Hi Dyno,
Health wise I am fine- I just get
those headaches.
I cycle between severe chronic migiraine, goodbye 4-5 days a week and episodic cluster. I also think a small gnome with hobnailed shoes and assorted cultlery and flamethrowers who thinks my TMN is its personal trampoline as the migriane switches into cluster and back again.
My GP got a tad jumpy after the neurologist expressed his opinion on NOT sending me through to a consultant neurologist sooner. As I am female a none smoker and rarely drink the GP was treating me as if I only had migraine. He has been kindly asked by the hospital not do anything more without the say so from the headache clinic till they have sorted things out more.
The letter arrived on Saturday far too late to get a weekend prescription from anyone and the thought of camping in A&E when I had O2 at home made me cringe - been there done that before it has to be a truly awful headache to make me go as they always check for meningitisis before doing anything else.
Ghastly Saturday tried to go out with my younger teens and mistimed it only had maxalt with me so ended up crying on the floor whilst my eldest daughter went and blew her pocket money on a bag of ice and a strong coffee from SB for me.
Not fun Sunday - took communion at church then paid for it more than normal. Not doing that again.
Was a tad terse with the dragons at the GPs this morning but I have been given an appointment to finally see my GP later this morning.
I have all the hospital letters together and I am not budging without that topiramate and certainly not without the sumitriptain injectors.
IF the homeoxygen turns up and replaces the O2 and I can get hold of the other drugs I am going to try and be more organised and get to Uni for tonights lectures. I felt so tired and in too much pain to want to even think of trying last week.
Could cheerfully throw in the towel in trying to study with this, it makes doing almost everything very hard work.
Managed to read OUCH's PDF on O2 use. That has helped a lot.
Sent husband out to buy more ice packs and strong coffee.
I even remembered to put ice packs in the freezer to pack round the sports ice packs for tonight. I have Redbull and a flask for strong coffee ready to go.
Sick of this thing trying to rule my life so I am going to push yell and kick for what I need to make life more bearable.
IF I feel truly awful the Hospital is down the round from the Uni.
