The Good News:
Saturday I started a new medication for my migraines. It's something I've taken before, and it's nearly miraculous; I take it twice a day and my migraines go from 5-7 a week to 1-2 a month!!!*
The Bad News:
While I adjust to the meds, I get dizzy just sitting on the couch.
So...I can't drive, I can't read, I can barely walk from one end of the apartment to the other without running into something. I'm thankful that the Little Mister can walk on his own in the house as much as possible.. I'm not going to be online much because it's hard to focus on the monitor. I call myself the space cadet. :) Thankfully this only lasts a week or two, if I remember correctly. But even two weeks of dizziness is worth no more migraines!!!!!
*I had to stop taking it when I wanted to get pregnant, and now that I for sure can't get pregnant it's a safe time to take it again. :)

I do hope you are feeling "normal" again soon!
Wow ~ crummy side effects but hopefully worth it!! Yay for no more migraines!
I hope you make a quick adjustment and I hope the medication works well for you again!
Well I hope the crazy dizziness goes away quicker this time. But it sure beats migraines, doesn't it? Thank heavens!!!
Aw, bless you heart. I hope you feel better quick!
oh, I thought your other meds were taking care of that.
well, no matter. headaches, be gone!!
Oh, Hon! Can Katy and I bring you something and come entertain the Little Mister for a while? Let me know and we'll be there!
That sounds terrible but if it limits your migraines that much then it is probably worth it. Be careful and walk slowly. Heck you can even crawl around if that helps, Little Mister will probably think you're playing with him and you can. Take it easy.
Oh, dear. Sorry about the dizzies. But YAY for no more migraines. See you in a week or two.
So glad you're finding a medication cocktail that's working for you--and, yeah, please stay out of the car while the dizzy thing is in progress! ;o)
Blessings!
Hope you adjust to the meds soon...hang in there.
I can only imagine how bad those migraines must be to put up with those side effects!
Yuck, I hate being dizzy. I hope that you adjust quickly.
Gosh that's a lot of migranes - even WITH the medication. But I'm so glad that you're getting something that will help you!
Good for you. And since Little Mister can walk, my advice (now that this period is probably over) is to let him do whatever it takes to let you rest. He's young enough to not be scarred for life!
