The Good, The Bad, & The O.K.
Well, I visited the doctor today. I had an appointment to get my Depo shot on Wednesday but the daily headaches had become a 3 day migraine that left me bent over my toilet at 2am last night, so I called and got an appointment with her. Obviously the vicodin no longer works.
The Bad news, of course, is the migraine and nausea. The doctor has given me a prescription for Zomig. We’ll see if that works. It sometimes takes a while to kick in if I remember right. She also gave me something for the nausea. I’m becoming frustrated by the being forced to do nothing much.
The Good news is that she did a general physical check and says that I don’t appear to have any symptoms of a brain tumor. Apparently she can tell that by shinging a bright blinding light in my eyes.
Anyway, I figured since I’d been having hot flashes and extended migraine that my blood pressure would be sky high. However, it was 118/78 which is extremely good for me. So, that would be my O.K. news.
However, to let you know how ill I feel, I actually threw out part of my lunch. I couldn’t eat it and I didn’t snack in the afternoon. I mean, there’s a reason I’m back in my fat dress. I can’t seem to stop eating. So it’s a catch-22, I can remain ill and waste away or I can feel better and fight the compulsive eating.

The agony of it all. Glad I am not alone in the boat. Sorry anyone has to be in it.
