Mrs. V. has terrible migraines that have recently gotten so much worse that she's been almost completely unable to work for two months. We saw her neurologist today, and he was dismayed to learn that today's visit was not an easy, "you're doing well" check-up. He took her off one medication, increased the dosage of another, prescribed a third, and scheduled a deprived-sleep EEG, a brain MRI, and a series of trigger-point injections. He also told her to do hot compresses on the pain site twice a day.
It wasn't the magic cure we wanted, but knowing that this doctor is so sharp, and on her side, helps a lot.
Meantime, I balance caring for my baby, working, and staying one step ahead of the creditors. :shrug: I am the Energizer Bunny -- but a cold that seems to be settling in my chest is kicking my ass.
(I mentioned her headaches only in passing in a short-lived thread this morning, so don't feel as if you've missed something. But now that you know, good wishes, karma, prayers, vibes, etc., are welcome.)
I love this community. Thanks for taking me in, all you fine DUers. :loveya:
