn glasses for 26 years, but have been having a lot of headaches lately (not to the extent of yours), and my vision had a big change.

      Hope they can get this straightened out for you. Migraines ruin your life.

      If the Lyrica doesn’t work, you will be my first complaint for non-licensed practice of medicine…

      Monique – I just had my eyes checked in September. I know it’s the stress I’m under. It’s a matter of getting that under control.

      Danielle – I would not complain simply because the other advice you’ve given me concerning this crap has been great. You’re allowed at least one :) At least you pegged the Cymbalta.

    11:30pm – just sitting around playing with the new settings on my cell phone, when my vision suddenly ummm…went away. you know how when you rub your eyes, they go kinda greyish but then your vision returns? well that’s what happened only my right peripheral vision never returned.

    now, this has happened before only it lasted about 5-10 seconds. After about 10 minutes when it still hadn’t returned, I finally went to wake the husband up and let him know what was going on. He attributed it to the migraines I’d been having. So we decided to give it till morning and see what was up.

    Morning came and still no vision. Off to Dr. Garcia’s to find out what the hell is going on.

    (these next 5-6 posts are being written after the fact, so please bare with me as I try to remember everything that has happened over the past week.)
