Migraine Problems

Yesterday my migraine held on tight and refuse to leave me. I was free of appointments and tasks other than taking Tristyn to school and watching Zahkya here at home. I pretty much stayed in bed most of the morning with my puke bucket and a pillow over my head. This migraine was unrelenting and had a lot of pressure associated with it.

I took my blood pressure several times and it was scary high. I kept getting readings like 150/106, 146/110, etc. when I usually run around 120/80 the majority of the time. That nudged me enough to go to the ER. Mom came and picked up Zahkya and I drove myself over to the ER. They ended up giving me a mixture of meds to get rid of nausea but the migraine remained untouched. I got a cat scan of my head and everything looked normal other than it showed I had a very severe sinus infection. They gave me IV antibiotics and something else for my headache that made me really really antsy and uncomfortable. I forget what it was, so to counteract that they gave me IV Benadryl and Ativan. My migraine started to dissipate after that about 70%. They sent me home and they wanted me to follow up with a neurologist which I’m probably not going to do. I already have too many specialists I see right now and to add another one, I just don’t have the time. I’m already seeing a sleep specialist, pulmonologist, hematologist, endocrinologist, gastrointestinal specialist, bariatric specialist, and orthopedic specialist. Where will I fit in neurologist? I just can’t right now. I can’t. Especially with my kids having their own stuff going on.

Zahkya will be starting food aversion therapy on Wednesday. I have to bring foods that she will eat and foods that I want her to eat but she refuses. It’s going to be an interesting appointment. I sure hope it helps her.

I have so many things I need to get done. I got to run a dungeon today on WoW classic. I don’t get to do that very often because I always have kids who always need stuff. Today, they were being really good so I ran ZF. Man, it felt good to heal again. I can’t wait to start doing that more often.
