Miserable Migraines

Monday I had a surprise migraine. Usually my migraines aren't surprises...but Monday was out of the blue. My doctor gave me several meds to choose from...the expensive ones don't work. So I take a lovely red pill. Unfortunately it didn't work Monday. In fact...nothing worked...not even the pain killers. He gave me hydrocodone to kill the pain if I couldn't get a medicine to work...5 mg didn't help so Nathan gave me a half of another pill...it didn't help. I think it finally just knocked me out and I had bad sleep.

I spent ALL day Tuesday in bed. It was horrible.

My main concern with my horrible headaches is that there was NO WAY that I could have cared for a child Monday and Tuesday. So what will I do if I get one of these headaches when I am pregnant? Or after that child is born? I sure can't take the kinds of medicines they are giving me when I am pregnant or nursing.

And even worse...from what I have read on the internet...they can give me the same kinds of drugs they are giving me or pain killers to manage the pain. So does that mean that I will have these horrible for the rest of my life? Oh I hate them.

Dr. Jones thinks I will grow out of them. GROW OUT OF THEM? I didn't start getting them until I was 18....so somehow I don't see that happening.
