New Medication Challenge



I haven't been feeling like myself lately. My migraines have been really bad and the nerves on my head are screamingly painful including my entire scalp, face and neck. Everything makes it hurt worse even a breeze moving my hair, or resting my head on a pillow causes my head pain. My eyes and ears are so much more sensitive than usual, and they are usually pretty sensitive. The extreme nerve pain is more than enough to create a bad migraine situation and since it doesn't go away, neither are the migraines.


I put a call into Dr Garza at Mayo - again.

In the meantime I'm just trying to take it easy and make it through the day. Since resting and napping is just as painful as activity I'm finding the best relief comes from distraction. At least if I can think about something else for a while, I can get a break from thinking about the pain. Of course, right now it is pretty hard to distract myself from this pain...the rescue meds are not terribly effective for the present situation so I'm kinda on my own here.
