Emergency room selfie. I've been dealing with migraines since I was at least 8 years old. I can't remember further back than that to know if I had them when I was even younger...The thing is for most of my adult years I had mild stress related ones every Sunday (while living at home), but the bad ones only came a few times a year and usually I could throw up, go to sleep, then be fine. But since I got pregnant with Caroline (and I've been pregnant or nursing ever since), they have been horrible. I get them at least once a month, and nothing but time seems to get rid of them. Sadly each one seems longer than the last. The latest one has lasted 10 days. This past weekend I finally went into the emergency room (twice). Even their cocktail of drugs didn't get rid of it, though I got temporary relief. The cat scan they ran did come back normal which is great, but also answered no questions. So it looks like I'll have the fun of testing and trying more drugs over the next weeks and months. I'm very thankful for insurance to cover it and the ability to get help, and praying for relief. It's hard to be in pain and exhausted so much, especially with little ones to take care of. |
