I'm not trying to be a whiner (hmm hmm Kellie =0), but I got another small migraine yesterday, and I didn't complain all day long. I decided to give my Imitrex another try after the horrible experience that I had the first time I took it. I broke off a very tiny piece of the pill yesterday afternoon and just hoped and prayed that this little amount would ease my headache without making me feel as if my heart is going to jump out of my chest.
The medicine did help relieve my headache, but not like it did last week. Last week my headache was gone in 30 minutes. I also still had the same side effects, though not as strong, but I did still have them. Call me crazy, but I don't like feeling like my heart is beating out of control. I mean that's just scary. This medicine has been linked to causing heart attacks in some patients. I just think that there is something in this particular drug that does not agree with my body.
I didn't complain all night last night. Britt already says that I complain with headaches enough as it is, so I just dealt with it in silence. This morning the headache came back. I know now that I am NOT taking the Imitrex ever again, so I called the doctor's office to see if there is something else that they can prescribe for me. Just my luck the office is only open half a day all week, and since I called after lunch no one was there.
I hadn't talked to Britt all day, so I called him to see how his day is going. While we were talking I mentioned that I had another terrible headache and he proceeds to tell me "Big deal. My mom gets headaches all the time too. There's nothing wrong with you." Let me just tell you that I am about in tears right now. I just WISH that he could experience the pain of the headaches that I am having and then lets see what he has to say. I mean why can't he show me any sympathy? I'm not asking to be babied, but at least show me that you care!

No sympathy

Ahh, I feel for you. You're not alone. When I was pregnant with Grayson I threw up everything I ate for the first few months. One night I was laying on the bathroom floor and Jonathan asked me if I couldn't go to the other bathroom. He was trying to eat supper and apparently I was "bothering" him. I would tell you to tell Brit what I told Jonathan, but it's pretty graphic. Let's just say he never said anything again. Men do not understand pain, but when they're sick they want you to be sympathetic. Not fair!!!! I love ya girl, and I hope you get to feeling better. I'd be glad to ask mom what they prescribed her for her migraines. I know she doesn't take imitrex anymore, because they had a medication that was better.
Yeah ask your mom what she takes if you're sure that she won't mind. I've read that Midrin is supposed to be pretty good. I don't know. I just cannot feel like that everytime that I have a headache. It's AWEFUL!!! Thanks girl!
I promise you if he had migraines who would be the biggest whiner...because men just are when they are sick. They cannot handle pain at all!! This is why they don't have the babies! Why don't men understand that all we want is for them to say I'm really sorry your head hurts...is there anything I can do? There probably isn't anything they can do, but they can offer. I think sometimes when they can't "fix" us they get annoyed at us!! Doesn't make any sense, but they just want to "fix" everything! But, we aren't cars to be "fixed." We are people with feelings...who need the fact that we are in pain validated!!
Anyway, I hope they can give you a new medicine to help with the headaches!! I'll be praying for you!
THAT stinks. Not sure which is worse, the headaches or the husband. I totally understand! I feel your pain!
I say call your daddy! When all else fails, he will give you a shoulder!!
Having all these headaches I really would maybe try to figure out what is causing them? Have you had your eyes checked, have you had an MRI? Seriously, I really think that when something in your body isn't working it causes everything else to go kuput. Could the neck be cause from tension of sitting at the computer and the tension be causing the headaches? Just thinking as a mom! XOXO
PS- Not trying to tell you what to do. I am sure you have a doctor who does all this! LOL. I am just a natural girl. If I can figure out the problem with out taking even tylenol, I WILL! So, overlook my statement if you have already looked into all this! I just hate pills so I always try to figure out what is wrong first! LOL!
