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.

I've again decided that I am going to quit my job and become an Alpaca farmer!

Good 'ol Tooele!

I think most of our friends and family know that back in June I decided that I needed a change and transferred out to Tooele to try out the office there. I just love the office and love the people that I work with. It really makes a difference in your work when you are somewhere where you feel important and supported. Anyway, I am finding that Tooele is quite an interesting place. While it is growing, there is still very much a small town feel and a small town mindset, which is a whole new world to me! One of my coworkers has lived in Tooele her entire life and it's just interesting to leave the office with her since she knows EVERYONE any time we go anywhere within the city limits. One of the funny things about Tooele is that every Wednesday at 4 pm, there is an test of their emergency notification system. A voice comes on from a very large speaker somewhere saying that this is a test of the emergency notification system and then there is a siren that goes off for a while. It's really quite entertaining, although I was a bit freaked out the first time I heard it! As I type, I'm listening to the wonderful siren sound! You gotta love Tooele!

I saw this on Cara's blog and of course had to do it! I'm quite excited with my results since Alice has to be my absolute favorite!

Random Moment Sample

At work we get these things called random moment samples. We were all talking about it this week and I got to thinking, while I was getting ready the other morning (I tend to do most of my random thinking while I'm doing my makeup and hair in the morning), that it might be fun to have a little ongoing post and call it "Random Moment Sample." I often have very random thoughts and have random little things that happen to me that never really seem blog worthy, but I think they are kind of funny and out-there. So hopefully it will be fun and a way for me to get out some of these things!

Oh and my prior post really should have been a random moment sample!

Enough Said...

I am so over forking over all sorts of crazy amounts of money to get poked and prodded by the doctor. That's it, enough said!
