Today was a long day. I work at different houses and I worked at the first house from 8am to 2pm. I worked at a second house from 2:30pm to 10pm. It was very long considering I am used to working 2 eight hour days and 1 7 hour day a week. But I made it through it.
My head was okay... around 5 I needed to take an Anaprox, and I made sure to drink a lot of water throughout the entire day. I just tried to be calm and not be tense throughout the day.
My back and arms were troublesome, and in a lot of pain. That could have been because I had to shovel out the company vehicle from about 8 inches of snow that was plowed in. Or it could be the possible fibromyalgia. Or it could be a combination of both.
I have an appointment this week with the headache center and I am going to talk to them about lowering my dose of Topamax. I am at 200 mg and I am finding cognitive problems with it. I lose words; it took me two minutes to think of the word for vest, which I believe I wrote about. I also keep mixing up colors. I asked my girlfriend to pass me something that was green... when there was nothing green nearby. I mean the orange object that was sitting next to her and was quite frustrated when she didn't know what I was talking about. At another point I mentioned my orange sweatshirt, when my sweatshirt was a golden color. My tremor is also quite bad and I would like it to either stop or at least be more manageable.
I found a new website called Medhelp.com (www.medhelp.com). Here, you can use many kinds of trackers, weight loss trackers, and symptom trackers. They have one for migraines that I am going to try to use, perhaps it will be a little easier to use than the old pen and paper, and it charts your progress, much better that I would be able to do.
PM meds taken, 1 Anaprox taken.
