Migraine update

So on the 27th I had a follow up appointment with Penny Barnards to go over my migraine treatment plan. After all my mapping (see above picture) we've concluded I have regular menstrual migraines, plus a few random easier to treat ones here and there during the month. I'm going off my daily medication. Yes! I hated the side effects, and it didn't seem to be helping anyway. For now we are trying a new supplement, and if insurance approves it an anti inflammatory I will take only certain days of the month, plus I am now using Relpax for hopefully aborting headaches. Other options would be a beta blocker, anti seizure meds, or a hormonal birth control, but hopefully we won't need another option......I'm really struggling with different side effects, etc which isn't a lot of fun. Currently I get my headache shortly before, or shortly after my cycle begins. Then I will have a migraine for the next 5 days or so, sometimes there are breaks, and it  varies in intensity. Most of the time I don't feel good, and don't sleep well, but am functional. As my cycle ends, and a couple days afterwards I will wake up with horribly painful migraines. I just have to sit in the dark and sip coffee till they back off enough to leave me functional. After that I'll have a good day or two, then I have a couple days when I am very down, depressed, and exhausted, Once that is past I'm usually in good shape. It helps to know what to expect and plan for even though it is not fun. I'm trying to have a good attitude and trust the Lord knowing this is a trial He has me in right now. It doesn't mean it will always be like this!
