Finding My Reset Button

10/15/2018

Unfortunately, my reset button is not as easy to find as is Speedy's. All I have to do with him is go for a walk and maybe do some hand grazing. Button reset.

Sucks to be me right now.

Over the weekend, my migraines made a hugely painful comeback. Without sharing too much, I've been seeing a neurologist regularly, I've been through a battery of tests, and I am on a variety of medications. The neurologist has signed me up for a recently approved injection for migraine prevention, but it's not here yet.

Before you ask, yes, I've asked him about that, also that, and surprisingly even that. There isn't a cure for migraines; believe me, I've asked, and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another.

So as I battle through this round, please excuse my radio silence. Hopefully I'll be back in a few days.

I used to get migraines as a kid and am SO grateful I grew out of them. So sorry you're going through it now :-(

Thank you, Tracy. I am hopeful that the doctor can get me medicated enough to at least slow down the frequency. I am not opposed to drugs in this case. Bring 'em on. LOL
