Its been a while!

So I know I have been seriously lacking on my blog posts.. So sorry! My life has been quite crazy the past few months. I am doing better with my headaches. Which is a total plus! Its hard to be a normal 23 year old dealing with constant headaches. It sucks but I guess its life. But like I said, I am doing alot better. I came across a medication that my sister was taking to help with her pain from her back injury. Its called Flexeril. It is a mild muscle relaxant. And I tried it when I was over at her house one night. Because I was having really bad leg pain. And I also had a headache.

So I took one to see if it would help with my horrible headache. And it took my headache away! Along with the leg pain that I was having. I am not quite sure what has been causing my bad leg pain. I have had it before in high school. But, I thought it was just hormones. Well its come back. And it is alot more painful now then it use to be. But since taking this muscle relaxant, my headaches have gone down tremendously. I feel like a new person. :) We have also been in the middle of a big addition on my parents home. Which we started adding on, June 1st. And we are still under construction... So things in the Thomson house have been a bit crazy. Other then all that I wrote, I am staying busy :)

Tomorrow is a new day :)

I cannot tell you how many times I have thought " tomorrow will be better" and try and try to make it that way! Isn't it so disappointing when tomorrow comes and its a crappy day?? Seriously, I get so frustrated with myself because I tell myself that all the time. And actually have a thinking moment of me saying to myself, " tomorrow will be better" I am so tired of saying that and then ending up with it just being " another day" I want to make everyday better! So I know its been a while with me not posting anything... I am kind of a slacker when it comes to this blog. But here is the new scoop on what I plan on and what has happened in the past few months.
My headaches have been really bad. So my sister who is seeing a neurologist, told me that I should really go and see her doctor that she has been seeing. So I went. And he took me off of this medication called celexa. It just was not working. And increased my dose of Amitriptoline. Which is a migraine preventer. And told me that I needed to get myself away from all kinds of pain relievers. Advill, asprin, tyonal, everything to that nature that has been linked to causing migraines. So, I have been trying that and so far. And I have not been able to get away from the Advil very well. I feel at times like I am just slowly allowing my body to take its own risk when taking so much of all these medications. But I try to rotate the medications so I am not just taking one of some sort of medication everyday at all times of the day. Still have not really noticed a difference with that. But he also prescribed me this medication that is a nasal spray. But the bad thing is, I am only allowed to take that twice a week! Which totally sucks! It helps alot. But other then that, I have made myself some new goals.
1. Try to get myself away from soda. It causes so much damage to our bodies.
2. I am going to try to work out more and push myself more. I think I have always been afraid to push myself when I exercise because I am afraid if I do, which I have before pushed myself to much. That I will end up with a horrible migraine. Haha which has happened before. But I am getting bad migraines everyday. Might as well be exercising and at least be working my body out. And if I end up with a migraine. It will just be like every other day. I guess what I am trying to say and do " crossing fingers" is get my life back to somewhat normal. It feels like everything is just passing me by, Why am I allowing it to? Is what I am now thinking. So we will see how this all works out! I am 22 years old, and I was nineteen when my accident happened. Its been three years. I don't get how every little ache and pain can cause migraines. So many things can be causing them. My diet. My T.M.J. Or my back being out of place. Who knows what else their is. I am just tired of hearing all that might be causing my migraines. And I am checking into having a procedure done where they go in, and open my incision and deaden all of the nerves that are within my incision. And I have really been thinking about doing that. I think if I do this, I might be able to cut the migraine attacks. In half. That is the plan and now I think its just kind of waiting to find out when I can have this done. Hopefully soon! So this is my year, I am going to figure out everything that is going on. And fix or try to fix. Whatever it might be. I guess this is a " Venting" post. But it has been very difficult the past few months. And I always feel better when I can just write out how I feel and get it out of me. So if you read this, Sorry for venting. But I feel better now :) I hope everyone else is doing wonderful!

Lots and lots of Updats :)

That is about all that I have been up to with my family :) I am still struggling with the migraine attacks but I am just thankful to still be here! :) It is hard, But I know that things could always be worse in someone Else's shoes! So I am just trying to get on my feet.. I think I am getting closer to getting rid of the cane that has been so helpful with walking! I have had to use it because I have had no equal Librium. That is what helps you stay balanced when walking. I have not had that! So I get alot of dizzy spells so that is why I have had to use the cane! I am so close to getting rid of it.. I think. Haha Which I will be so thankful for when that is gone.... Haha its embarrassing!! My life has been crazy but I would not trade anyone places. Yes, there are alot of ups and downs.... But its so worth it all in the end!! :) Other then all of the things I wrote.
I am helping get things ready for Thanksgiving :) Which is just getting my room ready for my grandma Thomson to come and stay with us! I am almost ready.... Haha which is good because she is coming this next week :) Anyways, I think I have updated enough!
I hope everyone is doing great :) I will post more pictures and update this again after Thanksgiving :)
