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!
