Update on Oh My Head!

Well I tried the new medicine and all I can say is, NEVER EVER IN YOUR LIFE TAKE TOPAMAX! I kid you not, the medicine literally made me crazy, gave me a severe anxiety attack, had me talking nonsense, and sent me into convulsions so bad I had finger nail marks in my hands hours later. I had Chad up and ready to head to the ER in the middle of the night. It was the worst experience of my entire life. Guess we're on to plan B!

Oh My Head!

I've always been plagued by migraines, but they usually creep up on me maybe once a year. Starting in June, they have been occurring more and more frequently. Before I start feeling like I've recovered from one, there's another one knocking me out. After two right in a row this week, I decided it was time to head to the doctor. I joked about having a tumor or something, but really it does make me nervous!

My appointment was today and I ended up walking out with three new prescriptions. A new medication to help prevent migraines has recently been released and the doctor suggested I try it out. It's a pill I take everyday, but I'm willing to try anything to stop the insanity! So for now, no MRIs or any other testing until I see how things work out with this new medicine.
