Bad M and vent
Hi All,
The migraine is absolutely horrendous right now. I just don't know what to do at this point. The usual tricks aren't working real well right now. Tylenol 3, klonopin, and benedryl are helping some, but not enough. I have a call in to my neuro about a possible IV of Depakan soon. It is just frustrating. The fainting also gets worse with the migraine. I nearly broke down in tears today from sheer frustration. I am so tired of all of this.
Thinkgs have also been pretty crazy around here. My mother had five vertabrae fused 8 weeks ago and is having a hard time recovering. Her dr said she can leave the house on Aug. 12. It was a complicated procedure with more complications. The bones are just taking a little longer to heal than we expected. My father and I are doing all we can to help. We also have a sitter who comes in the afternoons to give us a break. It is really bad when my 74 year old father is the healthiest member of the household. My brothers haven't been as helpful as they should be right now.
I know that the added stress isn't helping the head at all. Though, I also know that the head would probably be as bad no matter where I was or what was going on around me. I am just close to the end of my rope here. I know it will get better, but I am tired, frustrated and just feel like screaming at the moment.
The only thing to do now is to rest and I am not very good at that. I have also tried taking some oral depakote which helps some but not a lot.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
Pain free days,

Vent away! Sorry you're in so much pain today. I'm right there with you... Maybe there's something going around today. I just had a similar experience. I feel like I'm in a vicious never ending cycle. It's been so long since I've had a pain free day, I can't even remember what that feels like. When I watch a movie, I can't help but superimpose myself in it and wonder how the character does not get a migraine. It has taken over my life and instead of getting better, my symptoms just keep changing. It's so hard to stay hopeful with no end in sight.
It does help to vent, so I decided to vent too. Hope you get some relief soon!

So sorry you're having a rough go of it! I know how you feel! This past week has been absolutely horrible for me! Between the weather changes and my monthly, it's been non-stop migraine for 7 days now! I honestly can't remember the last time I've had a pain-free or aura-free day! Hugs to you!
