Migraines, Migraines

So, as most of you know I have terrible migraines. Most of the time several a week. Recently I saw a new neurologist and she took me off of the medications I was on and started me on Flexaril (muscle relaxer) and zonisimide (anti-seizure) meds to try to help. She said if things weren't dramatically better in six weeks she wanted me to come back. For a while I thought they were better...I went almost 2 weeks without a migraine which is like amazing for me. Then for the past 2 weeks I have had 6 migraines. I guess my only choice is to go back to the dr and have a series of injections done into the back of my head (sounds like fun doesn't it??) This is something that, if it works, I will have to continue to do every 3-4 months. But, hey, if I can go 3 or 4 months without a migraine it will be all worth it. Please pray that these terrible headaches will get better one way or the other. I am about to go crazy and I am just so lucky that Ritchie helps me with Jackson the way that he does. I don't know what I would do without him. Thanks babe!

  1. I've had migraines since the time I was 18 years old and it turned out to be birth control. I found that out just last year. I was on Imitrex for 6 years and nothing seemed to ever touch them then one day, they went away (when I got off the BC)... I know this isn't the case with you though, at least I don't think so. They are terrible, terrible things and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. If you need any help with Jackson, let me know. Seriously! Him and Tanner would have fun together. I hope they figure out a solution. Love you, Tudes!
