Discouraged

It appears last month was more of an anomaly than it was a meaningful decrease in my migraines. I've been struggling with my head basically since I posted about my last neuro appointment and how few migraines I was having in Feb. As if simply putting that hope into words was enough to make it not so. I've managed to not take many rescue meds for several days but this morning's migraine was progressing quickly so I went ahead and took them. More than 3 hours later and I'm still not getting any sort of relief.

I think I'll lay down and try to nap, at least avoiding some of the pain. Plus I'll have to be up much later than normal tonight as my husband's flight is scheduled to land at 11pm. I might do something I never do, take a 2nd triptan later if the pain continues. I never used to do it simply because I needed all 18 insurance allowed triptans just to get through the month. Now, since I'm only allowed to treat up to 9 in a month I can use more than one without penalty.

Starting the month playing the medication rationing game is so discouraging. I want my life back!
