Saturday 1/8/2011 Catch up

One week down of the new year and that whole blogging regularly didn't go as planned. So here they are, some New Years resolutions...

1) Blog and keep track of the migraines and how I am feeling. Even when I am feeling good. I read "All in My Head" by Paula Kamen recently and she commented on looking back over her decade of headache ridden life that she really did have good memories although it seems like in daily life it sucks moment to moment. So I am going to try to keep that in mind.

So 2) Keep in mind that it doesn't suck all the time. Even when it seems like it does.

3) Do yoga. Somewhat regularly.

So to catch up from this week...

In medication news: The supplier of my 20 mg fluoxetine was changed (from Teva to Sandoz), and I was having symptoms that were similar to when I did not take my fluoxetine, when I did not take my fluoxetine when I was 16. So there were phone calls between the doctor and nurses to call prescriptions to a different pharmacy that uses the old supplier, and I now have my Teva fluoxetine and hopefully things will settle down. Also, I had an appointment with my headache specialist, and I was taken completely off the Verapamil. I was down to 40 mg, and she wanted to see me at something closer to 100mg for it to actually be effective, but I couldn't tolerate it. I was having dizzy spells. There is a little bit with withdrawal, but it is not too bad.

I have been in quite a bad mood, angry and depressed and anxious. I am throwing things, picking fights with people, and then crying if anyone is so much as irritated with me. Why people put up with me I have no idea.
