Two months

Yeah I need some therapy today. It's been two months of headaches. I'm at the end of my rope. I just got an email from my dad that said "Hang in there." Yeah. Well. I'm ready for someone else to hang for me, I'm tired. I'm tired of telling my story a hundred times. I'm tired of spending money on meds that don't work. I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of hurting. I'm tired of being sick.

Here's the update, for what it's worth:

Woke up with a killer headache yesterday. Took the last 150 mg of Imitrex that I had. Missed church. Julie took me to urgent care. Dr. was nice and more talkative than my regular guy. Tested my blood sugar since I hadn't eaten - it was normal (we can strike out diabetes, for those who are keeping score). He had concerns about my blood pressure being high (it's been all over the place recently, from what I remember, and I think it might have been high yesterday b/c of the Imitrex, but whatever the case..) so he gave me two prescriptions (yes you may laugh - the number of prescriptions I've had in a month is a JOKE) - one for a water pill, so that if the blood pressure is the issue, I should see some relief, and bupap which is a tension headache medicine - similar to the first medicine I had - epidrin. Oh and he was also going to call the neurologist and try to get me moved up the list (I have no idea how long I'll be waiting for an appt..I'm trying not to freak out about that). And he wasn't concerned about my hormones but said if I wasn't feeling better by Wednesday I could come back (which was at least better than my dr who always 6 weeks which is a JOKE) and they would draw them then and do a full panel of stuff.

So then we went to track down the meds..Sam's pharmacy was closed; Publix had the water pill but not the bupap, CVS didn't have it either, so we came home and Julie called a Kroger and they had it so we went there. Pause - praise the Lord for Julie! She's taken care of me, and I made her do all the talking yesterday at the doctor's office b/c I'm tired. I would be dead already without her! Play - ok so we got it and I took two doses last night but I didn't feel any relief. I did end up taking a tylenol PM before bed (don't worry we made sure I wasn't ODing on acetominophen) and I slept well.

This morning woke up with a headache and nausea, blah blah, same song, one millionth verse. I'm emotionally drained (see top). Made it to BH and got some work done this morning. My headache's gotten progressively worse and the bupap I took hasn't touched it, so I'm going home to hopefully sleep and feel better. :( I CAN'T STAND NOT BEING AT BIGHOUSE! It is killing me.
