Headaches...

I have been having horrid headaches for about 2 months now. Unless I find something to take that actually makes my head stop hurting it will continue to hurt..ALL the time, round the clock. I had the same headache for 3 weeks...So off to the Doctor I went. Lovely doctor I have, seriously, I love my doctor.
So about 21 days ago I went to see her. She has no clue what is causing them and referred me to a neurologist, but more about that in a minute. In addition she put me on prednisone to reduce possible inflammation in my brain, a pain medication to sleep that has to be taken every night, any where for 1 to 4 pills (25 mg a pill), and gave me a prescription for Imitrex to be taken with aleve to create Treximet (another migraine medication my insurance won't cover). So for 6 VERY long days I took the steroids, and Imitrex when needed. Along with the new medication at bedtime. So on top of my original 3 nightly medications I added in those. Thankfully my headaches went away...For about 4 days. And then they came back.
So I was taking imitrex quite a bit, sadly my insurance company will only cover 9 pills every 30 days...I ran out yesterday. So I called the doctor's office and they scheduled me to go in today. I was a little nervous about what she was going to say. Almost an hour later I walked out with 2 treximet samples, and a needle less injection of Imitrex. Oh and 4 new prescriptions. So after I picked up my prescriptions my daily pill intake is as followed:
Morning: a blood pressure/headache prevention medication & steroids
Lunch: more steroids
Dinner: nothing
Bed:Cymbalta, Prevacid, BC, steroids, blood pressure/headache prevention, and the pain medicine to sleep

She also gave me a prescription for Naproxsin to go with the Impitrex I can get next week. The next 12 days outta be fun: Hot flashes, mood swings, and dry mouth like crazy along with any new side effects that the other meds might have. Joy....NOT
BUT if this will help until I see the neurologist then I don't care, I am tired of living with headaches. Oh and I can't see the neurologist until June 18. That sucks!

Hayley's first softball game!

My princess loves to play softball. I didn't get too many pics at the first game but I promise more to come!!!

I'm still here....

I know I haven't blogged in months. It's been a few crazy months....And I'm not sure when I will start blogging again. Right now I am dealing with looking for a place to live, Hayley going to her dad's on a regular basis, and just some other petty crap. But once I get things pulled back together I will be back. I promise.
I have so many things I want to blog about to....Hayley, my dad, the concert I went to...Tons of things....

Sledding pics

  Hayley & Jordyn walking back up the hillGetting ready to slide down the hill

The girls had so much fun sledding, and I admit I went sledding too..It was so much fun!!!

wow

So I am not off to a good start this year, and that really doesn't surprise me in the least bit. I have been sooo tired lately that I just don't have the energy to do ANYTHING!! Including cleaning my house. However, today I feel very awake and very alert so I am hoping to get some stuff done. Laundry is a big one, its piling up quickly in this house, reorganizing the cupboard from Hell is also on that list....OH and going outside with my new camera and taking pictures of Hayley and her friend sledding. That is next on my list. I am so excited. I got my camera for Christmas and I love it!! So I will try and come back later to blog some more, and maybe put up some pictures.
OH and speaking of pictures, I want to get some scrapbooking done too! I have to completely redo Hayley's 2006 album, and I need to finish 2007 and still do 2008 and 2009..Wow, I have a lot of scrapbooking to do.Promise to explain more later!!

Resolutions.....

My 2010 Resolutions

Quit smoking

Get healthier

Be a better parent

Be a better PERSON in general

Be a better girlfriend

Deal with some issues that have been driving me nuts

Scrapbook more

Spend more time doing fun things with Hayley

Take a trip(this one is already in the works, I am sooo excited. Future blog post coming soon!)

Wow, I am sure I have more, and I know some of them are very typical but they are all things that I want need to do. I have plans to do some of these. For example, we are going to start eatting healthier, watching our portion sizes and excercising more. For Christmas I got a wireless fit thing. Its not the wii (which I am hoping to buy soon) but in the mean time it will work. I also got Biggest Loser Boot Camp DVD I am so excited to try it. The only downfall is our subflooring in our house is starting to crumble and I am afraid to do any major activity on it. Hopefully that will be fixed soon....The odds of that are slim to none so I see a move in my future....

*Sigh* My carpal tunnel is driving me nuts these days and it makes it hard to type for long periods of time so I will talk to everyone later!!!
